Another runway would have serious safety implications if there's a
missed approach on the center runway.


Rubbish!

They currently use one for takeoffs and one for landings - how would the
situation be any worse with a third runway?


At present if an a/c taking off need to divert suddenly they simply turn
away from the other runway's flight path.

If you have three working in parallel where doe the middle one go?
