@scottalanmiller I work in Downtown St. Louis, define not safe.

South Chicago

South Atlanta

South London

South any city

edit: Hey, @nadnerB - Since everything is upside down in Australialand, is it the northern part of cities that is crime ridden and dangerous?

Cleveland, OH proves your rule! Why? Because the entire city is the "south side", it has a different section called "The Flats". Guess which is the bad area of town.

It erupted last week. Been eight months since the last one.

Well, downside up in a manner of speaking. It's more opposite than direction in that we don't have such large swathes of "South side of $city is dangerous". It's more like pockets dotted through out the cities.

Even then, it's not that bad. Sure we have our road ragers, meth heads and general people problems but we don't have the "Don't turn down that street if you want to live" problems as far as I know. I've not head of that anywhere.

I read about that before. I think it's a really cool idea and would love to see it in use.

I just was texting my friend who is a JetBlue pilot. She doesn't think it's a good idea LOL

I wonder why not, other then having to land, and take off, at a slight angle, I don't see many issues with it. Cross traffic may be the biggest issue but that would just take some logistics and training to get around.

I wonder how much more stress in on the plane because it's circular?

Her contention was that it would take up a lot more space, materials, etc, and wouldn't be very economically viable.

Training...oh yeah!! Plus you would have to reconfigure the plane's landing gear for starters. Sounds really expensive.
