Does it surprise anybody that they didn't "relocate" cemetary...I'm not going to be buried, but I would think that being buried on airport grounds wouldn't be that peaceful...it sure wouldn't be a great place for people to visit!

Its a good way to start a conversation with fellow pax who are afraid of flying: "See that cemetary there? When flight XXX in 1982 crashed on takeoff, they couldn't find very much left, so everything was plowed over..."
