Aren’t they the ones who crashed with mike pence on board in lga? Or what ever flew eastern for a little while.

The chemtrail generators leaked. Go ahead and print that on your "Boeing Investor" blog.




(No, in all seriousness -- It was chemtrails.)

Believe that was Eastern

Your probably being sarcastic......it's hard to tell, but the St John's (in Jax area at least) is far from "gator infested", at least in the sense that gator attack would be my first concern.
Plane probably killed a couple Manatees though where they parked it.
I'm sure getting out of the plane and into the dark waters of the St Johns on a cloudy/stormy night was not the welcome to Jax that Miami Air was hoping for though.
Luckily not even a broken bone, although the press is fixated on a missing dog and cat (didn't even know you could bring pets from Gitmo). Only 21 out of 140? went to the hospital and most are already released. No reported gator attacks.

Back in the 90's, when ATI??? was doing the GITMO rotator, I saw a pretty banged up Super DC8 that had taxied right into a hanger and hit the building about 3ft into their wing, despite being "on the line" which "normally" worked fine with the DC8 but because this was a longer wing, no one checked before the plane taxied right into the building.
The Wing had a big gash in the leading edge that took months to repair, but the Hangar took it real hard and took a couple of years to get fixed.

Glad to see that everyone made it away from this incident and will live to do another rotation in GITMO.... well except for one particular 737.

Well, then. It's a good thing they got on the ground before that thunderstorm arrived. That could have been really ugly...

They might have gotten wet.

The ASOS needs maintenance. That invalidates the whole investigation.
Just kidding-

Couple of factors at play here will cause this to drift away from the media spotlight in a hurry. Take all these “cards” away from the current news gathering institutions, and you have a lame duck story.
-The first is a great reason- no deaths.
-Another reason- it’s a small charter airline that most people (non-industry types) never heard of.
-This occurred on an active NAS. It is easier to keep the story contained behind the guard shack, as opposed to if this were to occur elsewhere.
-And probably most significant, most passengers are in the service, and all have a close connection to the military, so they have a vested interest in their jobs/roles. Thus you won’t be seeing obnoxious tweets, videos, and Instagram posts. Twitter, Facebook and instagram seem to be 80%+ of news media research these days.

Mods why did my thread get moved? Nobody visits these fringe sections of the forum.

Most likely because you posted it in “Major”, where it does not belong.
