Hello, My name is Paula. I live in Peabody Mass, just 15 miles north of Logan. I also partially grew up in Chelsea, mass. Here it is 2024 and my experience living under a flight path to Logan has gotten worse, and that is in Peabody and not east Boston. The noise and pollution concerns occur when there are southeast or southwest winds blowing on jet arrivals on runway # 22L . WHEN THAT OCCURS ,,,,😢THEN THERE IS A JET PLANE SUPER HIGHWAY GOING DIRECTLY OVER MY HOME . WITH THAT JET PLANE SUPER HIGHWAY , FLIGHTS ARE SPACED APART EVERY 55 SECONDS, HOW CLOSE CAN YOU GET?... MY HOME, I,M THE SOLE OWNER AND OCCUPANT. I,M WELL AWARE THAT MY HOME IS IN A FLIGHT PATH SINCE FAR BACK IN THE 1950S GROWING UP. I,VE COMPLAINED TO MASS PORT AND GOT ONLY LUKE WARM RESPONSE. In a local newspaper called the Peabody citizen, now deducted, DATED JULY 17, 2013 there is a historical page dated this week in 1969. It reads the following;;; DUE TO EXTREMELY STEAMY WEATHER, JETS LANDING AT LOGAN AIRPORT WHERE AT A VERY LOW ALTITUDE FLYING OVER PEABODY. THE CITY COUNCIL COMPLAINED TO THE MASSACHUSETTS PORT AUTHORITY ABOUT THE ISSUE, OFFERING THOUGHTS THAT PLANES SHOULDN,T BE COMPELLED TO FLY SO LOW BECAUSE OF HOT AIR.....THE PORT AUTHORITY RESPONDED TO THE COUNCIL THUSLY: "MOST OF THE HOT AIR IN PEABODY IS COMING FROM THE CITY COUNCIL" ;;;;;;.........Like I said it is getting worse today more so than 1969. They added more runways that will bring more people into the Boston Metropolitan area like I said in one newspaper article I wrote, put up more buildings in the downtown core and you yet more people driving in and out. More airport expansion more people more road congestion. I,m not totally against aviation travel, i just like to see balances and more transportation choices along with better intermodal travel. What has been rone to bring more rail transit into or out of the city like Establishing the north /south rail link tunnel? Nothing of course !!!!! A lot of those domestic flights can be illuminated if we had electrified high speed rail with trains capable of traveling between 150 to 200 mph. That pesky north/south rail link was not mentioned by anybody in the video. The person who I blame the most for thwarting the study of the North/south rail link was that cold blooded venture capitalist and former governor Mitt Romney. A typical car guy from a rich family who loves highways and airports, while that infamous big dig was being constructed, why didn,t they put the rail link through?... our transportation priorities are screwed up because of these Republican elected officials . Traffic going into or out of the Ted Williams Tunnel could take more than 1 hour just to go from end to end. I know because I documented one occurance. I used to work in the south Boston rail yards and i,ve witnessed over the years traffic getting worse in and out. Also with south station train traffic has gotten worse because south station train tracks are at capacity. Yet MBTA JUST WANTS TO EXPAND SOUTH STATION AND NOT RECOGNIZE THAT TRAIN MOVEMENTS BOTH AMTRAK HIGH SPEED AND MBTA COMMUTER CAN CONTINUE GOING NORTH UNINTERRUPTED. UNFORTUNATELY ITS THE LIKES OF SOUTHWEST AIRLINES WHO VEHEMENTLY OPPOSE SUCH HIGH SPEED ELECTRIFIED RAIL PROJECTS. READ THE BOOK BY JOESEPH VRANICH . "SUPER TRAINS SOLUTIONS TO AMERICA'S TRANSPORTATION GRIDLOCK" It all boils down to "POLITICAL ECONOMICS VS HONEST ECONOMICS " That is why the ilk of Donald Trump say drill baby drill. They are appeasing the fossil fuel suppliers and related poluting industries. I would appreciate a response back , also pass along to Fred Salvucci and other of Transportation interests. I have a library of information supporting electrified rail systems as a whole. I,ve been still working as an electrician since 1972 PS .....JUST LOOK AT EUROPE AND ASIA HOW SHORT DOMESTIC FLIGHTS HAVE BEEN ELLIMNATED VIA ELECTRIFIED RAIL MISS PAULA WALACH-FORMER INDUSTRIAL ELECTRICIAN-UNION MEMBER IBEW. Employed by MBTA, s /Keolis commuter services.

Nice twist!

Nice video!

cool!

As a human race we have to adapt to better ways of doing things. Of course we all need energy and ways to get around but there are better solutions

We can! Unfortunately too many people out there that cannot envision anything thats not the status quo. You hear too much "it can't be done. can't be scaled up. won't make a difference, manufacturing these things causes pollution as well...." Of course there are challenges. When the automobile came out there were naysayers that said it would never catch on and so on. There are always naysayers with shitty attitudes. Glad there are those that don't listen and find ways to make it happen. Imagine where we'd all be if everyone listened to the naysayers!

cool

That was amazing.

Very serene. Love the time lapse

OUTSTANDING ❤️

Amazing!!

It was such a blast re-editing this trailer!

Love this!!👏🎬

Great trailer! looks interesting

Who's looking out for the underprivileged communities?

It's happening and we got to do something about it

We can't keep ignoring the signs

Interesting info about EVs

Great video!

What makes me sad. Is the lack of critical thinking in society today. The spoiled and selfish.

Yeah tell that to the african kids minning your batteries 😂😂😂😂 🤡

Super informational short! I’ll definitely be checking out the full video! Thanks👍

🤔 maybe, what about the batteries? What’s the battery story? I’ve not heard anything negative about the mechanical aspects of electric automobiles. Their replacement of load carrying vehicles is questionable for sure. Even trains are diesel driven electric etc. But tell us the truth about the current batteries. All of it.

Hmm, might be time to Kick Gas!

Learned a lot, thank you.

Thanks! Love the optimism! Its a challenge no doubt but must be met with hope

Yes we can! Beautiful video!

We should be adopting much more of these technologies. No brainer!

We can't just stop using energy and driving cars as a society but we definitely need to find better ways to achieve those things. Too many negative consequences with the way we are doing things now.

Too many people with ill health effects from pollution. Can't just go on the same way forever. Something has to change

Big industry always walking all over the little people. Sad

Climate change is definitely happening. It does occur naturally but humans are definitely accelerating the process. We can do many things to at least mitigate the situation. All is not lost

Thank you! This answered a bunch of questions I had about charging and energy efficiency 👍👍

Interesting infortmation about EVs.

Dude was this a EV video or a straight up musky Tesla ad?

This is alarming!

cool vid

Great video to bring awareness to the important topic of how big industry affects surround communities. Especially those of minorities which seem to alway get the brunt of it.

Good info to know

There has to be a better balance between business and people's health and well-being.

Great video! good info

Very insightful info in this video

The airport impacts need to be dealt with because the noise and air pollution must be mitigated.

Great source of information on solar

useful info on solar. good job!

This will be helpful in understanding the semi-complicated process!👍👍

Thanks for creating and sharing! Very informative and engaging. This is a great option for many, if not all of us.

Well done video

Very interesting video professionally made and well done. Very informative easy to understand for those who are interested in installing solar panels. Excellent!

Well done video and great info!
