I’m Glad I Didn’t Know This before My Plane Landed Yesterday 0
We had a graceful approach, turning over Seattle to descend into SeaTac International Airport from the north. Fortunately, we landed on the correct runway.
Three planes, including an American Airlines MD-80 carrying 111 passengers and crew members, actually landed on the taxiway. Five others — most recently in January of this year — either performed last-minute “sidesteps” to shift course and land on 16R, or aborted their landings before circling and touching down safely on the runway.
