The reason for a major upgrade at O'Hare International was to add a better runway layout,with the old runway 18/36 being closed simpley of its short

Wait hold on!!! The reason for the expansion is because King Richy AKA Mayor Daley thinks a redesigned airport layout will decrease airport delays! King Richy also doesn't like the idea of Atlanta having the "busiest Airport Crown" so making everything east-west should do the trick, right.....?? Depends who you talk to......Also Runway 36-18 has been closed for years!! Its used for taxiway movements ONLY!! Right now Lake O'Hare has been drained/moved so that runway 10C could be built.......
Last the west terminal was talked about only if Chicago got the Olympics.......since that horse never left the barn no need for it, or at least for now!!
Want to do some reading Google this:o'hare modernization program or go to this web site:

One of my points in fact is why close down the 14/32s(14R/32L is 13000ft long and 200ft wide) which never makes any sense at all :P If anything, the problem with the runway layout is not using it correctly with major air traffic patterns,takeoffs and landings. Another thing what I was saying about that west terminial was pretty much irresponsible considering that the commercial aviation traffic has'nt fully recovered and as such United Airlines and American Airlines principal gripe with the situation in hand as both air carriers have said the west terminal is not needed!!!! ::)

Looks like we have Hi-res pics available not sure about the rest of you I just want the updated runways so when flying online it's more realistic not fun when I cannot accept what they are operating for landing and takeoff not to mention runway numbers.

Those are not the kind of photos we can use, I've already said we need straight from the top pictures at 1/m pixel resolution or better.
In any case, even if the construction stopped today, and the needed updated pictures of 2010 were available today (those posted by JFKpilot are from 2009), we couldn't start it anyway, since the KORD team is busy finishing KDFW, which has been already postponed twice so, no way we'll stop it again.
