Opinion: When gasoline costs $10 a gallon

For decades we’ve lived (and driven) in denial, somehow assuming we have the “right” to cheap gas, and therefore, low-cost transportation.

Yesterday, a JetBlue Airbus A320 operating flight B61971 from Fort Lauderdale to Austin refused the heading they were given and declared an emergency. When ATC issued a heading that appeared to take the aircraft toward a severe thunderstorm, the crew pushed back: “So you're gonna make us go through a, uh, severe thunderstorm?” The captain then made the call: “So we declare an emergency, making a left turn heading 260 for severe weather avoidance.” A good call from the cockpit crew keeping everyone on board safe.
