Also in Die Hard 2 the Windsor plane that crashed said " we are flying on fumes and need to land " the bad dude resets the runway for 200 meters below what it should do the plane drops and crashes in burst into a huge fire ball . I take it there were more than fumes in the tank .

Shock? Also Airport police are idiots Amazing how Richard Thornburg is on the same flight as Holly McClane.  I imagine the odds of that happening are  low. But entirely plausible. When McClane fights the two lads ont he wing of the plane he gets kneed in the face yet doesnt get knocked out or stay down. McClane is one tough cookie When McClane opens the fuel line how come yer man doesnt see the petrol guzzling out nor the pilot? Perhaps they did Why didn't they send a few muppets out to get McClane on the wing as opposed to the 2 big boys? As they were the best guys

More plot holes in this film:

The tape is the least of your worries.

The biggest plot hole is the fact that Karl comes back to life after being hanged for the whole last part of the movie.

The only way this makes sense is as some kind of religious metaphor. Karl looks like some kind of pagan god, but in the end is done in by the forces of Christianity, McClane the Irish Catholic and Al the African-American Baptist.

And if you don't think it has to do with religion. These movies have religion everywhere. They're set at Christmas, in the second the baddies set up their base in a church, and in the third McClane is helped by a man he thinks is called Jesus, but is really Zeus!

And what has more plot holes than religion?

OK Packing Tape, still it would durable enough to tape something to your back is what I'm pointing out
