SAVANNAH, Ga. – engers aboard planes at the Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport in Georgia may not realize they're rolling over generations of history buried 6 feet under one of the runways.

The gravestones of Richard and Catherine Dotson, along with those of their family Daniel Hueston and John Dotson, remain undisturbed today, according to aviation officials. Richard and Catherine Dotson's gravestones are on Runway 10, the airport's most active runway.

The families wished for the graves to remain in place when westward extension of this east to west runway was required during World War II," the airport states on its website.

Their graves are the only ones in the world embedded in an active 9,350-foot runway serving thousands of general and commercial aviation operations yearly, according to the airport.

"We consider the Dotsons to be part of our airport family, and we’re happy to have markers honoring them as an important part of our history," airport spokeswoman Lori Lynah told FOX Weather. "It’s always interesting to hear about pilots and engers alike who’ve heard about the graves and want to learn more about their story."

What a way to honor them... 😊


I still prefer cremation though, just get my remains cremated and throw the ashes in the River.

The story is not too clear.
How did they died ?
Were they buried at that spot before construction of the runway ?
Is it normal?
Whites with weird doings.

they were probably residential areas or cemetery before the airport came to be. The family may have refused either selling the place or relocating them just to immortalize them. We have heard of cases like that before

I know one country that some people will not fly through that airport because of fears of a possible crash due to the disturbance of the sleep of the buried ones.

pls read the article

Too many people with comprehension challenge on this Forum.

It was a burial ground belonging a private citizens with buried family and some other people before the placed was acquired by the airport to build extra runways.

While the place is no longer used as burial ground, those that were already buried there before the construction of the runway are still underneath.

Chai..

Mrchibobo:
I don't understand dead people dey greet

Greet when used in instance like this means something that welcome you or something you see first.
But it was wrongly used here because most people don't even know the graves are there.

Peter Obi go criticize them and FG.
Useless man of the year.
