So your runway isn't long enough, what do you do?

These are pictures of an international airport runway in the Maderia Islands of Portugal. The runway is about 1 3/4 miles long and over 1/2 mile of that is the "bridge" part of the runway. There are 180 pillars in the bridge and each pillar is as high as a 23 floor building. Check out the cars parked below the runway! More on the Madeira Airport at Wikipedia.
