ok, the longest runway is 13000' feet, or about 13 miles. the shortest is about 7 miles, give or take a mile. how the BLEEP do you overshoot that?

ok, I made a mistake. i forgot the exact figure that a mile was, but yes, it isn't 13 miles, but it isn't 2.5 either. 1 mile is about 1700 feet, so 13000 feet is roughly 7/8 miles. my point still stands on how you can overshoot that length of runway. did they forget to apply the brakes or something?

13000 ft ~ 2.5 Miles
But math is hard for some people...

1 meter = 3 feet
1 mile = 1.6k meters
therefore 13k feet = 2.5 miles.
I can't believe nobody has said this...
