Photo of the Moment: This is Not an Airline Incident

Just a clarification: I'm not the Black Iris. I'm just stealing his titles.

Story of the picture: In the country/territory of Gibraltar (Jabal Tarek), the airport's only runway intersects with the main street in the country, so every time a plane is taking off or landing traffic on the street has to be stopped.


This photo says it all.




If this was Jordan the cars won't stop but may try to drive around the plane instead.

That's the craziest thing I have ever seen. Pretty cool.

I agree, totally insane. Imagine a guy coming late for dinner, "Sorry for being late, but it's all these planes taking off"

And the guy with the black BMW would be playing chicken with the jet and honking indignantly.

I find it inappropriate being late because of some airplane taking off!

Hareega said...

kinzi, LOL yes and maybe if the cop isn't watching sneak in and drive behind the jet during takeoff

Rula... that's better than the plane leaving late because of heavy car traffic
