Re: Jet Blue incident - foam?

There is a very good reason why they do not foam a runway these days and  
that is the aircraft are heavier and therefore with foam will slide and there is  
a greater chance that the aircraft will good off to one side of the  runway.  
They still do use foam on runways only when an aircraft has a  engine fire on 
the wing and jet fuel is leaking .  They do that to contain  the fuel from 
becoming explosive.
