    You're aware that LAX has four runways, right?

    I've wondered that as well...would they do a patch job or a full-fledged re-pave?

    Yep, and I even know that they're all parallel! LAX has a lot of night movements, though, with all the Pacific flights going back West...so while I don't know if being out one runway would result in delays galore, I do imagine it would affect overall airport efficiency. Different, longer taxi routes, longer lineups, etc.

    I remember watching an Eastern Airlines DC-8 have to land at JFK with one side of wheels not descended. Nice view of it from the tower.

    Lots of sparks/flames the whole way down 31L.

    Believe the runway was out for at least a day.

    Didn't make the news though.. :D

    I would suspect the runway surface is ripped up pretty good from the video clips I seen, all the lock brake landing incidents I have seen in the past did a pretty good job tearing up runways when the wheel hubs makes contact with runway surface.

    Did anyone check the NOTAM for LAX? it would list how long the runway will be out for.
