Darwin missed it by thatmuch.GIG HARBOR, Wash. - Two men are in hot water after taking a joyride on the runway of a Pierce County airport Saturday night.
...
A security guard at the airport says the Pontiac Grand Am must have been going at least 100 miles an hour down the runway.
"They drove their car to the south end of the runway. They then drove their car to the north end at an extremely high rate of speed," said Darlington.
That's when something went wrong and the driver lost control.
The car went flying off the tarmac, through a field for roughly 100 yards, then flew about 60 feet in the air, slammed into the side of a hill, and rolled to the bottom.
