How in hell can they miss a 'big hole in the main runway' up to the point where they have to cancel flights? Not that I'm not grateful that my plane wasn't the one that found it...

Might have been from the weight of all those sex toys and movies in your luggage? Huh. :D

So I guess you'll just have to stay until they repair it and thoroughly test it for safety.

Wow. Yes, that boggles the mind. I wonder, how did they actually FIND this hole? Hopefully, not by anything too damaging!

My flight out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin was delayed Thursday because one of the earlier jets on the south runway had hit a wild turkey. Fortunately, the plane took off okay, but apparently there was enough....stuff....left on the runway that we and the six other planes in our lineup had to trundle on over to the east runway. Glad I missed the view of the...debris.
