Video: Drifting (Unintentionally) in a Boeing 737

they should have sanded and salted the taxiway and runway

now we know which way the wind is from... expensive weather vanes they have up there

hey mark think smart you cant use salt at an airport otherwise it will eat away at the metal

i forgot about that but i know sand will work if i am not mistaken

Haha, this video is great. Im sure he just shut down and had them tow him in. I think there was probably some pax that wanted to got for another spin :)

Here in SLC they use a liquid deicer when its real bad, bust mostly just plows, sweepers, and blowers.

Sand is FOD, not to be used on ramps, taxiways, or runways

I've had a similar experience in a hospital-style wheelchair....sliding 360-degree loop...on black ice....I can't imagine what was going through the passengers or crews minds when this happened. Wow
