No one questions the trageic and horrific accident. But seriously asking what the status of the airport is in no way disrespectful of what has occurred.
Yep, some of us have to worry about such things as the runway status at NRT. Looks like they are using 34R, the 'B' runway, which is 7152 feet long, the wind is still quite gusty. I've seen Triples operate off the short runway, never seen a 744 on that one.
