    - Sir, ma'am. You must move your vehicle, we've been receiving complaints.
    - ... (inaudible due to airplane flying overhead)
    - No sir, it's not about people minding their own business, you are endangering air traffic. You are literally parked on the runway.

    Airports need to face serious consequences for such incidents, including criminal prosecutions. Otherwise it's just a matter of time a real disaster will happen
