Not sure that I haven't seen an airplane go down like this.  Awful

Concrete arrows, beacons, and infrastructure from a century ago are hiding all across the United States. Once the countries largest navigational system, it now hides in some of the most desolate regions of the country.

Science Channel's "What on Earth?" series did a really good segment on this.  A lot of what they found was in relatively isolated, middle-of-nowhere areas.

Interesting ATC audio here.  F-15 busted the boom off a KC-46 [of course - they seem to be cursed] and tried to land at Fresno.  Fresno had to string a landing cable but the Eagle bolstered and diverted to a Navy field.

That's probably on the F-15 pilot.  I've seen tankers lose their boom noozles, but not that far back along the boom.

@damon may know off of the top of his head, but I'm under the impression that 737 tires are something like 220 psi...

205psi is the normal max for all the tires for the 737s.
