Question

In the article, you read that "The Gimli base had no control tower or fire trucks, and was being

used as a racetrack." What physical detail from the story supports why this being a racetrack

could be a serious problem for the pilots?

Answer 1

Due to its circular path.

Step-by-step explanation:

A racetrack could be a serious problem for the pilots because the racetrack has circular structure not straight which made a big problem for the pilots. for landing of a plane the pilots needs a straight path but the racetrack has circular path which makes a serious problem for the pilots. In the Gimli base, there had no control tower or fire trucks so the pilots used racetrack for landing which was very dangerous.
