Cricketics Posted October 13, 2007 Posted October 13, 2007 We have heard about railway crossing or bus crossing or even ship crossing under the bridges. But have u ever heard about Aeroplane crossing ... ? See the picture where the vehicles wait for the aeroplane to cross the road. This is in Germany where the runway crosses a road And this is in Schiphol Airport, Amsterdam, Netherlands, where planes cross over a tunnel between terminals and runways :
King Posted October 13, 2007 Posted October 13, 2007 It's possible to escape the planes even if you miss the crossings given the size of the aircrafts.
beetle Posted October 13, 2007 Posted October 13, 2007 And these are unmaned crossings......:confused_smile:
The Outsider Posted October 13, 2007 Posted October 13, 2007 But they are automatic .... and are 100% accurate. ALL railway crossings in the US are un manned and they shut down just 10-15 seconds before the train arrives. I wouldn't go with the 100% figure there. Yeah, they are accurate but accidents do happen at times because some moron coded the damn software and another moron did no test it properly. Heck, there was a major mistake with inches and centimetres for a space flight!!!:D
Mandrake Posted October 13, 2007 Posted October 13, 2007 Imagine this kind of crossing back home in India...many would love to hop aboard at the intersection in case they missed the flight at the airport:D
fineleg Posted October 13, 2007 Posted October 13, 2007 Imagine this kind of crossing back home in India...many would love to hop aboard at the intersection in case they missed the flight at the airport:D Zimbly super! LOL!

Gaurav Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 Very sexy :two_thumbs_up: Very vulnerable to terrorist attack though?
Ram Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 Very sexy :two_thumbs_up: Very vulnerable to terrorist attack though? Precisely. That is a soft yet high profile target.
beetle Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 On my way to school ....there is sign board that says....give way to aircrafts:hysterical: The road is in the flight path and the planes fly quiet low......
prateik Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 we have the same thing in goa ... its on the way to bogmalo beach ... dont know if its still the same way ,... we had to wait at times to go there . and then the runway would be really hot , could see the mirage :D
beetle Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 >could see the mirage or was it the feni....?:D
beetle Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 How many people have seen guys with 2 wheelers bend the 2 wheeler and take it under the barrier to crossover in India..................? People keep crossing over the line (specially with cycles ) going under the barrier till the last minute.....:whatchutalkingabout
