Does anyone ever write to the newspapers that print this stuff and give them the lowdown on these incidents from your point of view? Would be especially nice if the paper printed your comments.
Years ago, an aunt of mine was on a flight into ORD that went around for the exact same reason (usually is). She vowed to never fly into Ohare again. It was just too busy/dangerous she thought. To her, it was practically a near death experience and deserved to be on the evening news. Apparently shes not alone.
Completely nuts to most people with aviation experience who can rationalize controlled flight inside 200,000lb machines.
