they must have had some real
nasty weather in Wisconsin last night. Running off the end of the runway seems to indicate very poor braking conditions. I wonder if the airport had any reports to share with pilots prior to landing.
I sometimes wonder about the longer 737 variants and how there’s less opportunity to flare due to
risk of tail strike.

I understand the desire to get into an airport, but the incident could have been avoided by staying at the first diversion airport.
Yes, the pilots were able to prevent a crash, but in reality most of the landing ended up beyond the control of the flight crew. Could have been a much worse outcome.

Higher landing speed on 739s
