EXACTAMUNDO. This is a problem that sticks its ugly head up every so often. If the tower isn't accurate about the runway condition, you are now along for the ride. Here's to hoping the crew isn't put through the ringer, and is actually commended on their airmanship, given the conditions.

I'd be willing to bet that both pilot seat cushions are a total writeoff.

Too soon, methinks.
This could have been much much worse. Small prayer of thanksgiving that they aren't in the water. Thoughts going out to you Delta bubbas and bubbettes and the crew involved.
