Anyone seen this?

Now, here's something you don't see every day!
New airport runway on the Portuguese island of Madeira. The airport's runway has a length of 2781 meters, (9000 ft) of which 1000 meters are supported by 180 pillars, each pillar 50 meters in length
(about 17 floors). The runway is designed to accommodate 747s. Note the cars parked below the runway.
It's a bit like landing on an aircraft carrier. The 2nd picture best
shows how high it is

I imagine that would be quite scary parking under it though.

Some people (Airbus) believe it's more efficient to use larger aircraft anf make fewer flights. Other people (Boeing) believe that faster more efficient aircraft are better. The people who designed that obviously took the opinion of Airbus
