• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

Was watching one of the classic Jacques Cousteau specials from the early 1970's. This particular episode about diving the Truk lagoon wrecks from WWII.

Anyways, at the 12:28 mark of the video, I was surprised to see a Continental 727 landing on a crushed coral runway at what I presume is a pre-concrete Chuuk International airport.

It looks rather tenuous at best. At first I thought the jetliner was putting down on the sandy beach!
