• There seems to be an up tick in Political commentary in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site we know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religiours commentary out of the fourms.

    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.

It is.

When the airport was built, engineers knew it would sink as the ground compacted, so the terminal is on jacks to allow it to compensate.

However, after the airport opened, it began sinking far faster than anyone had expected, although the rate seems to have slowed down to about what was predicted within the last few years.
