History Channel's Most Dangerous Airports

[Captain4242]

Anyone catch this piece yet? Pretty interesting. I've only been to 3 of the top 10 most dangerous airports in the world. I don't see what is so dangerous about St. Maarten; as a pilot, I don't care if people are hanging off the fenceline while I'm adding takeoff power. Also, not sure why Eagle (EGE) made the list while Aspen (ASE) didn't; that seems backwards to me. Other than that, I enjoyed the program...
Other thoughts??

San Diego? Really? Really?

I'd take SAN over any airport in Africa or South America any day of the week.

I like the gibraltar airport. Just seeing that piece makes me want to visit that area.

Drop San Diego. Trade Eagle for either Aspen or Telluride.

Not really sure why they chose St. Maarten, while it is interesting and perhaps even a little risky for the plane watchers on Sunset Beach, the only thing really "dangerous" about St. Maarten is that hump on the runway right in the touchdown zone, screws up an otherwise nice smooth landing if you don't know it's there!
