@globalaviation.1: Down in Southern California, a Southwest B737 has skidded off of the runway in Burbank. The incident occurred at around 9 am on the 6th of December. Flight 278 from Oakland had 5 crew and 112 passengers onboard. While nobody was thankfully hurt in the incident, it has proved that safety measured implemented since a similar accident in 2000 are effective. The incident saw Burbank airport closed for around 3 hours while emergency services responded to the incident. The aircraft was halted in its tracks by a system at the end of the runway called EMAS, a material which is designed to stop aircraft overshooting a runway.
