There was a plane crash in Brazil (last month). It was raining. The jet was big and fast, and the runway wasn’t as long as it should have been.

Except for the rain part, it sounds like Santa Monica Airport. One of these days, a jet will land and keep going off the end of the runway.

I told you so.
