[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone remember the person who constantly posted about airplane noise on the Real Estate forum?  Maybe they are represented in those statistics.[/quote]

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

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

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.

Can you define under a flight path? I am assuming if the plane is over your house, their particles don't actually fall on your house. The wind and atmosphere carry them much further, presumably miles away?[/quote]

It’s under the flight path, not miles around. It’s concentrated and it’s 10 miles w/n the airport up and down under the flight path and the worst where flights are at 3,000 or less which is the river neighborhoods in DC.

Here’s a great presentation. This is all a relatively new science, but seems unequivocal. The only people immune to both the science and the noise are the real estate agents.

When aircraft switch to electrical motors or hydrogen fuel cell motors in the decades ahead, and cease emitting ANY exhaust pollutants AT ALL, what cause will you switch too to oppose airplanes then?

Noise? Probably. Because even electric motors and the propellers driven by them still make noise. And the air flowing around and aircraft and over the wings is actually quite loud as well.

But at least then you’ll have to admit that it was never a pollution issue to begin with. It has everything to do with just wanting to see or hear aircraft all day long.

Which begs the question- the did you move to a place that you KNEW was in the flight path to begin with? The airport is older than most everyone living there. You all made the CHOICE to live there in spite of the planes, because it’s a tony and exclusive place to live. You could’ve lived in lots of places in the DC area that aren’t under the flight paths, but you specifically chose not to. Instead, you moved right under it, knowing it was there, and now you want the airport closed.

Why didn’t you buy a home in PG county? There’s no flight paths like this over there. But nooooooo, you’ve gotta be over in Palisades, because that’s more fitting for someone in your station in life. Barf. [/quote]
