JT, one situation might involve an aircraft entering the runway about 1000 feet in when you're at about 150 feet... Of course, the situation is incredibly unlikely to occur, and there are a lot of 'what ifs', but some of the world's 'big' historical accidents were a result of the almost impossible eventuating and the crew dealing with it as best they can.

Regardless - you're right - it's not a noose you'd stick your neck in. Just thought I'd pose the question to see what people's ideas were!
