In Chicago they said the same thing. That a American aircraft left a runway and ended up on a street. When they went to the story later in the news, they said it was at hanger and that the aircraft rolled after the "things that are placed near the wheels" to stop the aircraft from rolling were not used properly.
I had to laugh when she said "the things".
The media's definition of a chock.......the things used to prevent a aircraft from rolling off a runway
