Nah, I didn't. That would be so scary to be in a plane during a problem with the plane, then having to land knowing that you could be lucky to be alive when you land.
Did you see The World's Dangerous Runways? It was Channel 5 over a year ago, and it showed you some of the weirdest runways in the world - like one's that end in water, and one that had a road in the middle of it. It was surreal, but it was a great program.
