Comment thread "Runway shortened by Lava" for Goma International Airport

Comments 1 to 2 of 2 in the thread "Runway shortened by Lava" (Goma International Airport):

A 2002 volcanic eruption nearby sent a lava stream over the north portion of the runway. The south portion of 18/26 is still operational.

In the satellite picture, it looks like there is a very large airplane with no way to get to the runway. I wonder if it's really cut off, or if they taxi it over the lava flow?
