As of Wednesday evening, the airline did not know what caused the Airbus 320's hard landing." How about, the runway was higher than planned. BDS Reports have it going off the runway into the grass and back on the runway. A CRASH in my book...JG "jgrove": Were you: a. born a fool b. achieved foolery through long education c. achieved it through many years of practice d. achieved it through any combination of the above? 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. |

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. |

The duffel bag that held the doll and other personal property is still missing." or being held as a POW at Teamster's union hall...JG |
