Spookily coming on Friday the 13th and during the same week as the
Cory Lidle disaster, A-Rod's private jet overran a runway at Bob Hope Airport. Everyone on board was fine and damage to the plane was minor. Here's the cool part:
"The twin-engine jet was stopped by the Engineered Materials Arresting System, a 200-foot-long stretch of pavement injected with air bubbles designed to collapse under the weight of an aircraft as large as a Boeing 737 jet traveling as fast as 50 knots, airport spokesman
Victor Gill said.
"It came to a pretty quick stop," Gill said."
