But runways only work in one direction, even in good weather apparently.

"The plane initially tried to land on the airport's Runway 1, but the pilot was told to instead land on Runway 19"
It's the same runway but opposite ends - one end with a concrete block 150m from the end, the other without.

Not even sure what that means. It's one runway labelled 01 and 19 at either end.

And why do you think that was?
I dunno what's going on with you dude but this fall from grace you're going through lately isn't nice to watch.
Whatever it is that's causing this, I hope you resolve it soon <3
You tell me..but it seems quite a simple fix to the concrete block problem Vs. making runway a square 10km with zero obstacles.

"Tower, we've a double engine flameout, bird strike, request immediate landing"
"Nah go around mate, our runway isn't safe"
Are you trolling now? I'm happy to admit I've read this wrong, but from what I read this is exactly what happened. They aimed for runway 01 (I.e. flying over the concrete) and were told to abort and go to runway 19 (the runway that ended in the concrete block).
3 of your 4 posts in this thread are about me. And the same with the honey thread. You aren't even engaging in the topic, you are just weirdly following me around and providing some voiceover lol??

There's only one runway.
Keep up. It's labelled 01 one end, 19 the other end.

Dude, stop digging that hole!

It's still one runway. Doesn't matter if I put 4 on my wrist and 4765987354 at my shoulder, it's still one arm. They approached from a different direction due to the risk of the birds.

For reasons we don’t yet know, they were landing without flaps and landing gear. That makes the airspeed much much higher, and the landing speed much higher too, and causes floating down the runway as you try to bleed off that speed and get it gently onto the runway. In normal conditions, you would throttle up and go around to try again, as you see happening on a regular basis at Heathrow and other airports.
In this case, if he HAS taken a bird in the engine and was operating on reduced power or one engine then he’s tried to keep it on the ground regardless. There was an incident with a Pakistan Airlines aircraft recently where the pilots landed without the gear down due to ineptitude, but took off again and caused the engines to run out of oil as they’d been ground down through the gearboxes.
Reports say air traffic sent them round to the opposite direction of the runway due to the birds, but that’s still speculation I think.
There was a good chance this was all survivable, but a random concrete wall put paid to that when it didn’t have to be a wall at all.
It’s not the cause of the incident, but it’s definitely the cause of the deaths.
cope. I hadn't made out it was more than one runway.Yep, because you're not yourself lately. Something's up.
I don't need to engage in the topic, literally every single person in here is telling you you're wrong, what more can I add?

You wot m8? At no point in that do you say they were told to come in at a different direction on the same runway. You refer to runway 01 and runway 19.
Runway 01 and runway 19 is the same runway - it's labelled differently at each end
