A Southwest Airlines Boeing 737-700, like the plane here, skidded off a Chicago runway in 2005. The probable cause was the pilot s failure to use available reverse thrust in a timely manner to safely slow or stop the aircraft after landing which resulted in a runway overrun, the National Transportation Safety Board ruled.
Southwest Airlines flight 1248 slid off a 6,500-foot runway at Midway while landing during a heavy snowstorm in December 2005. The Boeing 737-700 was still moving at 46 mph when it crashed through a barrier wall and then slid into an intersection outside the airport grounds, hitting two cars. The NTSB found the pilot and co-pilot were unfamiliar with the jet s automatic brake system, which distracted them from thrust reverser usage during the challenging landing.
