Default Re: Aircraft crashes into building in NYC

very strange conspiracy theory...

I couldnt stand hearing the media try to "explain" what vfr meant and its restrictions. Especially when I turned to one channel and one "expert" says how vfr aircraft dont have to talk to atc no matter where they are, then the next channel has somebody talking about the safety of general aviation aircraft. (by then, im like omg). Then somebody showed the New York sectional chart to the camera and said theres no place for a general aviation aircraft to fly around the city without talking to atc. But then on the national news, the person mentioned the Hudson River corridor (way to go ;p)

I should just throw out my tv

and just to add something...Bloomberg said tomorrow he will talk to the faa about adding restrictions to low time pilots flying around large cities. By then, I shut off the tv and took a walk.
