ah…ya
Do you suppose the gov’t. would grant clearance to land if there were a true life-threatening emergency? I realize that national security is a policy not taken lightly at all, but can you imagine the media fallout if an a/c bearing 200 souls went down trying to divert to somewhere farther away? (Not that yours was in such danger, but WHAT IF?!) 
Yes, provided any other remedy is unavailable. They’d be directed to land on 32R and woe be unto he who fails to obey!
The aircraft would be parked in the most remote portion of the field and the passengers and crew would be deplaned and seguestered by the civilian protection force that guards the facility.
Failure to comply with tower or “Follow Me” orders after touchdown would result in the aircraft being immediately incapacitated.
Have they given any speculation on why the engine failed? My guess is a portable dvd player.
Airline flight attendants are pretty strict with the “please turn off all electronic devices…” They utterly fail to mention the definition of an “electronic device.” If one were to take that litterally, the FAs would be operating “electronic devices.” Those little wrist watches. Yes, they are electronic (electrons from the batteries) and yes FAs use them. Oooops, violation!
I was on a CRJ-200 from MSP to DAY. There was one FA and boy was she STRICT. We had began our decent and FA said “you can now use your CD players, etc…” The guy siting next to me was reaching up and almost had his CD player out of the bin when the FA looked at him and said over the PA “Wait! I will get it it for you.” To make a short story short, she got the CD player out of the bin. ([computer voice]Please pay close attention to the sarasm that will follow.[/voice]“Thank you FA for getting my CD player!”)
How did you like DAY?
I’ve only been there once at night and didn’t get a good look around the airport.
It has been several months now since this incident.
From time to time, when I am extremely bored, I’ve checked the
ASIAS database for a summary of the event.
Nothing there yet even though there are several reports from
incidents that have occurred since that date.
Is there another place to look for an official report?
I prefer it to night, sometimes. You tend to get more done outside because of the added light.
What is the ASIAS database?
I looked in the NTSB’s database. I did a search for all US Airways incidents/accidents since 2001 and came up with nothing. Did the same thing for the Airbus A321. I came up with only one incident. Finally, I did a search for *any *incident/accident on 9/14/06. Only three incidents that day - an MD-11 in Subic Bay (Philippines), a C310 in Missouri, and a PA23 in Florida.
Other than the NTSB database and the FAA’s Preliminary Accident & Incident database (which only has data for the past 10 days), I don’t know where else to look for your information.
Go here:
I guess it is really the AIDS database (first link on the page).
Like you, I’ve done searches on US Airways and Airbus, etc.
They all come up blank. Maybe they are just taking an
extra long time investigating the engine failure. Beats me.
