This line of thought was started by bradleyt on another thread, but it was so good I thought it deserved a thread of its own.
bradleyt - "This is clear evidence why we need to prohibit civilians from owning airplanes. Just ban them! If it saves even one life, isn't it worth it? ONLY the military or police should have them, with a few exceptions for "grandfathered" commercial outfits; the government should take them over
to protect the public. Why does anyone need an airplane? With all the thousands of them out there, think how much more dangerous it is? At the very least we need to get rid of the small ones."
I agree completely, it is unfortunate that it takes a national tragedy like the one in Martha's Vinyard to wake up the country to the dangers of airplanes. Especially those hi-cap airplanes, when one of those goes wrong, a lot more people die. Airplanes should be limited to less than 10 passengers. Let's do it for the children!
Y'know, Kennedys have been killed in the past by guns, and now Teddy is trying to take them away. I think that he really should be pushing for the elimination of all trees and airplanes too.
