The runways of Sao Paulo’s airport are infamous for their short length, tricky approach, and slippery conditions.

It’s also terrifying to land so close to the city amid endless rows of rooftops. In 2007, a plane overshot the runway and hit a petrol pump and warehouse. It was a deadly crash that killed 187 people on board and 12 on the ground.
