Finally, there's some disclosure about the air traffic situation in NYC.

If you don't believe it's this bad, take a drive over the Throgs Neck or Whitestone Bridges in early evening. The close proximity of so many in airplanes in such small air space is truly a frightening thing to see.

What's even scarier however is that none of this would likely have come to light without anonymous tips to FAA. How fucked up is that? This NYT article ends with an interesting tidbit about the Tracon manager, who is black, and complaints from a.t.c's (mainly white males). Wonder if there'll be more on that dynamic in the coming weeks.
