I think landing on a taxiway is about the same as landing on Broadway. Am I crazy? A senate hearing should be heard.

I'm sorry, but if you land on a taxiway 999 times outta 1000 someone f'd up. They definitely got some splianin' to do, and I hope this was that 1 in a thousand time. If there was a fully loaded 777 on that taxiway, I'd take the ravine over the taxiway anyday.

Like I said, I hope this is the 1 out of a thousand time that is might be ok to land on a taxiway. Until we hear more details I will withhold further judgement and go back to frolicking in the regional forum.
