Not at all ESG!! VERY sorry to hear about your Net connection.

To recap: it was related that the ravine was still open because environmentalists had required it, even after the last a/c to go into it. Links to that report and pics were posted.

The link to Engineered Materials Arresting System was posted but no airport would reduce the length of it's available runway to provide such a space. It was moi who then suggested that the ravine could be bridged to maintain it for whatever silly creatures want to live in in and then the EMAS could go across the top.

Overall, the thread gets more interesting from about Page 17 or 18!
