LaGuardia in NYC is bad too - the end of the runway is in the water. I remember being on an L1011 coming into LaG, and I thought it was an awfully big plane to be going into LaG. SO I asked the stewardess, "can a plane this big land at LaGuradia". Her response - "I think so". real comforting.
It's taking off not landing that's the problem at La Guardia. It was specifically the requirement for a widebody to be able to takeoff from La Guardia with and engine failure that forced McDonnel Douglas to add the tail engine to what had been a twin engined design for the DC-10.
