In my opinion there is no justification sufficient to allow that to happen on a regular daily basis, usually many times per day. We are entitled to reasonable security, peace and quiet, in our homes and peaceful neighborhoods. There's something very wrong with a system which allows that to happen.
Ok JB, you are right, helicopters are loud! I admit that! No one is denying that! However the statement you made above is one the most selfish and ignorant statements I have heard from almost anyone on here. Saving a life is more than enough justification to momentarily interupting your peace and quiet. That's my opinion, and most sane peoples opinions. YOUR MILD INCONVENIENCE IS NOT AS IMPORTANT AS THE LIVES OF OTHERS. Saving lives is the most important thing. Complain all you want, but that will never change. Obviously you will never be able to put the lives of others ahead of your own personal agenda.
I've read your research material saying that helicopters don't save lives. I don't care. I've seen first hand MANY times that helicopters DO save lives. I've personally loaded more people into helicopters that would have died than I can remember. I personally know people that are alive today because of the hard work the med-evac medics, nurses and pilots do. Some good friends of mine are those pilots, medics, and nurses.
You say everyone else ignores the topic, well you are ignoring the topic! HUMAN LIVES ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAT HUMAN INCONVENIENCE. Sorry but that's just my humane opinion.
