"Southwest Airlines, the dominant carrier at Midway Airport, said Saturday that it anticipates operating at a reduced rate that allows only a dozen departing flights every hour. Its normal operations allow more than 25 departures an hour."
-Emphasis added
When I was a kid—we’re talking jr. high school here—Midway, on Chicago’s south side—was the busiest airport in the world. After O’Hare opened Midway fell out of the big carriers’s favor and was used mainly for freight and private aviation for 15 or 20 years, whereupon the terminal was rebuilt and the airlines started moving back in. Seems like it’s up and running now (although nowhere near as busy as O’Hare).
Meanwhile, I don’t want to seem paranoid or anything but it is somehow a little unsettling to see how much damage can be done by one guy with a match.
