Well about two minutes ago an aircraft declared an emergency and landed at SDL. I do not know the nature of the problem but I think it was a gear-up landing. The pilot requested that the runway be foamed but the tower informed him that the SDL FD policy is not to foam the runway and that they would follow him and then foam if anything caught fire! What kind of BS is that?
Anyway I walked out the back door here at work just in time to see the trucks rolling. The pilot said he was aiming for a landing point about 1/4 ofthe way down 21. As of now (3:20pm Local) the runway is closed for what they're estimating will be about an hour.
No word on injuries/deaths but with only an hour closure I'd guess everyone is "ok."
The news copters are already on scene so check the news tonight local folks.
I'll post more if I hear anything.
