Are you kidding?? LHI is famous for it's plane crash history. It's one of the best things about the place.

I heard that's why they put a mountain either side of the runway to induce plenty of turbulence on final - plus zero over-run area so errant pilots would end up in the ocean... Makes for awesome viewing from the terminal!
