Wow, I'm glad there were no injuries. Is there an initial report as to what happened? Any SW guys know about the Braking action report, taxi speed, etc, at the time?

Passengers were taken to the British Airways lounge.
How random.

Glad no one was hurt. I won't MMQB the crew until we know more details. Just glad they're ok.

I think it would be safe to say contaminated surfaces had something to do with it.

Yea its security footage of the skywest pilot taking the plane and crashing it into the parking lot of the airport. He shot himself before being captured by the police. He was wanted for murder of his ex-girlfriend.

Yeah, but there were lots of planes landing at the time and only SWA lost control.

Sometimes you just have to slow down a little...

I guess we don't really have all the facts yet. Just poking fun at my fast taxiing buddies over there!
