I only fly when there is no viable alternative to getting to where I want to go. It is a fact of life that aeroplanes sometimes crash - due to mechanical failure, pilot error or terrorism. They are at their most vulnerable to all three when landing or taking off. I would rather they didn't do so over heavily populated areas. Therefore I would prefer Gatwick to expand rather than Heathrow, and a Thames Estuary airport with take-off and landing over water to both. IMHO the Davies Commission failed to give sufficient weight to that factor. |
