Another (odd) Legacy of 9/11
So when the wind blows a certain way, the traffic pattern for landing at San Jose Airport is routed directly over my house. Sometimes, I'll be in my yard and I'll hear a jet overhead, and I'll look up. And if it's a 767, sillouetted against a crystal blue sky, I'll flash back to seeing those planes hitting the buildings in New York and suddenly it will look ominous and creepy. I wonder if that will ever go away?

If I were you, I would start investing in those tall polls that have the little red lights on them. The aircraft will have to fly around your house and you won't be bothered again. It's just like the sign near bonny dunes where it says Santa Cruz is a nuclear free zone, those poles are the sign that tells the pilots that this is a no fly zone or else you will crash into something.
So I was driving home the other day on 880 when a low flying 747 buzzed the freeway. Now, I'm not one to get nervous or anything like that, but this reminded me of 9/11 when these jets were being used as missiles. I've always wondered if any planes had actually come close to wrecking into 880 right where they come in for their landing.
