Oops! Right State, wrong airport; Southwest gives passengers a detour

January 13, 2014

Lots of raised eyebrows after a Southwest Airlines Boeing 737-700 somehow ended up at the wrong Missouri airport Sunday evening.

Here’s a video clip from the BBC with some passengers saying there was a very hard landing followed by a smell of burning rubber, after which they were told they had landed at Taney County Airport, some seven miles from their planned destination of Branson Airport.

FAA and NTSB are investigating.
