What about the fact that the Midway Controllers only allowed approaches with a tailwind to a snow-covered runway?
If this was true, then it made no sense, that the airport could not be "turned around", so to speak.
Would an aircraft need to declare an emergency in order to land at MDW (on snow) with a headwind?
It makes no sense that the only option was to divert to nearby O'Hare Airport-but it was a good option, as long as they had decent (jet), new braking action reports.
How will the NTSB factor the MDW tailwind only operation into the cause of the accident?
