Next time try a series post.
Yeah, the painted strip might ignite the whole LA basin.
check the video, then make your comment.
I thought I had heard everything. Now, I hear that our airport runways have flammable stripes on them. In fact our entire road system has painted stripes on them. Does dry runway or highway paint burn? Will we see terrorists dropping matches on our highways? "Hello 911, my street is on fire".
Any way you cut it, that was one of the smoothest, most grease landings on the books!
The pilot did a superb job, even though the nose tires smoked, and the wheels sparked. The nose tires didn't appear to blow. Plus the nose landing gear strut did not snap.
A flame would have to burn extremely bright and hot to ignite concrete. Even though most of the yellow or white paint used on Active Runway Center Lines are polymers with reflective materials added. The tires of landing aircraft do more wear and damage to the paint than flame and fire ever will.
