Would a second runway make much difference? The limiting factor is usually the airport's overall fire cover being reduced below minimum levels whilst dealing with an emergency.

Jet Jockey. Fair enough; there may have been extenuating circumstances, but I bet the pilot would have preferred a smooth touchdown! I've never seen such a big bounce from a 747.
