"No one was injured in the landing. All 125 passengers and crewmembers waited about an hour before they were able to get off of the plane. The women and children were taken off the plane first and transported to the terminal by bus."

An hour to deplane? Did it sink too far into the mud to deploy slides?

"The pilot came in too high and too fast. It was obvious and there were serious issues with the landing," passenger Richard Ritter said.

To the mods,
We are quick to move delta incidents but leave other airlines incidents on here for a longer time. Just something I've noticed....

I'll move anything I see safety related as soon as I see a thread that is appropriate for the forum.
If you see one that should be in the safety forum and is not - please report it.
We made the safety forum specifically for such threads.
