True, they should just expand Haneda. Closer to the city and plenty of bay to expand into. That's what Hong Kong is doing, doubling the size of the airport north of HKG in the waters.

"Just 19 minutes before the curfew..."

I stopped reading this nonsense there.

Heck... if you could not read the serial numbers on the lights passing over the departure end of the runway, you weren't carrying enough freight on the good old 727.

Firstly, the quote here is misleading (due to translation issues perhaps)? The aircraft lifted off 85m from the runway end, still on the paved surface (not beyond it, in the grass as the original quote seems to indicate). Yes that is still ~200m beyond where it should've lifted off, but the tires were not dragged through the grass. If we can wait a few weeks I'm sure information about the cause will be made available.
