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.
