Jan 2019

Planes flying into La Guardia and Newark from other airports on the East Coast are not allowed to take off. These airports are not closed, they just can't have planes taking off as usual. Planes that are taking off from the West coast are okay because they should have room for them by the time they get there. I hope they don't and these plane have to land in the mid-West. I do not want to see any accidents. If the whole East coast shuts down it will cause havoc.
