Why Runway Overruns Still Happen
About this video
Runway overruns still happen on modern aircraft with modern brakes. Contaminated surfaces, late touchdown, reverse thrust limits, and approach instability stack faster than most passengers realize. This is about the physics of stopping a heavy jet — energy, friction, and the small decisions that leave zero margin at the far end of the runway.
