Well practiced training scenario for airline crews. Planned arrival into SNA, but an aircraft issue requires a divert to LAX. SNA has a 5700 ft runway. LAX has four runways the longest of which is 12000 ft.

That's impressive. Speaking of room to spare, I noticed when flying out of COS a few years back that they, too, had a couple miles' worth of runway and then some.
