"No passengers were injured" Did they really expect pax to be injured?, after mall it was a slight technical malfunction, not a injury producing event (Just Saying!)
It was a little bit more than a technical issue.... By my understanding he was showing a flap asymmetry. That means once that is detected the flaps are locked out and cannot move in either direction. By my understanding his flaps were all the way up meaning that he would have landed at 180 knots.... that is a pretty tough touch down... very little room for error.
I'm am expert at nothing! Would a little walk to behind the wing clear up what the flaps were doing?
My understanding is they were doing nothing. Locked in the up position or not down much at all. That would also mean no Kruger Flaps either....
SWA just can't stay out of the news!
Things like this happen on every airline every once in a while. This incident is only being reported because southwest is having a rough month and it makes good news
I know.... I see Delta just had a smoke incident... maybe that will take some heat off of them.
Allegiant seems to have faded from the spotlight a little also.
