wow. That is one big last second adjustment over the embankment. I kept thinking "where's the runway?!"

Yah. That is one of those "why the heck did they build the runway there?!" moments.

Probably fine for DC-3s, but damn scary for a modern jet!

I've landed there. Wasn't flying the plane; I was just cargo.

Yep, it is a wild landing. I think it is rated as one of the top ten hairy landing fields in the world.
