I still don;t see why the Toronto Authorities cannot fill the
gully with the City's rubbish.
No use stating that the suggestion is rubbish, give facts.

Would would you use to replace it? That airport used to be a long way north west
of the city, long before the wide body jet liners. It sits at the junction of
two major highways, one of them being the busiest stretch of road in the
country. The city has developed around the airport, so they are stuck with the
room they have. Many thousands of flights have landed and taken off there over
the years without overshooting the runway. There is the required buffer zone
past the end of the runway. The alternative is to have no barrier to stop them
from crashing through onto the highway, which would be even more dangerous. It
would be much easier for pilots to touch down closer to the beginning of the
runway instead of coming in at higher speeds and touching down more than half
way down.

Oh, come on. It's hardly a deep gully, for a start. If you think *that* runway
is a problem, what would you do about an airport like, say, Madeira?

Why do people have to spit? That ruined "Titanic" for
me, the spitting. The iceberg couldn't come soon enough
once I saw that.

Point taken, but take Toronto Airport problems and multiply them by x20 and
you have
London Airport Heathrow (LHR)...
