Safety Concerns Over Fleet Week in The Bay Area

Fleet Week is always an interesting time in the Bay Area, because we get to see the Blue Angels perform. Last year was the first Fleet Week I attended, and I can say it was an impressive display. Watching the Blue Angels pull tricks right over your head, with the background of the city of SF and the Bay and Golden Gate Bridge is really something. The sounds, the speed and the tremendous skills of the pilots make it quite an experience.

This year some SF county supervisors tried to petition to have the Blue Angles prevented from performing, based on recent incidents involving crashing planes and onlookers. I have to admit there is a danger, but I'm not sure if banning the performance is appropriate either. They will soon decide whether the show can go on or not.
