Gee, can you really fault WN for MIA00LA169? The Nashville International Airport terminal sustained a complete electrical power outage due to transiting thunderstorms and lightning. Main terminal lighting and jetway power was interrupted for about 1 hour 30 minutes. During that time, a Southwest Airlines Boeing 737-500 cleared the runway after landing, and the pilot taxied to the parking ramp to await the arrival of portable airstairs. After about an hour delay, a passenger left his seat, assaulted a flight attendant, and jumped out of the aft cabin passenger-loading door. He sustained a fracture of the left wrist, and was picked up and transported to a medical clinic by the airport police. DCA00MA030 was the famous 'through the fence and park at the gas station' incident. --On Monday, May 19, 2003 22.04 -0700 David Ross <damiross2@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > While it is true that WN has not killed any pax, it has had several > accidents and incidents.
