@stefanholtnbc: The invisible safety net at the end of the runway. What is EMAS? And how did it help stop a plane at Chicago Executive Airport after it ran off the runway? #travel #aviation #safety #planecrash #avgeek @NBC Chicago

Gavin✈️🌪️📷 :

I wonder if this is the reason midway has it 😂

Bryan MacDonald :

Unfortunately Chicago knows all too well about crushed concrete/tarmac. Rip Meigs Field

user3225795434 :

In Asia they just have walls

nevah2old :

so, like the sand pit at the end of a 1/4 mile drag strip. Interesting 🤔

Mlp :

So do they have to replace it every time when a plane needs it?

lucas.w.v :

it’s ironic that the FAA literally just did a random “did you know” post on instagram explaining exactly what EMAS is

AirJobBoss :

I really enjoy this content. This guy is good.

Ninethebestever :

Great video. I happened to be part of the recovery crew on this incident. Your statistics I found very interesting, personally been involved in 3 EMAS recoveries. It’s very interesting material that finds its way into everything when disturbed.

Kissin’ Kate Barlow 💋 :

You know what… this brings me comfort. Whenever I land at midway I’m like “they need to slow this thing down, we don’t got a lot of room here.” And now knowing this, I can relax a bit.

.a4alex :

I didn’t know you were a pilot? I have watched you since I was a kid if you could reply that would make my day!!

Matthew Dolinski :

That’s my home airport

infamousZest :

probably how fighter jet pilots feel when they land on a ship and immediately come to a stop

alex :

This was yesterday at KBCT, the airport I fly out of

Tye Keppler :

Lucas :

If it’s gulfstream I ain’t going 🥀🥀

GWEP :

I heard some (private) pilots avoid EMAS to preserve the jet/cost if they think the overrun won’t be too far

Greggie monty :

Isn’t this PWK

badussy :

nice

amandatpro :

KBCT had one last nine too

user3961097887896 :

34 has 5,000 ft of runway. Plenty of rnwy for that type of plane. WX wasn’t bad either. Wonder why they landed so long

theboogieman007 :

Dude i literally watched the damn thing happen and was like “surely it’s gonna slow down right?”

chucklesmojomba :

you actually see those from the road

Chicago Flicks :

Literally my local 😔🙏

Mega_playz1 :

The fact that, that same exact runway was the first time I’ve flew a Cessna this hits close to home. And also about 1/8 mile away of my childhood aswell.

Waiting here for the people who blame Boeing for everything.
