Southwest went off the end of a snowy runway at Chicago Midway and killed a car passenger because deployment of reversers was significantly delayed over the assumed deployment time in their landing-distance calculation.
There are many other factors that also contributed to that accident. Let's be careful in stating a single "cause," especially when the final accident report has not yet been published.
