Thanks guys....and I have fly to BUF tomorrow. Glad I chose to go early on an RJ rather than a Colgan turbo prop.
And yes, about 3 years ago a CO 757 landed safely on an east/west taxiway at EWR by mistake. Normally they use the North/South runways but this was a windy night and they were forced to go east/west and just missed....despite runways and taxiways having different color coded lights.....
