Soutwest at SFO

did anyone hear anything about an incident involving Southwest at SFO on the 13th of October, apparently almost ended up in the bay and closed the runway for about 30 mins.

I am not sure if it was a reject, I heard the news from one of my fellow "bus" drivers.

Sorry for the late reply, he said Southwest almost ended up in the "bay" and shut down the Runway for about 30 minutes, like you I was unable to find anything.

I'm just trying to figure out what happened and to who.

If it was Southwest or Virgin America it doesn't matter to me...but I do want to know what happened.

Was it a reject? Was it off the side of the runway?

WHAT?

Heard some black helicopters swooped in whisked away all the witnesses. I'm guessing it must have been SW (VA's helicopters are midnight blue).

Must have been VA, because Southwest doesn't operate at SFO, only Oakland and San Jose.

Oh yes we do! As of late August (Me thinks) or September.
