Terrifying video and cockpit audio captured the moment a United Airlines flight slipped off the runway and rolled onto the grass, forcing passengers to evacuate.
The audio transcript and clip were shared on Wednesday in a trove of National Transportation Safety Board documents about the United Boeing 737-8 MAX that veered off the tarmac while landing at the George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston.
Nearly 160 passengers were aboard that United Airlines flight 2477 from Memphis, Tennessee, when surveillance footage captured the aircraft struggling to slow on the wet runway before sliding into the grass.
Similarly, cockpit voice recordings captured a tense exchange unfolding between the captain and first officer. They were in shock and couldn't believe that this had happened.
