fucked up.
for those of you that havent been to chicago, midway, borders many city strets and houses. there are big 15 or 20 foot walls between the airport's runways and the streets that border the airport. apparently this jet just couldnt stop and rammed right through it.
its really bad here, the plows havent even taken acre of the streets, i had a hard ass time getting home, and there was even too much snow to do donuts.

That's fucked up.

Funny you post this. They have my airport shut down because of this...
No planes taking off or landing until they get the runways cleared of ice, which supposedly is going to take 2-3 hours?

That's pretty fucked up. I can't imagine what must be going through the parents of that boy. What are the fucking odds? They must feel like shit.
