Xela Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Anybody watch 5 Minutes To A Fortune on Channel 4? A couple just lost about £48k because the girl couldn't name 5 out of the top 10 busiest airports in the world.. She named 4 but couldn't name a 5th.. Just wondered why they use statistics from 2010 and not more recent.. She said Dubai but it was not in the top 10 list they used, but according to the 2012 statistics it is the 10th most busiest airport.. Its a strange question to ask as there are various factors that you could claim to be the busiest in the world. Most passenger movements. most airplane movements, most destinations offered, most international movements etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainer Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 The top 10 answers that were given on the show were the exact top ten busiest by passenger in 2010 according to statistics that i looked up afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimzk5 Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 (edited) If you going on footfall, simple numbers of passangers boarding and getting off planes is have guessed London heathrow Beijing Mumbai JFK Paris cdg Maybys would be Seoul, Moscow, rio, Barcelona and a guess at a German one, Munich probably Edited May 1, 2013 by Jimzk5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 (edited) I'd have a few similar choices: If it was me (and I haven't looked) I'd have guessed London Heathrow Atlanta (remember reading it was busiest in America) Tokyo Narita Frankfurt Beijing or maybe Hong Kong instead of Tokyo Edited May 1, 2013 by Xela Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted May 1, 2013 Author VT Supporter Share Posted May 1, 2013 I'm bored so I'm watching the first series of Bo' Selecta I never realised that "Bubbles" is Caroline Flack.

CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Everyone looks the same now. I noticed it today. What happened? I also find 99% of people incredibly **** boring. Example Me: Good weekend? Person 1: Yeah, went out, got drunk, so fun. Me: Yeah. What about you? Person 2: Same Me: And you? Person 3: Same Ad in-****-finitum. I think I need to move somewhere less homogeneous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
