I wonder...if Fog and runway closure could lead to such unprecedented operational disruption..what is the likely scenario folowing an Airport disasater of sort?
Quite simple. Closed.

Apart from the obvious limitations to the capabilities of the airport fire / rescue services, it can be guaranteed that various rubber-neckers would be out for a look - including many members of the airport staff, particularly those of a certain ethnicity who are permitted access in their personal land cruiser/lexus/merc every day. BOTH runways closed for the duration.

Take note all those that plan the other runway as the alternate!
