Same bird at ORD. Heavy fog ceiling 100 and the AAL B727 hit the approach 
lights, wiped off one or more of the landing gear and the #1 engine broke off 
the mounts. Plane then skidded 2500 feet. Small piece in the AM news that AAL 
had changed landing criteria for B727s and other older birds without 
equipment extreme low ceilings. To compound the problem, a UAL bird was 
cleared to land with the AAL partially obstructing the runway. UAL touched 
down, seen the B727 and climbed out. Amazingly little comment on TV.
