I recall many years back think Southwest ran out of runway and ended on the road after crossing the barriers. No one was killed or seriously injured if I can recall. Yes those planes comes in Hot when landing and you always think when they going to stop.
I usually use Ohare for my travel.
I remember that incident. Unfortunately, a 6 year old passenger in the vehicle died.
