Something that should clearly need done during construction. Got to wonder about nether else now and the lack of real inspections.

Makes you wonder how they missed it during construction of the airport surely there was a lot of digging. Living in a city that got the shite bombed out of it at the end of the war makes me a bit worried what’s under where I live and work

It's weird that this happened now since Miyazaki Airport has been around for many decades and have had thousands of planes taxi, take off and land there.

They'll be dragging some form of huge metal detector along the runway shoulders, I guess.

You have the order of events reversed. The airfield was built in 1943 as an IJA training base and subsequently bombed by the Allies.

so you are saying that the airport hasn’t been rebuilt for modern aircraft since it was bombed in the 1940s? Haha
