A shocking DM in-depth investigation will be published soon.

And all those people crossing an active runway with no high viz jacket on, how can that be possible with today's health and safety

[RedhillPhil]

When I was traincrew based at Cambridge we used to have to call the control tower at Oakington before passing by with a freight train - didn't apply to passenger trains.

Reputedly the only airfield in the world where there's been an instance of a cow getting killed by a train on the runway.

Wait till they learn that Clacton International* Airstrip has a walkway used by pedestrians going right across the runway!

International cos it's by the coast and thus provides easy access for any illegal immigrant with a C152

Sydney airport used to have a train line crossing the main N/S runway.

Then, one poor-viz day, the holes in the swiss cheese lined up and a DC3 on take-off collided with a freight locomotive crossing that runway.
Guess who came off second best?

Aircraft is forced to abandon first landing due to strong winds at Portugal's Madeira Airport.
A pilot struggled to land a passenger jet in strong winds at Madeira Airport in Portugal on Thursday.

Footage shows the Transavia Boeing plane flying towards the runway before the pilot suddenly lifts the nose of the plane.

The pilot continued to fly the aircraft and then made another attempt at landing.

Almost worthy of the Daily Mail, but this was in the Telegraph, whose journalistic standards seem to be giving the Mail some competition.
