The NTSB is investigating an incident last week in which,
in order to avoid striking a snowplow, an airliner was forced to
come to a premature stop after landing in Denver. At about 5:38
p.m. MST on Friday, February 2, a United Airlines Boeing 737,
operating as flight 1193 from Billings, Montana, landed on runway
26 at Denver International Airport (DEN). One of the pilots noticed
a snowplow on the runway and the crew used maximum braking power
and full use of the thrust reversers to bring the aircraft to a
complete stop.
