That "Blue goo" you mentioned isn't even a disinfectant, it's just a deodorizer. Unless the airlines have changed juices since my mechanic days at NWA ('92-'05).
I have a question for Allen Burgtoff who was on the flight.
Did the flight crew inform the passengers why the masks dropped and why they were making the rapid decent? I mean during the event, not afterwards. That would have helped reduce the fear factor tremendously.
I totally agree! We bandy the word "Hero" around way too much these days. It also irks me to hear the phase "Sports Hero" and the like. Does any sports player really rate the label "Hero" just because he/she made the winning play?
I can't speak for other airlines but I know that when I worked for NWA as a Mechanic (1992 - 2005) they had deicing crews made up strictly of NWA Cleaners and Baggage Handlers. These were seasonal billets of course. I worked MSP and DTW and Northwest never ran out of deicer fluid. It's a MUST HAVE item for the northern stations. If SWA ran out it's because they were trying to cut costs ( read "being Cheap") and ordered the bare minimum. That stuff is ordered months in advance and stockpiled. It was Chicago for Pete's sake, not Tampa. To say other airlines don't fly as many flights out of MDW as SWA really isn't a valid point as you stock for your anticipated usage plus unanticipated conditions. If you don't use it all then it's there for next years use.
Actually the engine is mounted on an "Engine Pylon" in the DC9 and MD80 series aircraft.
A "Stub Wing" is a term usually used to identify an attachment to the fuselage of a helicopter to which ordnance or aux fuel tanks are mounted.
