Jet Noise
* Re “Airport Panel OKs Noise Reduction Plan,” July 30.
On July 28, I attended a 2 1/2-hour farce put on (and it was a put-on) by the Los Angeles city airport commissioners. Many speakers complained about the obnoxious noises from the Van Nuys Airport’s jets. When two speakers, representing different groups, reported that the commissioners had refused their phone calls and ignored their letters, the final decision became only too apparent. The legitimacy of the complaints was clear when a low-flying jet made conversation impossible.
Undeterred, the commissioners voted to bury the San Fernando Valley in noise and pollution.
