Except that for a significant distance beyond the fence, freeway construction may have provided a life saving alternative.

But to reach the freeway the aircraft needed to negotiate three substantial telecom towers, 14 verticle billboards protruding above the roof line and the giagantic 100 meter long billboard wall.
