The latest episode of the Conversation at AirSafe.com reviews two events from the week of October 19, 2009 that could have become major airline disasters. In Atlanta, a 767 landed on the taxiway instead of the runway, and in Minneapolis an airline crew stopped communicating with the outside world for over an hour while flying past its destination by well over 100 miles.
More detailed descriptions of these two incidents are in the AirSafeNews.com article from 23 October 2009. The podcast that is based on this article, which you will find below, is a bit unusual. Previous episodes of the Conversation at AirSafe.com were hosted by Dr. Todd Curtis. This show features a computer-generated narrator. We ask you to listen to the show and tell us what you think about this narrator.

Proper nouns are spoken too quickly; "Hilo" is almost unrecognizable.
