Compare that with the NTSB declaration that there have been 8 accidents in the Hudson River area in the last 14 years and introducing new procedures would seem to be a no-brainer.
ok
toptobottom, I've looked at your posts and wonder if you could please provide a link to the statement of the NTSB that there were 8 accidents in the last 8 years involving aircraft in flight - excluding landing and takeoff phases close to the pad, because those are entirely unrelated to this accident.
Edit: NTSB Safety Recommendation from August 27, 2009 (see my next post):
"The NTSB has no record of previous collisions between aircraft operating in the Hudson River class B exclusion area"
