It looks like the Challenger skidded off the runway and crashed into a
warehouse at TEB.


Yesterday, NPR news stated that the mayor is pushing for reducing the number of
flights at TEB and installing "foam crash barriers" at the ends of the runway.

No mention of the fact that the deceleration produced by barriers like that
would have killed everyone on board this aircraft had they been in place.

Yes, but more voters drive cars on the hiqhway going past TEB than fly
out of it. That is all that matters to politicians.
