Slip slidin’ away
Slip slidin’ away
You know the nearer your destination
The more you’re slip slidin’ away

Props to Paul Simon, this was the first thing to come to mind.

A pretty much non-event. It happens. Nobody was hurt.

The plane will get a thorough inspection. It's required.

I nearly slipped on the ice today and then almost locked myself out of my house. And I nearly made a spelling mistake while writing this important news.

I was in an airplane that slid off the runway, at Erie PA, in 1979. I was headed to Massena, NY, with a stop in Erie, Syracuse, Watertown, and finally Massena. Didn't make it home that day. They put me up in a hotel. Dropped off my bag and went to get dinner. Came back to find the security chain on my room attached. WTF?? Went to the office and there was my bag. "Oh, sorry, we didn't know we had already given that room to someone. Here's a key to a different room."

The rest of the trip went about as well as that.

That was a better outcome than SWA passengers recently had. @ least you got a room & kept your luggage.

I suppose my question would be, did the aircraft nearly almost maybe slide off the runway, or did it actually slide off the runway and if so, into what?

NOTE: In other breaking news, United Airlines reported that one of their Boeing 787's almost crashed at London's Heathrow airport when the right wing almost fell off. A 12 year old passenger reported he saw the rear porting of the wing moving up and down as the plane approached the airport. It is currently under investigation by the FAA who dispatched investigators to London. They are expected to issue a preliminary finding by the end of March, when the plane may be returned to service.

No damage to the aircraft? I wouldn't fly that aircraft until it had a really thorough inspection.

Years ago (1957) in a 170 Cessna, fully loaded with 4 passengers, baggage, and full tanks (big mistake) with a warm day (around 85*) with high altitude with no fence at the end of the runway (thank goodness) and no lift so we went at 100 mph off the end of the runway and pushed down to get up to full speed (120-140 mph) to level off and it worked. Thank goodness for the Mesa with good air off the end of the runway. Pilot error (My Father). No crash but it could have been. No fence at the end of the runway saved us. Whew. A close one! Same airport: Wyoming Regional.

Shades of Aerosucrae. When the Pan Am Clipper ‘Pacific Clipper’ was caught out over the Pacific between. by the attack on Pearl Harbor 7 Dec. 1941 between Nouméa and Auckland it was forced to circumnavigate the globe to ‘safely’ return to the US over largely unmapped air routes.

After arriving @ Leopoldville, Congo & facing a 3100 mile leg towards Brazil w/little marking for error; the Pacific Clipper was seriously overloaded w/fuel. Going w/the current if the Congo River, it was forced to takeoff toward the Congo Gorges & Livingstone Falls. It came w/in a gnats behind of not making it.

LOL... Skywest made a point to say they did not slide all the way off the runway.. LOL... 1 wheel barely on the edge of the runway... Another 3 inches and would have been... To me this sounds like uneven breaking... But with the Anti-Skid system should have compensated.. Improper use of the TR's could have also had an impact on this. I think ultimately this will come down to Pilot Error!

Yes, it's a difficult airport. Built on top of a mesa. Some reports mentioned black ice on the runway

Looking at the photo "almost off the runway' is 'like being a little bit pregnant' When the front landing gear is buried and one of the two main landing gears is in the mud 'almost' is playing with words.

It is clearly picking at nits.

I don't feel flying that airline into that airport is any safer for the distinction.

Wonder if there was a breaking action report for the airport and how the runway length compares to the flight manual for the aircraft under the prevailing conditions.

If a landing was attempted in conditions not suitable, the pilots failed their passengers when they attempted the "impossible". Never mind how it actually turned our.

That’s a bold statement from reading one article. “Should have”, “sounds like”, and “could have” are broad terms that demonstrate nothing. Have you ever landed a jet on a runway impacted by snow and ice? If so, you might consider not making statements declaring “I think…pilot error.” That is why investigations were invented. In any case, free speech is just that however irresponsible. And as for opinions, we all have them….
