it is so difficult to get the story straight early on. to the person who indicated difficulty stowing #2 reverser, thank you. even if your info is wrong, thanks for something very interesting to ponder.

an AP article said the plane had cleared the runway and on the taxi way spun around.

somehow I don't think the #2 reverser is the cause, though I could be wrong. if properly functioning the throttle could not be advanced in forward thrust. but again, too soon to really know.

I've seen too many decent approaches and landing ruined by a quick exit onto a very slippery taxi way. a prudent pilot should come to a straight stop on the runway. then, carefully maneuver off the runway onto the taxi way very slowly.

I saw one cocky captain (when I was an f/o) exit the runway. I said, be careful , the atis said this taxi way is slippery. he told me to shut the @#$ up. 2 seconds later we were slipping out of control, I shouted, "REVERSE".

we stopped.

I didn't fly with that a@#$%^&*() anymore.
