The Citation was ready for takeoff on runway 22 threshold when ATC instructed the crew to expedite the takeoff run due to an emergency on flight WN422 of Southwest Airlines' Boeing 737. Shortly after takeoff, while flying at low altitude, the Citation stalled, crashed on the runway and burst into flames. Both occupants were killed. The Southwest 737 was eventually diverted to Houston-George W. Bush airport were it landed safely. The emergency on the 737 was due to a high fuel temperature indication.
