A few times, I've sat in my car at the light at 63rd and Cicero watching a plane come in low and wondering if it's the last thing I'll ever see.

Southwest airline 737 plane now sitting in intersection of 55th and Central. Wrong intersection. Should've tried the drive-thru at White Castle.

When I have to fly, I take SW. The pilots are really good about avoiding bad weather and having smooth flights. The rush on landings as they step on those brakes though...oh boy!:').

Hey! There's my White Castle!

Photo makes it look level and nose looks to be on the ground. Could be uphill to the fence?

I worked at America West, we have a pilot whose brother is Rick Husband, the commander of the Columbia disaster. Really sucked, Keith Husband is one helluva guy.

I spent some early bleary-eyed mornings at that particular White Castle myself about 25-30 years ago.

What is up with Fox? It's like if nuclear war broke out in primetime, all we'd get was a crawl under O'Reilly.

What the press won't tell you is that Southwest is in for some tough times ahead. Their labor costs are getting out of control, and the only thing keeping them profitable is their fuel hedging.
The other majors have lowered their costs considerably and have worked to level the field.
To: mhking
If you stand at that corner, it looks like it's all level in any direction for hundreds of miles.

The funny thing is CNN was picking up the video from WFLD, our local Fox network.

WMAQ reports one person in a vehicle seriously hurt. No report if the plane hit the car or the car hit the plane.
SW 1248 originated in Baltimore.

Any local station have live streams online? I gave up on TV, listening to WBBM but they're doing sports now.
