OUCH!!! Someones going to the cheif pilots office on Monday! I bet they almost crapped themselves when they realized the lights whizzing by on either side of them. Good thing they managed to make a safe stop without the help of other objects

w00t for NYCA peeps getting the scoop on what is now a national news story two days before the media.

New York Magazine's blog (http://nymag.com/daily/intel/2006/10/work_hard_fly_right_land_wrong.html) puts it best: "Work Hard. Fly Right. Land Wrong."

This was the first day the ITLS was used, very precise approach method.
