5 Most Extrmely Dangerous Airplane Runways

1.Wellington,New zealand:

At this new zealand airport things can get pretty scare due to their hair raisingly short runway and the fact that the landing strip see constant windy conditions.The runway at wellington is short at 6,647 ft,Which is barely enough for larger aircraft,and the strong crosswinds caused by nearby cook strait can make landing there a wild experience.

2.Saba Landing strip,Juancho E. Yrausquin Airport:

This is a terrifyingly small piece of earth to land a plane.Juancho E. Yrausquin Airport is the only airport in saba,An island in the caribbean,well-known to pilots because of the dangers of landing and taking off there.one side has high hills wile all the others drop in to sea.The runway length is a bone-chilling 396m,only allowing small aircraft and helicopters to land and without even an air traffic control center.

3.The Airport at Lukla,Nepal

People wanting to climb mount Everest know this place very well.Renamed in January 2008 as Tenzing-Hillary Airport,this airport is where most everest climbers land to start their Journey.The runway is half a kilometer long,20m wide and has an incline at a staggering 20 percent! A 700 M drop at one end and a mountain at the other,as well as the altitude,make this another risky place for pilots.there have been five recorded plane accidents.

4.Princess Huliana Airport,St Martin:

                                 

The short runway means that large jets have to fly low to land and beachgoers at the nearby maho beach are often treated to an upclose and personal view of a big plane.signs are placed nearby so no unfortunate spotter would be blown back by any plane's powerful engines.planes must also clear decent-size fence and pass over a road just before hitting the runway

5.Madeira Airport,Portugal:

Madeira is a small island off the coast of portugal,which needed an airport capable of landing commercial-size aircraft to boost tourism.The original runway was only 5000ft long,too short for even the most experienced pilots.Engineers extended the runway to more than 9000ft by building a massive girder bridge atop 200 pillars.the bridge,which itself is over 3000ft long and 590feet wide,is strong enough to handle the weight of 747s and similar jets.All the same,it is quite nerve-wracking   when the big jets touch down on this structure
