[QUOTE="James Snover, post: 13661385, member: 67454"] That could have happened to anyone. Those of you thinking "That never would have happened to me," have probably never been in a position of responsibility where you could have made a mistake like this. This reminds me of an old flying joke: A jet is coming in for a landing. They see the runway, and the co-pilot says, Wow, that runway sure looks awful short." The pilot says, "You're right. Give me five degrees flaps and slow down to half throttle." As they get a little closer, the copilot says, "Cap, that runway is really short! "Cut the throttles to zero, maximum flaps, air-brakes deployed!" the pilot says. "Cap, we're not going to be able to stop! That runway is way to short!" The pilot, now in a panic, shouts, "Maximum reverse thrust! Brace for impact!" By some miracle they get the plane stopped without going over the end of the runway. The co-pilot says, "Wow, Cap, this runway sure is short, but would you just look at how wide it is? It must be a mile wide on either side of us!" [/QUOTE]
