CO 737 departs end of runway in DEN
 

cbs4denver.com - Boeing 737 Goes Off Runway At DIA

Its on fire. Hope everyone is okay.

And COEX in ALB too. Ya'll be careful out there...

someone went off 4R today in jfk...it looks like around one of the high speeds further down...they ended up spinning us around and just landing us on 31L...it looked like a 767 or an Airbus...

think it might have been an AA 767. we landed on 4R yesterday and it was pretty slick... but I still made the mid-runway turn off and the CA had to add power. Autobrakes 3 rocks!

DEN has some pretty long rwys, so Im hoping things weren't really out of hand for this crew. Hope everyone is okay!

GEEZ!!!
That makes CHO, SLC,ALB,DEN... in the past two days?
Anywhere else?
(Not just Continental, I am talking all companies)

And winters just getting started.

Do you think there is any correlation?

Strike At Potash Factory Causes Shortage Of Main Ingredient For De-Icers, Threatens Flight Shortages | AHN | December 20, 2008

It hasn't snowed for a few days around here (DEN), so I don't think braking action would be anything less than good. The latest is that it veered off the side of the runway about 2000 feet down. It was around the Whiskey Charlie intersection on 34R, while on the takeoff roll. The news reported crosswinds of about 31 knots. Not sure if they were trying to make something of that, or not, but that doesn't seem significant, to me. No fatalities. Roughly three dozen were transported to a local hospital with injuries. Most were minor. No critical injuries, but a few with broken bones, flesh wounds, head wounds, neck injuries and back injuries. One passenger reported hearing a loud "explosion" from the right engine, followed by fire coming from around the right engine, followed by smoke in the cabin with the aircraft catching fire. The fire was put out almost immediately. The same passenger said that the aircraft lifted off shortly, then slammed back down, and then veered off the runway. The aircraft ended up in a drainage area, described as a "ravine" by an airport operations manager. Emergency exits were used to evacuate the aircraft. That's all I've heard for now.

I guess I was referring also to the numerous other incidents today as well; JFK, SLC, and ALB. I just remember hearing about this issue a while ago and am wondering if they are not treating the runways and taxiways as they have in the past. Your description of events sound like it is unrelated. Thanks for the detailed info.
