This story made NBC nightly news tonight. Of course they showed a A320 not the 777 for AA

They showed what looked like a 762 for DL.

I took this AA flight in December. I remember the long taxi after pushing back at T8. I remember saying to myself I feel like I'm driving around the perimeter road of a large shopping mall. lol

I’m not sure why the AA plane went merrily along.

Maybe I missed it but do we know what speed the Delta jet was going just before it slammed on the brakes?
