El Dorado airport due for crash landing…
Airport serving Colombian capital Bogota slated for demolition in 2012.
After months of indecision, Colombia’s government announced on Thursday the planned demolition of Bogota’s El Dorado International Airport, scheduled to begin in 2012. Built in 1959 and featuring in every self-respecting drug smuggling movie made ever since, the airport’s foundations are not compatible with a proposed modernization project for the site, thus another structure must be built, reported newspaper EL Espectador.
