Question 1145632: The Adams drove from their home to the airport, a distance 50km at 60km/h They left for the airport one hour prior to takeoff, but had to stop for 25min to change a flat tire. At this point, they were still 20km from the airport. If the speed limit for the remaining 20km was 90km/h, did they catch the plane show calculations.

No, they left home when they should have been at the airport if the flight was domestic. The days of arriving at the airport at the last minute are long gone. Ever heard of TSA and checking in?
They might have arrived at the airport in time to see it takeoff.
