Fitchburg Airport under fire

Alex Kittenplan wrote in to report that the Fitchburg Sentinel&Enterprise has published a rather alarmist article about the accidents at Fitchburg. [Pop-up warning: The linked site opens multiple pop-up windows. Block them with Firefox!]

The article reports that many of the neighbors are scared. One reports experiencing repeated nightmares, and would like to move out of the area. The article fishes for reports of increased homeowners insurance rates, decreased property values, however none are found. Neighbors are reported as describing "shocking noise" and "visitors duck for cover". Another person referring to low flying aircraft claims "Man, oh, man, -- You can see the whites of their eyes sometimes". All in all this was an amazingly negative article.

Update The article is no longer available online - a copy is attached here for archive purposes.
