"Kriss-Kross"ed brake cables the "Daddy-Mac" in Jackson Hole Runway Excursion

The NTSB has indicated preliminary inspections of the United Airlines Airbus A320 that slid off the runway at Jackson Hole, Wyoming last Tuesday night show that it had its left main gear wheel speed tachometer wires crossed incorrectly between the inboard and outboard wheels. This configuration could easily lead to improper anti-skid usage by the aircraft. Supposedly, both main gear units were replaced earlier in the month.

The flight from Denver exited the runway edge and ended up in 5 feet of snow severely damaging the both engines (as seen in the photo from Jackson Hole News&Guide) Apparently, damage to the airframe is nominal. While the NTSB investigation continues, Jackson Hole Airport officials wonder how many more aircraft they'll have to yank out of ditches as this is the second commercial flight to exit the runway in 2 weeks.
