I wouldn't shoot so fast- TEB is a pretty major artery in the NYC area. It
handles probably more than half of the bizjet traffic into Manhattan and in
case it isn't obvious, the people who fly in those jets are, shall we say,
influential? This is not some little country strip supporting weekend Cub
flights. Besides, if they close TEB the traffic will just have to move to
somewhere else, and the NY/NJ Port Authority has enough trouble dealing with
the traffic at EWK, LGA, and JFK as it is.

Maybe, maybe not, I don't know. But if that plane would have hit a
school bus full of kids when crossing the road and/or that warehouse
would not have happened to be empty at that time, I bet the airport
would already be closed right now.
