The individuals injured in the 8:30 p.m. landing were a passenger and
a flight attendant, spokesman Jeff Kovick said. As of Wednesday
evening, the airline did not know what caused the Airbus 320's hard
landing."

For me this would represent 100% of the people on board.


If the only people on your plane are one passenegr and one flight
attendant, I'd say a hard landing is almost guaranteed!!
;-)


And why is that?

How about, the runway was higher than planned.

Reports have it going off the runway into the grass and back on the

I'm glad to have my 15K miles in mileageplus expire soon. Untidy
strikes again:

"Flight 628 from Seattle was carrying 122 passengers and five crew
members when it partially left the runway after landing, officials
say. The plane eventually returned to the runway and was able to taxi
to its gate, albeit with a blown tire and damaged engines, said Tony
Molinaro, a spokesman for the Federal Aviation Administration."

If it quacks like a duck and lands like a duck.......its a crash.

And now the city is being subjecting to random bombardments:

"October 23, 2007
A garment bag stowed on board a flight from Midway Airport made an
unscheduled landing less than a mile from the airfield, federal
authorities said Monday.

The bag was accidentally jettisoned from a Delta Connection plane
Sunday morning when a cargo-bay door opened shortly after takeoff,
according to the Federal Aviation Administration.

A duffel bag that also fell out of the plane's cargo hold was still
missing on Monday, she said.
The Atlanta-bound plane, carrying 70 passengers, returned safely to
Midway, officials said....

Airline inspectors had recently written up the plane, a 70-passenger
Bombardier CRJ700, for deferred maintenance on a malfunctioning
indicator light on the cargo door, the FAA said. But the aircraft was
cleared to fly after ground crews completed a visual check to ensure
the door was properly latched before flight, authorities said.

The decision to put the door light problem on deferred maintenance and
go ahead with the flight may have been legitimate, but it is an
interesting coincidence that this incident occurred," said Fred
Mirgle, chairman of the aviation maintenance science program at Embry-
Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Fla.

"Incidents are going to happen, but those doors are damned important
to the safety of the people on board the airplane," Mirgle added.

Meanwhile, the FAA estimated that the garment bag traveled only about
a half-mile southwest of Midway on its intended 590-mile trip to
Atlanta -- and then plunged about a half-mile vertically into the rail
yard.
....
Sunday's luggage incident marked only the latest surprise landing in
the neighborhoods surrounding Midway.

In January, a turbine wheel from the engine of a cargo plane landing
at the Southwest Side airport crashed through the roof of the house of
an elderly Archer Heights resident. The hot piece of metal landed in
the women's bedroom, luckily missing her and her cocker spaniel. The
incident was attributed to engine failure.

In 1999, a tire fell off a Northwest Airlines plane as it took off
from Midway. The tire crashed through an airport fence and struck a
car driven by a pregnant woman near Central Avenue and 63rd Street.
Neither she nor her 7-month-old fetus was injured.

They are attempting to "beautify" the city, but it is a lost cause...
