Yankees: Private Jet with Players Overran Runway
A private jet overran a runway at Bob Hope Airport on Friday and was stopped by an arresting system. The aircraft was carrying New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez and six others.
Fortunately none of the seven passengers were injured. This incident took place only two days after Yankees pitcher Cory Lidle's plane failed to execute a U-turn and slammed into the side of a high-rise in Manhattan, killing Lidle and his flight instructor.
The jet, a Gulfstream G-II, carried five passengers and two crew members. The aircraft, registered to a Wilmington, Del., corporation, departed from Las Vegas earlier the same day, on Friday. At 11:35 the twin-engine jet approached the airport to land from the west but could not stop and landed on one of the airport's two runways. Eventually it was brought to halt by the Engineered Materials Arresting System. The system is a 200-foot-long stretch of pavement injected with air bubbles designed to collapse under the weight of an aircraft as large as a Boeing 737 jet travelling as fast as 50 knots. The jet managed to be stopped and very little damage to the aircraft could be seen.
An investigator from NTSB has been sent at the airport the incident. The investigation will include retrieving the cockpit voice recorder, gathering radar data and evaluating how well the arresting system worked. Apparently the crew onboard did not report any problems or wet runway before landing or that the runway was wet. Investigators will now have to determine if the jet had already arrived and was taxing at the time of the accident or if it overran the runway upon landing.
Bob Hope Airport, where the incident occurred, is located in the San Fernando Valley north of downtown Los Angeles. The airport is used by seven airlines and private aircraft. Over the recent years the airport experienced similar incidents. In 2000, a Southwest Airlines jet skidded off a runway and crashed through a concrete barrier at the airport in 2000, injuring 43 passengers and the captain. The investigation has shown that the aircraft was arriving too fast and descended at a steep angle when it landed. The jet ended up on a city street near a gas station.
