Spanair copilot sees fireworks on the third runway (audio)
From the AVV Gavà Mar we want to make public our stance :
FIREWORKS
ARE NOT THE SOLUTION
REGARDING THE AIRPORT PROBLEM, AVV GAVÀ MAR WISHES TO ACT WITH GOOD
SENSE AND REALISM
WE CONSIDER IT DANGEROUS AND INAPPROPRIATE TO THROW FIREWORKS IN THE PLANES'
FLIGHT TRAJECTORIES
WE STRONGLY DISAPPROVE OF THIS CONDUCT, WHICH MAY HAVE VERY GRAVE CONSEQUENCES
NOT ONLY FOR THE AIRCRAFTS BUT ALSO FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
We find the following article and TV report very interesting :
