ANN Special Feature: Acting NTSB Chairman Mark Rosenker 06.22.06
They're over... two days of hearings into a deadly mishap at Midway airport... where a Southwest Airlines Boeing 737-700 ran off the end of the runway and onto a busy Chicago street. The aircraft collided with a car... killing a six-year old Indiana boy. It happened on December 8th... a snowy night in Chicago. In fact... Flight 1248 didn't take off from Baltimore on time because of weather delays in Chicago. Once airborne... the condition of the runways at Midway was a topic for frequent discussion between Captain Bruce Sutherland and First Officer Steven Oliver along the way. There was a lot of radio chatter between Flight 1248 and the ground on that topic as well. As a result... the crew got various stories about the slickness of the runway... all of them subjective. Mark Rosenker is acting Chairman of the NTSB. In an exclusive interview with Aero-News... he says that's one aspect of the accident that will clearly get a lot of attention as the safety board digests what it's heard over the past two days.
