  • @greenbow100 Taking the bus is more dangerous than flying into Tegucigalpa, you should know. No airport , bar none, with airline service can be considered dangerous because if it was, no airline would fly there.

  • ever since i saw this in the news... i never went decided to go to tegucigalpas airport.. i now go to san pedros airport its much safer...:) i go grab a bus from san pedro and go to tegucigalpa...

  • @tatercito the Lima Airport has one runway that is 70m wide by 3500m long

  • @laa1664 Nevermind...it was Aviateca...

  • If I'm not mistaken...didn't a TACA plane crash on a mountain in the 90's?

  • TONCONTIN , TEGUCIGALPA HONDURAS...IT'S KNOW ALL OVER THE WORLD TO BE THE MOST SHORTEST AND DANGEROUS INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT EVER BUILT. THEY SHOULD RECONSIDERED NOMORE LANDINGS NOR TAKE OFF AT THAT AIRPORT.

  • nice narration ! Good work !

  • this a320 landed too fast and too hight.. there`s a video on youtube that shows a A 318 landing on the middle of the runway ! U.u but i was a a318 was smaller than this one ! ! on my country ( Peru ) there`s the Jorge Chavez the measures of the runway are ! wide: 15 metters ( i guess ) per

    7.000metters ! even with those measures an A380 wouldnt land here U.u ! Sh1t xD :)

    Good luck :D

  • hmm yeah ur right that's crazy.. you really have to be skilled to land there... 1800 metters. ? is that around 5,500 feet ?? Im just trying to get an idea, I land in el monte and its only 4000 feet but then again is only a cessna not a320 .

  • 1,800 metters ! no more ! ! this airport is one of the most dangerous aiports of the world! Imagineeee ! landing at 160 knots ! with crosswind ! U.u
