Hello Folks, Burbank, Glendale, Pasadena (BUR) Airport has been hard at work at the most eastern end of the runway... from where the Southwest 737-300 jumped off from onto Hollywood Way Blvd. Every night for what seems to be now a very long while they have been working on Soft Cement. It is however, at the very end of the runway. Could this new technology have stopped the "First" Southwest accident from happening...? Maybe. Before this accident, there were several, and if poor english applies... Many Several Almost, accidents that would have caused a similar accident. To dispel rumors... The Chevron gas station across the street from the end of the runway is still there and under the same ownership of the night of the accident. How do I know? I work for Enterprise Rent-a-Car and use that gas station several times a week to refill cars that have been returned "other than full" of gas. Oh yeah, by the way... Almost all of the near accidents similar to the one that night have been in fact... Southwest 737s. My next door neighbor was on one of these almost near accident flights and recalls having to be pushed back because the nose was almost touching the blast fence at the end of that same runway. Take Care all. Juan Carlos Gideon BUR boy
