I wonder how they cleared that runway? Looks like they got it right down to bare asphalt. Big plows? Snow-blower?

I think that the 12 meters refers to the width of the runway and the tunnel refers the way the snow is banked up at the sides. In fact maybe it's the height of the snow at the sides. Just guessing.

Yeehaaawww, it's a Canadian-made DeHavilland aircraft, we Canucks are the best in the world! That's why the Americans are so jealous of us, their crappy Boeings crash all over left and right.
