	"The plane had sufficient fuel to divert to Los Angeles or San Francisco that had much longer runways. The only inconvenience is that passengers on a connecting itinerary would have less convenience due to that, but that should be relatively fine. We always prioritise safety over anything else here at Golden Pacific."		"The plane had sufficient fuel to divert to Los Angeles or San Francisco that had much longer runways.

			This incident cost around 1 million USD to repair the airport walls and around $140,000 to fix the ILS systems.

	~~This incident cost around 1 million USD to repair and restrengthen~~ the ~~airport walls~~, ~~a further 400,000~~ to ~~restore~~ the ~~landscape and fix and resetup~~ the ~~ILS systems~~, ~~and a tad bit more~~ to the ~~families~~ of ~~the~~ deceased.		As the Montréal convention has not been put in place until 1999, there was no strict regulation as to how much Golden Pacific owed to the families of those perished. This ensued into one of the most fierce legal battles in Greenfield courts as one of the families requested much higher compensation costs than what was offered by Golden Pacific themselves. The case had been brought up to the Supreme Court in 1998, after which the lead judge decided that Golden Pacific was to pay the family of each one deceased $230,000 USD in compensation. (This meant that if 4 people from one family perished in the accident, the airline owed the family $920,000 USD)
