Careful, people! Back around 1979, when a new 15L/33R was constructed in JED, a number of aircraft tried, and some succeeded, in taking off on the closed 15R/33L, due to very confusing local procedures and runway markings...I think a DC-8 lost a landing gear to a ditch across the closed runway. This sounds like an accident waiting for the tired or unaware...possibly like the stupid "closed" runway at Taipai with active runway lights lit for years, misread during a driving rainstorm. Sam
