MDW Overrun - SWA
"Mike Schumann" wrote in message nk.net... Braking conditions were apparently reported as fair to poor. I would think that that would be sufficient to question the wisdom of landing with a tail wind on a relatively short (for commercial jets) runway. I recall reading that it was reported as fair, and if it had been poor, another runway would have automatically been put into use, and the first one closed. I could be wrong, but that is what I remembered. -- Jim in NC
