Southwest Airlines Glitch, Private Flight Emergency Landing

A computer glitch at Southwest Airlines delayed over 2,200 flights, prompting a host to fly a private aircraft to Nashville instead. During departure from Gillespie Airport, the host and his wife witnessed a Cessna crash-land and nose over on the runway directly in front of them. Despite the trauma of the crash and subsequent heavy turbulence, the flight was completed successfully.
