"More than half of U.S. commercial airports don't have a 1,000-foot margin
at the end of a runway, an overrun area the federal government says is
needed as a safety zone, according to a new report."

"Part of the problem is that airports were built in congested urban areas
and have no room to lengthen their runways."

Repeat after me: "THE AIRPORT WAS THERE FIRST!!". Most airports were built
out in "the sticks" decades ago. In the ensuing decades, urban areas grew
up around the airports.

Too bad no contact address given so the story could be rebutted.
