Boarding
On January 1, 2019, Southwest passengers began boarding flight 1310 unknowing that it would ultimately lead to a disaster. Boarding occurred around 11:30 AM and pushback was expected to be at 12:00 PM. Pushback was delayed due to customers of other airlines noticing ice build up on the vertical stabilizer, and the engine cowlings. At this point, the Pilots had already made their pre-flight checks, checking the engines, tires and fuselage and are already inside the cockpit, starting up their APU.
