There is just no room to elongate the sand pit.

Have to agree 100%.....It's evident the major safety changes & improvements that were made for safely stopping a high speed run-away down at the very end of shut-down after the Kalitta fatality ('08) and the '09 F/C crash still need more attention, although when chutes aren't deployed, bad things often happen....
