Is it me or are they mashing two stories together ?
First the SW flight was coming back and the Citation had to depart quickly, then the citation returns too and crashes ?
" The Cessna Citation 500 was preparing to leave the airport at 10 a.m. CST when its pilot was told to quickly take off because a Southwest Airlines Co. plane with some sort of problem was coming in, Houston Fire Department District Chief Tommy Dowdy said. "
Then....
" The Southwest 737, with 119 passengers, ended up being diverted to the city's other major airport, Bush Intercontinental, where it landed safely. Southwest spokeswoman Ginger Hardage said Flight 422 had departed Hobby for Las Vegas but was forced to return to Houston after a cockpit gauge reported a high oil temperature. "
Then...
" The Citation apparently began experiencing some sort of problem and asked if it could return to Hobby, Dowdy said.
It hit and slid. There was a fire," he said. "This thing tumbled around 300 feet. There was extensive damage. It hit on one of the runways and slid across a grassy area to a parallel runway."
So like the Citation leaves rapidly, SW comes in with an emergency, then the Citation returns with an emergency and crashes ?
Is it just me or did they manage to confuse this up a bit ?
