Residents of the City and County of San Francisco urge city officials to take decisive legal action to limit our exposure to noise, disturbance and pollution from news helicopters. The negative impact of news helicopters hovering and circling above residential areas disproportionately effects people who live in working class and underserved neighborhoods, especially those near freeways. The National Transportation Safety Board is calling for new limits on television helicopter pilots following a deadly collision between two Arizona news helicopters in July 2007 who were jockeying for position. The city needs to take action now to prevent similar tragedies from occurring in the skies above San Francisco, and to protect residents from frequent, harmful and unnecessary disturbances caused by helicopters.
I am waiting for the day one of those stupid choppers falls from the sky and kills innocent people. Really a stupid, wasteful, and annoying use of an expensive and polluting aircarft.

Why are helicopters circling around the Mission 2 days after the fire? This is very noisy and disruptive!

Hours and hours of "news" coverage and possibly Police monitoring. 7-Midnight, then starts up again at 5AM!
I have get up for work at 4:45AM!

What is up with the helicopters constantly flying around verbal heights in the evening? It is a torturous form of noise pollution, and should not be allowed!
