Hackensack Discussion / Teterboro Airport-bound jets over Hackensack Hospital 2-13-23

This is the story that's in the video's writeup.............and be sure to crank up the sound for full effect (and please hit the "Watch on YouTube" link so the view counts):


It was busy at the hospital, so I had to park on the roof of the parking garage.

There's a nice view up there, so after my appointment, I took a few photos..............and then I heard a plane. It was a private jet heading for Teterboro Airport, which is about 3 miles south of where I was standing.

Time for a quick switch to video.

There's been a big stink for years about the noise and pollution of many aircraft flying low - directly over the hospital (and many high-rise apartment buildings on the same street) - and new routes were proposed that were to take the planes over a nearby highway instead.

They might need to work on that a little harder. Here are 4 planes that flew directly overhead in a period of...............EIGHT MINUTES!

And be sure to follow the bouncing sun reflection ball.

I haven't posted on this topic in a while, but that doesn't mean that anything got fixed. Many captions still say that the photo's subject "reacts" when he/she is just standing there doing nothing, but we got a couple of new dopey captions today.

1. Why would the caption advise you to look for the guy wearing purple in a black-and-white photograph?

2. Does anyone in this picture appear to have been "thrown down", as the caption suggests? And when you look at the way the caption writer spelled "Joseph's", do you wonder if maybe he/she got thrown down on his/her head?


There's new twist lately to something that few people put any stock in: horoscopes - something that is usually read for amusement because they're usually so far off.

It appears that a new entity has taken over............one that almost solely involves ridiculous-sounding planetary connections and their effects. Check out these three from this month (and my apologies if you truly believe in any of this).

ONE LATE ADDITION: I just found this sitting for the last month on my desktop...............more great writing.

There's a story in today's Record (the link is "subscribers only") that basically says this: the main 3-story building and iconic tower will be preserved and a 258-unit apartment building will be "constructed around it" (I'm not sure how that works).

There will also be almost 18,000 square feet of retail space along Main St and Anderson St, two interior courtyards and a pool.

Can't wait to see what this will look like.
