Congonhas Airport, Brazil

The dangerous and simultaneously odd thing about this airport is the fact that it is located only five miles from the city’s downtown. As every experienced traveler knows, the most populous and big cities in the world usually construct their airports several miles away from the city’s center for safety reasons but apparently the people of São Paulo didn’t get the memo. As a result, every landing at this airport becomes a challenge in terms of safety while the pilots need strong doses of alcohol after the flight to calm themselves down.
