The quick-thinking pilots of a Delta Air Lines Airbus A319 with 129 passengers and six crew members on board averted catastrophe as it was coming in to land at Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) on Saturday morning after air traffic controllers cleared an American Airlines to take off in its path.

Because years ago, Henry Ford and the oil industry convinced Congress to make cars the method of travel across the US. VERY few places can be traveled without a car.

    And it fucking sucks, Hell I've been fortunate enough to have a vehicle that doesn't break down of as of late. It's funny how different people will treat you, my 2 year old car was in the dealership while I spent a week walking around a distant city. Like no I really can choose to walk. I could rent a car, again I have a week off work, but simply walking down the street leads to potential harassment from police and civilians alike.
