#1 Stupid headline by the morons at Yahoo. Had nothing to do with the type of plane. This was human error.

#5 There isn't an inch of the areas between the gates, taxiways and runways that isn't 'controlled' by someone.

The new outer taxiway and runway configurations at O'hare are better than they used to be, although the taxiways near the gate areas are still a clusterf*ck.

#6 Same day this happened, Mrs. Ret. and I were departing Kalamazoo, Mi, in about 25 degree weather. Our plane, a CRJ had sat on the ramp all night and got cold-soaked. As a result, the cabin door would not close. American Eagle ground crew used a huffer’s exhaust to warm it up so it could be closed(took 45 minutes and 3 people. Cabin steward’s seat was directly adjacent to it; with the Boeing door plug fiasco fresh in my head, i asked Spousal and Daughter Units to keep the seat belts low and tight.
Watching this circle jerk, I half expected Clyde Clutchrider (A&P certified) to appear with a Harbor Freight comealong to ‘encourage’ the door to close.
We werent on the news so must have made it.
