Not defending anyone but can anyone tell where that is at? It kind of looks like T3 on the northeast side of 13/31. The Jepp charts make T3 look like it goes straight across but it angles slightly and is poorly lit. I could see how it could be a problem if you are taxiing fast.

So you land 13 and try to take T3 at 60 knots...and then your right main blows a tire and you veer right in the dirt?
Only the data will tell the truth...but for now everyone can Wednesday-morning quarterback.
Personal lesson learned, just slow down. Efficiently and on time do not matter if safety is missing in the front of the statement.

Since speed was apparently not an issue (as you so defiantly proclaimed), what can you lay blame on now?
Possibly just a bad night on the line? Something that any of us could fall prey to?
Something akin to what your two brothers - from that recently acquired airline of flawless aviators - now in an SWA cockpit together, encountered recently off the taxiway in RIC?
