Top 10 most dangerous airport runways in the world revealed

The top 10 most dangerous airport runways in the world have been revealed.

An airport with a railway track running through the middle of it, a runway with a 9,000 ft drop at the end, and a runway located on a beach all feature in the top 10.

New Zealand has two airports in the list, compiled by Underknown-INSH, while other locations include Japan, France, Greenland, and Scotland.

Scotland’s Barra International Airport’s runway is on the beach, meaning it can sometimes be impossible to land if the tide is in.

Take a look at the list to see which airport ranks at number one.

After Assad's ouster, Syrian rebel leader tightens his grip on the state
DAMASCUS/BEIRUT (Reuters) -Rebel leader Ahmad al-Sharaa's Islamist group is stamping its authority on Syria's state with the same lightning speed that it seized the country, deploying police, installing an interim government and meeting foreign envoys - raising concerns over how inclusive Damascus' new rulers intend to be. Since Sharaa's Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) group swept Bashar al-Assad from power on Sunday at the head of a rebel alliance, its bureaucrats - who until last week were running an Islamist administration in a remote corner of Syria's northwest - have moved into government headquarters in Damascus. The appointment of Mohammed al-Bashir, the head of the regional government in HTS' enclave of Idlib, as Syria's new interim prime minister on Monday underlined the group's status as the most powerful of the armed groups that battled for more than 13 years to end Assad's iron-fisted rule.
