Who cares if it's a densely packed city! A Performance 'A' category aeroplane should climb away with one out... They didn't aviate; that's why people are pontificating about it
BTW I used to fly the old versions of the ATR42 and 72 and they flew fine on one - without all the bells and whistles of the -600...
