hmmm....any engineers here??? can invent a device which can burn the plane into asses in the event that the plane is about to crash....thus it wont endanger the public......may be can invent a giant airbag which cover the plane if it crash.
I saw our large airplane take-off and land from my flat.....they do not need long runway.
Their engine is powerful enuf to take-off in short distance and the design of the braking system is good, just landed and in about a short distance, this plane juz stop...amazing
Singapore govt spend so much money on military and home protection services.....they can afford to do watever they want. Offshore airbase, no problem. Anyway, when singapore gets its stealth fighter to replace the F-5's.....expect the plane to be very very quiet......and it's cool too.
