What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Narrative: on Tuesday, February 20, 1996, at approximately 1515 local time Continental airlines flight 1156, a Boeing 737, (N33202), arrived at Washington National Airport from greensboro, NC. The aircraft landed on runway 36.. During the landing and roll out the two inboard main tires blew out. The aircraft stopped approximately 50 yards pass the departure end of the runway and about 75 feet to the left of centerline. The passengers were deplaned through L2 door and bussed to the terminal. A visual inspection of the aircraft revealed no structural damage. After the aircraft was recovered and towed to the hangar, a Continental maintenance crew from newark, NJ removed and replaced all tires, wheels and brakes. They also tested by non-destructive means, all critical areas of the landing gear system. The landing gear system was then functionally tested. During a test of the anti skid system, one channel on the master control box failed to test correctly. This was the channel that controlled the inboard brakes.
