Oh - and I presume whatever number you conjour up, we will have to clear all taxiways out that far as well - since a taxiing aircraft there would have caused the same result...
You made it clear your point many times already, it's the same "should not crash in first place, hence ...". Well I don't agree with that.
All the airport area, ground, etc should be made free of obstacles for as much as possible, and allow unobstructed acess to emergency veicles.
Taxing aircraft is different - they don't slide for kilometers.
I'm sure a reccomendation about eliminating rough areas will be present in the accident report.
