Comment on Anon questions North Korea
thespcicifcocean@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoyou can’t land planes on a railway. the interstate system in the US also doubles as emergency runways for aircraft. It’s actually baked into the system on purpose.
nevermind, turns out that “fun fact” I was about to tell you all is a myth, according to the DOT.

In Germany some sections of the Autobahn do double as runways for aircraft. The middle section has a dividing wall that can be removed if necessary. Afaik they are supposed to be used during war. I don’t know if they are still being used except to test if new fighter jets are able to land and start again.
