NYPD should have been first responders to crash
It didn’t surprise me when the first responders to the US Airways accident were civilian boats and not the police. If our waterways and ports are so secure, why did it take the NYPD so long to respond? Wake up, NYPD and Mayor Bloomberg.

Plane/bird collisions should be prevented
Airplane crashes like the one in the Hudson River could be reduced by a lot if New Jersey and New York would allow hunters to shoot these good-for-nothing geese down. In addition, engineers could come up with something better to prevent the birds from being sucked into the motor like adding some bars or special screens to bounce the birds off. Many people have been killed by similar airplane/bird crashes in the past.

Global warming not a theory
Re Leonard Wilson’s letter, “Cold snap proves Al Gore’s warming theory is wrong,” Jan. 19: Wilson’s letter claiming that Al Gore was just “selling” global warming scares me in a way I can’t describe. I won’t try to change Mr. Wilson’s mind, as I’m guessing it might already have been set before this recent cold snap. It will always be true that, in science, 2+2=4. But what some people don’t realize is that in the “real world,” that’s usually the end result of the simplification of a much larger and more complex formula. Ergo, global warming can’t be expressed as simply as what your thermometer says.
