Rules comment was just that, too broad to be a guess.

Not Greenland

Not Vietnam.

And we need the ICAO code for the airport the flight landed at. Not the country.

Re: train -- it's water under the bridge.

Bridge Washout in Topeka KS. May 2007 (http://www.arizonarails.com/washout.html)
A bridge inundated by floodwaters collapsed under the weight of an empty Union Pacific coal train near the Grant Avenue gate on the U.S. Army's Fort Riley base on May 6. Military traffic was being rerouted around the base's western gates as the railroad cleaned up the wreck. Fort Riley is west of Topeka, Kan. The bridge collapsed as the lead two diesels rolled over the bridge, with the rear end of the lead unit falling onto the second locomotive, which was nearly cut in half by the weight of the locomotive and ended up partially in the water. The engineer and conductor were both taken to Geary County Community Hospital with minor injuries, Topeka's ABC News 49 reported.

In #4706, the identification as the White House, DC, was accepted, even though the image was stated to be the Women's Military Service Memorial in Arlington National Cemetery. They are two miles apart and in different states. They are as far apart as Mrs Queen's abode (Buckingham Pal) and St Paul's Cath.

I know it's water under the dam, but not close enough IMO.
