Default Planes at Lukla are supposed to crash while landing, not taking off

Looks like the two guys on the footpath next to the runway get hamburgerized

Been to Lukla...did the Everest Trek in the 70s...walked in (took 6 weeks) from
Lamosangu...did the trek to 20,000 feet and trekked to Lukla and caught a plane
out...very crude!...nothing as elaborate as pavement.

The 'runway' has a slope to it...only one direction to get in...the opposite
direction to get out.

Good times...forty years ago...
