So the FAA in its commitment to manage and oversee the commercial aircraft transportation industry implemented legislation such as the 14 CFR Part 150 Airport Noise Compatibility Planning and Part 161, which contains requirements governing airport noise and access restrictions. These programs are aimed at increasing the understanding impact of noise has, identifying solutions to reduce those impacts, and educating the public on the issues and ongoing efforts of noise reduction in and around high traffic airports. The FAA in conjunction with airports such as JFK International has also developed programs such as the Residential Acoustical Treatment Program (RATP), which is a program that “determines which neighbourhoods, noise-sensitive public buildings, and local jurisdictional boundaries lie within the noise-impacted area surrounding the Airport. Facilities identified by the studies are eligible to receive noise mitigation treatments” according to http://www.burbankairport.com/noise/noise-issues.html or acoustical treatment by installing better insulation in homes and surrounding buildings. Adopting new or improved zoning ordinances or controls to prevent no-compatible development of land (primarily residential) within the noise impact areas of an airport, along with

“There will be great presidents but there will never be another Camelot” -Jackie Kennedy, the 35th First Lady to John F. Kennedy. Jackie Kennedy and many other people refer to John F.

America’s well-being was shattered on November 22, 1963, the day of John F. Kennedy’s assassination. Although authorities arrested Lee Harvey Oswald as the president’s killer, a multitude of citizens in our country believe a conspiracy was involved, and that Oswald was not the lone assassin. The film JFK encompasses facts that support conspiratorial actions being part of JFK’s assassination. These facts support a disparate opinion and gives viewers and movie characters the chance to formulate their own opinions instead of blindly following that of another. In JFK, Oliver Stone displays certain events in different perspectives in order to prevent blind following from inattention.

Plagued by conspiracies since the day construction crews broke ground in the 1990’s, the Denver airport has captured the attention of many theorists who are trying to uncover what its true purpose is. These theories gain support through many of the questionable features that where unnecessarily placed right in the public view. For example, the massive horse statue that seems to guard the airport as it stands menacingly at the entrance. Also, the airport is riddled with questionable murals that depict disturbing scenes that seem to call upon a primal fear. Travelers are also made uneasy by the recent addition Anubis, the ancient Egyptian god of death. Even the gigantic size and layout of the baggage claim and runways are brought into the investigation. It seems that no matter where you are in the Denver International Airport (DIA) you are given clues that allude to something sinister.
As Sassen (40) defined, networks and circus are elementary of global cities, having a well–connected airport is thus critical for linkage of a city with the world as it allows intensive flows of information, people and products. Hong Kong has developed itself into an international aviation hub the holds leading position in both passenger and cargo terms. According to the Airports Council International (), HKIA ranked as number 10 and 1 as the world’s busiest airport by passenger and cargo traffic respectively. We should, of course, be proud of having such an outstanding airport as foundation of our economic success. However, other Asian cities have caught up in challenging Hong Kong’s leadership for their increasing passengers and cargo flows and expansion plan to increase capacity. To what extent the third runway, as suggested by the Airport Authority Hong Kong (AAHK), can help Hong Kong withstand such a fierce competition?
