First time i went in there was at 2am with an engine fire in a twin cessna. (Red sky at night engine's alight..)
Seeing the approach the following morning i'd have just let out burn...
The FAA installed EMAS there a while back; it caught a CRJ 2 aborting due to a takeoff config warning Accident: PSA Airlines CRJ2 at Charleston on Jan 19th 2010, overran runway on takeoff
I believe there was a landslide more recently and the overrun slipped into coal country.
Given the state of the job market here i'm surprised the operators could staff a service like this...
