Default JFK Airport Birdstirke Dangers Being Ignored?

For years I have been talking about the danger of using a JFK runway (22
right) that
has a bird nesting area (Joco Marsh) at it's end.

Rather than redirect this runway to its original location, over the middle
of Jamaica Bay,
the FAA and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey has opted to
continue
using this dangerous runway.

This is the same runway that the ill-fated Flight 800 took off from runway
22 right
over this same bird nesting area. The NTSB has never definitely determined
the cause of this crash as being a fuel tank explosion which they say was
the
"probable cause." The possibility of this plane being brought down by birds
was never even considered even by the many conspiracy theorists who
flooded the Internet with their opinions after the crash.

Perhaps after Thursday's crash of the Airbus 320, DEFINITELY due to bird
collisions
with a jetliner, the FAA and Port Authority will move the JFK Airport
Runway
22 away from a bird preserve...but I doubt it. More likely they will
institute
a massive wildlife eradication program. I no longer live in Rockaway, NY
City
but still think that using this runway is very dangerous for the flying
public
and the residents of Rockaway, which only recently (Dec. 2001) had a
departing
JFK Airport plane crash into their community.
