Jet lands at wrong airport, is too big to leave
- larrys 13y agoSolution: My guess is that with the money involved here Boeing will simply build a temporary runway and increase the length. A google maps view shows plenty of land that could be used for that. http://goo.gl/maps/Y3gy3 http://goo.gl/maps/Y3gy3

- larrys 13y agoI heard that later in the day. I guess an example of newspapers first information coloring what the true situation is. The runway needed takes into account many factors (weather, load, fuel considerations etc.) Obviously it was entirely possible to get this plane up in the air. But knowing that upfront wouldn't have made it as interesting a story.
