Re: Southwest B737 Overrun @ Chcago MDW

hand - slightly misleading post? - the advantage in keeping reverse in to a stop if needed is that you are, apart from producing SOME braking effect, removing most elements of forward thrust which can spoil your day even more. In an emergency, ingesting exhaust gases is a minor consideration put against ingesting mud, grass or worse.
