But i'm not a scientist, so go ahead, execute me with your formulas and sources on the internet that prove that actually asphalt bends and splits under weight and the natural ground foundation below it will shift causing everything to rip open above.
Ummm - because the regulations were changed
after these aircraft landed?
Additionally, the new rules say wide-bodies can
still land - but only if they will be dismantled on-site and not take off again.
And are made by an agency charged with both transportation and protecting the environment. The noise-pollution difference between approach thrust and take-off thrust may play a role. Not everything is about "forces."
