Southwest Airlines Boeing 737 Jet Skids Off Runway - New Raw Video
Video of a Southwest Airlines jet overrunning its landfall across the 'Windy City's historically dangerous runway was released Monday by the National Transportation Safety Board. A patch of muddy grass was just enough to catch the Boeing, 134 passenger-filled plane landing in Chicago as it slid off its runway back in April. The video, while foggy in most parts, clearly shows the plane following a straight path before veering off in a sharp left turn.

April's incident is not the first time a plane has gone off a runway, however, especially in Chicago. In a horrific incident in 2005, one Southwest airline sailed through a fence at the same Midway Chicago airport during heavy snow fall, striking two passing cars. Horrific sight: A Southwest jet in 2005 crashed through a fence at the Midway Chicago airport hitting two cars and killing a young boy A six year old boy riding with his parents and two younger brothers was killed, crushed beneath the plane's nose and fuselage. Four others in a second car, caught under the plane's wing, left in serious but stable condition. The 2005 incident occurred exactly 33 years to the day after a plane landing at the Midway airport struck several houses before crashing into its last. Forty-five total were killed in that incident.
