Recently, a United Airlines jet encountered a concerning incident at George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston. The captain reported that the brakes felt less effective than usual and the plane experienced violent shaking in the brake pedals just before the Boeing 737 Max slid off a taxiway. This unsettling event was detailed in a preliminary report released by the National Transportation Safety Board.
As the pilots descended through clouds and caught sight of the runway, uncertainty loomed regarding the ground conditions. While the captain perceived the runway as dry, the co-pilot had a different perspective, believing it appeared wet. The captain intended to decelerate gradually upon landing, but as the plane approached the end of the runway, it veered onto a taxiway.
