chicargo midway to install emas
found on the RIN website
Chicago midway airport is set to install an Engineered Materials Arrester System (EMAS) to help guard against potentially dangerous runway overruns.
The news follows the death of a six year old child at the airport in December 2005, when a Southwest Airlines plane from Baltimore careered off the runway and crashed into two cars.
The move to install the EMAS has been widely welcomed.
