I was once on a plane that had a "runway incursion." Basically a tanker truck pulled onto the runway as my plane was landing in Charlotte October 1995. I remember seeing the truck pull on the run way out the window as we descended to about 50 feet from it. The pilot pulled some quick moves and took us back into the air, the best part was when he got on the intercom and told us what he thought of the tanker driver. Given that the tanker was full of jet fuel that probably would have been a long slow roasting death. As they say...the illusion of safety.
