It's a terrible shame. But closing the corridor because of one unfortunate
accident reminds me of a situation a few years back that happened nearby.

The Cross County Parkway and the Major Deegan Expressway in Yonkers are
linked together by a short traversal onto Route 100 . . . etc.

This may have been covered in another post that I skipped, but I'll
make the question short, and you seem like a good guy to ask.

If the VFR corridor is mainly to save the LGA controllers the
distraction of talking to planes on floats and helos using that short
strecth of the East River, and the only thing you can do without
busting the LGA bravo is fly up and make a U-turn, why does anybody do
that? Are they still burning that stuff under the 59th St bridge?


We've become a bunch of cowardly lions...

Sixth-graders packing heat? Scares *me*.
