History
Once you get past some of your basic questions, you should definitely read these. One of the biggest mistakes people have in trying to work for relief is not understanding the history of the airport. Every time there has been an expansion of the airport it has caused tremendous upheaval for the communities. But instead of seeing this as one continuous fight and learning from previous encounters, we tend to see each expansion as a discrete event and thus keep making the same mistakes over and over with each new generation.
