What: Air Busan Boeing 737-400 en route from Fukuoka (Japan) to Busan (South Korea)
Where: Fukuoka Japan
When: Dec 26th 2010
Who: 153 aboard
Why: When cleared for takeoff, the Air Busan flight was taxiing when it went performed a runway incursion as a Jal Express Boeing was on final approach. The incursion casued a collision hazard/ loss of separation with an aircraft taking off, intending to take off, landing or intending to land. The Jal had to perform a go-around, but landed safely less than half an hour later. Then the Air Busan flight took off normally.
Remember July 10, 2007 when we all heard about the plane falling out of the sky and demolishing a house and killing some of the residents? It was the Woodard house, and Joe Woodard’s wife Janise and her infant son, Joseph were killed in the fireball.
So now he is in the process of rebuilding–with changes because he could not bear the house to be the same.
Now his Home Owner’s Association has put him on notice, saying that his shingles don’t match the neighbors and they don’t like his new home’s elevation. He has to fix the inconsistencies or risk litigation, He says he’s tried to reach them, but can’t get thru.
They must be some real first class gems. Do you think they had their eyes on poor Joe’s Nashcar settlement?
