[Because there is no room for a new airport in San Diego,] Englund has proposed a solution that’s both more dramatic and elegant: Build a giant oil rig-style floating platform permanently moored 10 or so miles off the coast of San Diego. It would be three square miles and afford plenty of room for two long and very safe runways. To move the plan along he and his partners have even put in a first-of-its-kind claim with federal government for “airport rights” to a 40,000 sq mile swath of the Pacific. (via Crazy Or Brilliant?

I can’t wait for Die Hard V, where John McClane has to stop terrorists from blowing up a plane AND sinking the runway into the Pacific Ocean.
