Two coasts; two planes

It has been a most interesting spring so far in New York.  March is still in Smarch territory; and today 7 inches of snow fell down in a storm to remember.  It looks quite beautiful outside; then again I live in Long Island, where most snowfall looks pleasing to the wistful eye.  Yet, in New York City, the snow has become troublesome and prone to cause accidents.

A passenger jet plane taking off from LaGuardia Airport skidded left to right and then left again; it caused damage to the plain and quite a mess of a derailment.  Fortunately, no one was seriously injured to merit a critical condition classification.  Those that were injured and transferred to hospital should be back on their feet within a short period of time.  The reputation to LaGuardia, however, has been hit yet again.  The airport did Not need this incident to occur.

3000 plus miles away in California, near beautiful downtown Venice, a 1942 fighter bomber jet crashed near a field.  On that plane was Harrison Ford, himself quite a noted licensed pilot in addition to being one of our living legends in film.  Ford was badly hurt, with blood apparently all over his face.  He is now in hospital, with the hope he will get better.  Though this is considered serious for the condition Harrison Ford is in.

I mention this to note in some form or another our ever changing climate, and the ramifications it can and will have on our means of transport.  Yes, today the snow in New York and the warmth in California may not mean much.  Yet, suppose the snow went to Venice, hardly a possibility but one to think about.  What if the 1942 plane were in New York, for another example.  For that matter, would the passenger jet have skidded off the runway and near the water if the plane were taking off from LAX?  More importantly, with our climate being what it is now, can we be expecting more of these patterns of plane problems in the near future? 

I can understand these questions about transportation and climate seem rather odd on a day where two plane crashes appear more of a coincidence than anything.  Yet, I suppose we need to discuss these matters.  The next weather and plane incidents might not produce the preferred outcome we all hope occurs.  Let me know what you all think of these concerns.  It can get lonely only speaking to myself.

Catch up with you later,

PS.  Han and Gredo shot at the same time, and Deckard is a replicant.  I will not be disputing anything to the contrary.
