It's a busy morning for @blade_community @melissa_tomkiel & @wiesenthal ferrying "human organs" back and forth to JFK at 600ft over the neighborhoods of Brooklyn. #stopthechop #prayforfog

Non-essential helicopter flights harm the environment, affect mental health, and damage quality of life for communities near the waterfront.
Today I was joined by my colleagues to demand answers from the FAA and NPS on insufficient regulations around the NY and NJ coastlines.

Non-essential helicopter flights are way beyond a public nuisance–they are disrupting people’s ability to work, study, sleep, and simply live their lives. I’m grateful to @RepDanGoldman for advocating for the community and seeking solutions to this incessant noise-pollution.

Helicopter noise is like the weather — everyone complains about it, but no one fixes it. Today, @kduggan16 looks at utter failure on the local, state and federal level to @StoptheChopNYNJ! nyc.streetsblog.org/2022/12/…
Yesterday was so peaceful. Nothing like rain and fog to tamper down the jerks at @flyblade. Back with a vengeance today, eh @blade_community ?
So much for the relaxing morning runs in @bbpnyc allowed by heavy fog. The constant drone is back thanks to @flybladenow (starting with the 7am flyover) and the rest of the helo goons of the @NYCEDC #stopthechop @LincolnRestler @ShahanaFromBK @NYCMayor @StoptheChopNYNJ

@nytimes - this is not showing the whole picture! It’s not just rich people living near EH Airport affected by helicopters! All living between W. 30 & E. 34 th st heliports in Manhattan along entire flight path to Hamptons (& airports) r negatively affected! Including EJ areas!

Gorgeous day on Gov Island except for the literally constant helicopter noise. NYC’s inability to regulate obvious, large negative externalities that benefit few + harm many is so depressing.

@SusanSarandon Why are you collaborating with Blade to destroy the air and the peace in NYC? We’re plagued by incessant helicopter noise and their attempt to greenwash with a gala for the Hudson River park is a sham. @StoptheChopNYNJ
We would also like in-person Curriculum Night at Beacon but the @UFT took that away from us.

It’s astonishing, when it comes to helicopter noise in BK, that the convenience of a tiny few has been allowed for so long to inconvenience the vast majority. It’s truly spoiled Brooklyn Bridge Park.
Where does it end? This is ridiculous and must stop! @Brooklyn_277 @flybladenow

@NYCMayor and @GovKathyHochul have a lot to learn from the town of East Hampton on how to protect their residents and prioritize interests of people vs corporations making money off of New Yorkers misery #banblade #banflynyon
Man @LievSchreiber, I can't believe you did a TV spot for @flybladenow after all of the noise and air pollution they inflict on all of us living under the path from Manhattan to JFK. @StoptheChopNYNJ

Today I joined @RepMaloney at a press conference to discuss our Helicopter Safety and Noise Management Act.
For decades, New Yorkers have been plagued by excess helicopter noise and have had their lives put in danger by non-essential flights.
