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?


Straight on.....
