It seems like the silliest excuse for a story I've ever seen. The article contains nothing that isn't obvious or already well-known.

I grew up in Chicago, Meigs was really a nice little airport. Getting rid of was maybe the right thing to do, maybe not, but the way it was done was definitely NOT the right way. Daley was an insane authoritarian just like his dad.

The best start to sustainable transportation is an enormous investment in nuclear power. Prioritize replacing fossil fuel-based electricity generation with nuclear power-based electricity generation with more capacity than its predecessor. We can then use the clean, reliable energy powering the grid to enable portable wireless energy sources like batteries, hydrogen, and things yet to be invented.

They both returned immediately after take-off, were inspected, and took off again a few hours later.

I've read hundreds of your comments and every one, without exception, contains significant grammatical errors. Nobody cares about those things in comments but still, as a glass house owner, you should probably stop throwing stones at others.

I don't believe there are any US production drones that can fly anywhere near 60k feet. Also, anything with a wing would have to fly way too fast to maintain lift at that altitude. Probably the best vehicle to use for this purpose is another balloon. Or, as Peter Fuller suggests, a military-grade laser (but using laser weapons is not necessarily an escalation that we'd want to undertake). But engineering a solution from scratch to operationally functional is not something you can do in week. It's likely that with photo recon and SIGINT they already had a very good idea what was on the balloon. The best reason to shoot it down is that it was an egregious and reckless violation of US airspace, and for that an F-22 and missiles is just fine. As an alternative, and this is just the hippie in me thinking, we could just have allowed the obvious Chinese provocation to occur and negotiated with China to even help them recover the craft (assuming that they have some way to recover it).

Note that the only reason MH370 is covering this is because it involves Boeing aircraft. He is not honest enough to admit this and has no integrity.
