Are they a third world country too?!
This happened in Portugal not long ago. Everybody was complaining that this could happen only in a third world country.
Foreigners in Portugal and portuguese people alike made a big fuss about having a road crossing the runway (you can see the photo in this blog, as well as a photo of Gibraltar, although located in southern europe also, I believe it is still a British territory and also has a road crossing a runway).
Well, what if northern europe has the same problems? It seems this, like any accident, can happen anywhere.

big LOL!
Eh? A pretty myopic view to assume it could only happen in a third world country.
Are there like signals or something that tell drivers when not to cross? It would be my luck to be coming in for a landing and some nitwit would wrongly decide he could "beat the plane".
It happens all the time over here, but with trains. At least the train usually wins in that situation...

shyha: what if it were in Poland?
bent: national sport - everything foreign is better, drives me crazy
tacit: fortunately the plane was parked and not moving
carrie: in Gibraltar they have a traffic light, we don't have anything but a stop sign (nobody really cares about those in most of europe)and it seems Denmark has nothing, any of the three airports can be classified as a small air strip, the major airports are a lot different obviously
Dcver, can't happen here. We don't have the materials to waste. Got to save, save, save...but I must admit, we've had some amusing things happening re: airstrip here.
