Answer 1

^^^^^^^^^

check them 2 answers, look how we get inside info nah!!!

Answer 2

and then about 1:30 pm it was closed again because a cargo plane had to land with only one engine.  thankfully that went ok, plane landed safely and taxied to holding with no problems.

and then about 2:30  somebody driving a unit that services the aircraft, ended up hitting that aircraft.  

So lets say that today was one of those busy days at my office.

=========

this is not normal, and the runway is never closed for very long, as there are too many people to send reports to after.

actually, i asked who sent out the memo that it was ok to send defective aircraft to trinidad on friday.

Yeah trish, that was the 2:30 incident!! never a dull moment at the nations airport.

Answer 3

Yes...an american airlines had and emergency landing. Because teh aircraft was overweight and the speed of the landing the brake froze up. There was smoke etc...from this and one of the engines also.The runway was closed. It has now re opened about and hr ago and business as usual.
