You May Remember...
…eight years ago, when Southwest Airlines Flight 1455 from Las Vegas overshot the runway at Burbank, crashed through a metal blast wall and then through the airport perimeter wall and came to rest on Hollywood Way, a four-lane city street, near a Chevron gas station.
Amazingly, only two passengers received serious injuries. Even more amazing, check out the gas prices!
H.T. to Mike!

OMG I so long for the good old days!!!
How quickly we forget! Now we would be elated to see $3/gal again!
LOL! I remember! I was living in Burbank and it made a huge mess!
LOL! Talk about pilot error! How would you like that on your resume?
Imagine if you were on that plane! OMG that would be so scary! Thank goodness more people weren't seriously hurt!
LMAO!
Must be embarrassing for the pilot. "Oh, there's Bill. He's the guy who crash landed at Burbank. Shhhhh....Here he comes....Don't say anything."
"Hi Bill.. Landed at Burbank recently?"
"Hi Bill.. Filled up at the Burbank Chevron lately?"
We always said that any landing you walk away from is a good one.
Ever imagine we would be fondly remembering $3 gas?
"I see from your application your last job was as a pilot for Southwest Airlines....Why did you leave that job, and why are you applying for our "janitorial technician" position here at Handy Wipes?"
"Well, um, long story.... Let's just say that aviation didn't work out for me...."
You guys are cruel!!
Dang, I filled up this morning in Orlando and regular was $3.90. I seen it as high as $4.02 in some places. Hope it comes down soon or don't know what we will do.
lol!!!
