Also remember at MDW a Delta taking a SWA takeoff clearance off 04R even though the ATC clearly said 31C. That was another close call. Fast talking ATC for sure, but the runway announcement was clear. Stuff happens. NO airline is immune to incidents and accidents. The problem is when finger pointing starts at one particular airline while not acknowledging the same thing could have happened to their own airline.
Those 15 knot winds down the runway were really tough during the hurricane. I am amazed you believe what the press reports.
