Plane slides off runway at Bush Airport; No injuries reported "Around 8 a.m. today, a United Airlines flight landed on a runway at George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH). As it was exiting the runway for the gate, the aircraft left the pavement and entered the grass along Runway 9-27. Fortunately, no one on board was injured and all passengers were safely transported to the terminal." #United #aviation #accident https://www.click2houston.com/news/local/2024/03/08/plane-goes-off-runway-at-bush-airport-no-injuries-reported/

On this news of the United flight slipping off the runway at IAH, must queue up this song:

Paul Simon - Slip Slidin' Away

"Slip sliding away, slip sliding away
You know the nearer your destination
The more you're slip sliding away"

Modified lyrics for United Airlines...

Slip slidin’ away
Slip slidin’ away
You know the nearer your destination
The more you’re slip slidin’ away

I know a plane
It came to my hometown
It dropped a tire in San Francisco
On some cars below
He said, “United, I live in fear
Your maintenance is so underwhelming
I’m afraid your tires will disappear”

Slip slidin’ away
Slip slidin’ away
You know the nearer your destination
The more you’re slip slidin’ away

@EugestShirley @ai6yr at least it wasn’t a bird or a ground crew member, this time.

@swart @EugestShirley Ground ground crew is very, very, very bad.
