I feel that another runway and more flights will not only be detrimental to the health of people who are under the flight paths, i.e., sleep deprivation and noise pollution, but also destroys the peace and quiet of an area designated as ANOB. Night flights are a problem as it is. Also, in a time when we are very conscious of the effects of air pollution on the environment, more flights will increase the problem. Do we really need another runway? In the time it has taken me to type this form - 2 minutes - there have been at least 6 noisy planes pass overhead at a low height.
