Remeber the airplane striking the 14th St Bridge in DC on take off? The Pentagon is virtually on the other side of that bridge. Local (DC) radio had a statment from a local "offical" that we cann't consider closing Regan National Airport since 10,000 people are employeed there. Personally I think we should consider closing it or exchange Regan National for Bowling Air Force base. I belive Congressional workers consider Regan National to be very "handy", maybe they will rethink this.
