    Tire blowouts are hardly a gear failure.

    That's like having a flat tire in your car and saying the wheel fell off.

      it made me laugh when they said what they gave each passenger; a drink card worth $5.

        For the price they paid for the ticket, I'm sure the drink ticket is more than enough.

          Looks like a -500?

          Even so 4 tires is a lot to have blown out, considering for a 737 thats only 6 wheels, and having 4 of them, which means all the main gears were out leaving only the nose wheel intact.

              I actually heard someone saying those exact words on the news, can't remember which channel.

                    It's just that the media is in a frenzy to show anything bad about an airline right now. Rising prices, bag charges, safety... Yadda yadda...
