How safe is the boeing 737 700 from continental airlines?
On January 16, 2006, a contract mechanic working for Continental Airlines was sucked into the engine of a Boeing 737-500 and killed. The incident took place at El Paso International Airport. On March 7, 2008 a Continental Boeing 737-300 from Houston slid off the runway into the grass shortly after landing in Columbus, Ohio. There were no injuries. The accident was caused by poor visibility, due to a major winter storm bringing over a foot of snow to the Columbus area.
