Money changes hands, hush hush.<br /><br />Americans ARE stupid. Best example: When (then) head of Dept. of Environment (can't remember her name) said "There is no danger to rescue workers," she immediately resigned, in Bushista fashion, "to spend time with her family." Paved the way for thousands of brave folks, many volunteers from around the States, to contract cancer, etc., from the plethora of asbestos, dioxin (melted plastics in computers), etc. THAT is the real crime, the US knowing the truth and lying about it to hard-working, earnest Americans. Bush can still kiss my Irish ass...

It doesn't take into account unforeseen circumstances like a mechanical failure. And there's enough bells and alarms on most aircraft that many have to be ignored.

That ...Thanks for some fascinating insight, Demeur. That was an excellent post.<br /><br />It's appalling that so many buildings are like undetonated bombs, only instead of explosives they contain toxic materials that can kill long after something makes the building come apart or collapse.<br /><br />It seems to me the really big skyscrapers should have broader bases and only so many floors between what you might call platform levels where the building narrows before going farther up. The platform levels should have angular beams that provide lateral support as well as increased vertical strength. The idea being to cut losses if some catastrophe causes one or more upper sections of the building to fail. Construction would cost more, but I'm sure it could be done.<br /><br />Of course, there's a way to ensure a plane could never strike a skyscraper. Install small radar units that can't be turned off from inside the plane. If the plane approaches a building and gets within a quarter mile, a computer kicks the stick back, advances the throttles, if necessary, and trims the ailerons and rudder for a climbing, banked turn toward a clear area. Only after four minutes in the clear, and after the pilot enters a code does he regain control of the plane. This fact is displayed in the cockpit, so if someone is thinking about killing him, they had better think again.<br /><br />Of course, this system would be disabled whenever the wheels are down and the plane is on the ground. Otherwise there would be serious problems approaching the terminal. :) S.W.
