Which one of you was this? 78% of noise complaints lodged against Reagan Airport were made by one household!

He’s an Astronaut.

Let that sink in.

Things are a lot noisier on earth than in the vacuum of space…

I can’t imagine ever complaining about airplane noise if you live in line with air travel.

And the airport had to employ someone full-time to answer his phone calls. So, win-win?

He was a European astronaut. Doubt he needed to be high functioning.

Are you always this xenophobic? Makes you sound very low-IQ.

Are you the person who accuses people of being low IQ on every thread? The person above was obviously making a joke (a pretty funny one!).

The people who are really bothered by airplane noise have some severe form of misophonia. They need to live in the countryside.

- lives 1 miles from National Airport, and can definitely hear (and feel) the planes. It's NBD.

But the Vitori guy is clearly mentally ill.

I think you are a real estate agent, a property owner looking to sell soon, or just misguided

The situation is bad and getting worse or there wouldn’t be so many messages on the local listserve, and the citizen association

Anyway, people have eyes and ears and access to the research noting how harmful this is

By the way if you bother with the facts, it wasn’t him. He filed a lot of these but not all. Additionally people did organize and had focal points to file.

Don’t defame a decent person. He did a lot. He did the right thing. But he’s not the guy

Did anything meaningful come of it?

Maybe you should reread that forum or did the brain damage from the jet fuel micro particles get to you already?

Do you think the particles fall straight down? I'm assuming those particles travel long distances before hitting the ground.

No, so buyer beware. I think both people who were known to make the reports gave up and moved. But they don’t deserve mockery.

Here is a great article with the guy who owned the house on MacArthur and Reservoir (gorgeous house btw) that describes the desperation of living under a relentless flight path that motivates people to do this:

This is a great story and talks about the organized effort to report the plane noise.

I don’t think anything. I read the science and it says these particles are so dangerous because they are so tiny and pushed down by the forces that have to do with how the jets fly straight into your lungs and organs; the issue is that they are too tiny and pushed down too fast to be addressable in any meaningful way. The articles say you are better off standing in the middle of a highway the whole day and breathing the fumes than living under a flight path.

It’s all laid out if you search for it, including yes on this website. I honestly don’t understand the gaslighting and vitriol of the people who claim the planes aren’t flying over these few neighborhoods in DC low and every minute or so. I understand that your personal risk tolerance is way higher and your personal comfort bar too; but don’t get why you feel the need to so aggressively call everyone else crazy etc? I mean these people protesting the flight paths are objectively right.

If you stand in the middle of the highway, you will be hit within hours.

Might be preferable to the dementia, respiratory diseases and cancers from the flight path. Your choice
