I would have been even more nervous on this flight to the same airport!

Tegucigalpa, Honduras is a bit hairy too:

They had to remove a bit of the hillside in order to make an approach possible, and according to a pilot friend of mine, unless the wheels touch down in exactly the right position you are going off the cliff at the end!
The excitment doesn't stop when you get there - it is the current murder capital of the world!

I went to Tegucigalpa about ten years ago, it was about as moody as Glasgow on a bad night.
Didn't know it had gone to being the murder capital of the world, Caracas is pretty bad along with some Mexican cities as far as that region of the world goes.
Reading the latest news though it looks like Honduras is top of the tree followed by El Salvador! 88 murders per 100k citizens in 2011. Crazy.
The landing itself isn't anywhere near as bad for a passenger as the videos make it look.
