<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Hazard warning <br /> Editor: <br /> As a retired local airline pilot <br /> who served on our union's "haz- <br /> ardous materials" committee, I <br /> want to register the strongest possi- <br /> ble objection to any change in our <br /> state re that would <br /> return control to a counties.. Any <br /> difference in any of the islands' <br /> county ordinances will put us back <br /> where we were years ago. <br /> Airline passengers and cargo <br /> shippers continuously broke the <br /> law (both state and federal) which <br /> controls the transportation of "haz- <br /> ardous materials;" such' as fire- <br /> works by air. It was dangerous and <br /> a catastrophe waiting to happen. <br /> I can't believe ourjudiciary com- <br /> mittees would even consider such a <br /> bill,- <br /> Any difference between the <br /> counties; whether in type of fire- <br /> works or price, will again prompt <br /> interisland, mainland or foreign <br /> country returnees to try to sneak in <br /> this most dangerous of materials in <br /> their luggage or shipments. <br /> I would like to say again that <br /> such a bill will encourage a cata- <br /> strophe waiting to happen. I appeal <br /> to both judiciary committees, <br /> "please don't pass this bill." A dan- <br /> gerous and deadly accident would <br /> be on your heads. <br /> Residents of Hawaii, if any of <br /> you fly or your loved ones fly at <br /> any time, would you want to sit, or <br /> have them sit, over pounds of <br /> explosives in the baggage and <br /> cargo compartments? <br /> Call your representative and your <br /> senator and tell them to vote "no" if, <br /> it gets out of thejudiciary commit- <br /> tees. <br /> Bryant Neal <br /> tirnnnkaa <br /> k <br />
