BBC News has a follow-up article to the circular airport runway proposal:
Last month we published a video arguing the case for circular runways at airports, as part of a series called World Hacks. It took off and went viral. The video has had more than 36 million views on Facebook and generated heated debate on social media - including within the aviation community. Many people are sceptical about the concept.
So we decided to hand-pick some of the top concerns and put them straight to the man proposing the idea: Dutch engineer Henk Hesselink. This is what he had to say.

He provided a circular argument of we need circular runways because we need circular runways.

Isn't it better, though, than providing a circular runaway, '56 or not?
