UA2477 suffers runway excursion at KIAH
Makes you wonder why UAL was unable to make the high speed (SF) at the 8,000 ft point. Suspect ATC was planning an SF exit for spacing with the next arrival (1383), thus the “keep your speed up.”
Any bets on whether the CVR was vaporized? At least the FDR will tell the tale.

Ran when parked.
No low ballers.
We know what we have.
Photos on news show considerable turf damage from going sideways off the taxiway. I expect the groundskeeper will demand United replace the divot.

ABC13 first heard the Houston Fire Department reporting the incident on radio traffic around 8 a.m. HFD first reported an "alert two," which means a plane in the air has had some kind of incident that requires emergency response. Within minutes, HFD escalated it to an "alert three," which means a plane has had an incident on the ground.
This Ryanair has already proven they can easily get it done on a dry runway as well...
(ok, Ryanair folks... I know the purple video is out there :-))
Anyway, not saying this is what happened here. Lots is possible.

Purple Video?
Are you referring to the recent FedEx MD-11 taxiing video? It was a MX taxi not pilots at the controls.note the gear pin flag on the left main gear flapping at the end of the video

If the main gear made those skid marks they must have been hauling ass.... Plus max manual braking would have given a bit of Swedish flick to the nose gear.
Nothing a UA crew couldn't accomplish in a normal day of work... if they worked
That's a joke by the way; keep your main wheels on
