    Crash! OMG! Glad NBC Philly reported it for what it was an aborted take off. Glad everyone is ok. What we do for ratings.

    It's hard to take chances but sometimes it's better if you do

    If I was on an airplane that ended up like that after trying to take off, I'd consider myself to have been in a crash...

    Reportedly it was Flt 1702 to FLL on N113UW.

    If the plane did go airborne and the pilot aborted, there's a good chance he may be losing his job very soon.

    It was dark by the time I could get over there. Only place to see anything was from the parking garage, which is too far away in total darkness. I knew that by morning it would have been towed off the field
