BURBANK (CBSLA) — A Southwest Airlines flight arriving at Burbank Airport from Oakland skidded off the runway after landing Thursday morning.
The jet was stopped by the airport’s Engineered Material Arresting System, which is designed to stop an aircraft that goes off the end of a runway.
The flight had 117 passengers on board.

It has happened to that airline on that runway prior to EMAS.

Good judgment comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgment.
