“Our pilots train for these situations and they handled the situation expertly. The crew taxied the aircraft off the runway and close to the terminal where the tires deflated due to heat buildup from the rapid stop on the runway, as designed. Our guests deplaned and made their way safely into the terminal. We’re deploying another aircraft to Nashville to transport our guests to Seattle; they’re scheduled to arrive later tonight.
