Regarding the statement, "It is Chicago's second largest airport": Could this be clarified? I assume this referes to number of flights and/or number of passengers, rather than physical size. For a commercial airport, Midway is among the smallest (physically). -- Gyrofrog (talk) 05:30, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

It would probably be better phrased as "Chicago's original airport" or something to that effect than to try to make volume or size comparisions to O'Hare. It was built years before O'Hare International. --66.82.9.41 06:19, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I should have been more clear. Actually I meant in comparison to the "smaller" airports that are mentioned. I didn't check out the Rockford/Chicagoland airport. But the Gary airport has a longer runway than any of those at Midway, so in that sense Gary is a "larger" airport, that's what I was getting at. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 07:23, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The crash that has happened at Midway (12/08/2005) should entail a serious discusion of nets (ala aircraft-carrier) or possible new runway runoffs that are similar to truck runoffs....... (using new material that absorbs the mass of a huge jet landing gear as it rolls.....) running into houses and killing people...... shame..... dskelly1@cox.net

Reporting of Dec. 8 Accident

I've removed the following two lines from the Incidents section.

Preliminary results of the investigation showed that the pilot of the Southwest Airlines jet violated company policy and deployed the plane's autobraking system. [1] As of December 15 2005, the National Transportation Safety Board investigation was continuing.

I think that only the simple facts should be listed in this general article on the airport. More speculative and time sensitive information should be directed to the developing article on the investigation. -- Mindfrieze 18:42, 17 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

>100,000 passengers on 60,947 flights

Midway Airport earned the title of "World's Busiest" with over 100,000 passengers riding on 60,947 flights. Midway held that title for three decades until O'Hare claimed it in 1962.

I know planes were small back then, but this number relationship would almost infer that there were hardly any passengers, just pilots! -newkai | talk | contribs 21:29, 22 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
