I would hope no one was injured, no one should be on it much less standing on the runway!!

I think that is a given, it is possible for them to crash into populated areas

You know, they should seriously consider putting BRS systems on those things, as many as they are losing, might save us taxpayers some money.

Well obviously lol. It was a poor attempt at humor on my part, I'll go hide in the corner now
