But not this one. Not this one. Without the wall, it's likely many more would be alive.

- munchler 2y agoYes, this one. Just like the others, this airport had a dangerous obstacle at a considerable distance from the runway. It's not a design goal of these runways to make such a landing survivable.
- knifie_spoonie 2y agoExcept this dangerous obstacle did not need to be there. It could and should have been mounted on frangible posts, not on solid concrete.
- Xixi 2y agoIndeed, this one. But was it known to the pilots? The other dangerous obstacles you mention tend to be known and visible, not hidden and unexpected (against best practices). The pilots didn't have to land there, they could have attempted a US Airways Flight 1549 rather than aiming at a piece of reinforced concrete.
