No fly zone at 3000 feet

There is a no fly zone over the oil slick to keep the media out, and we are suppose to think the feds and BP aren't in bed. Wake up, only the FAA can declare this. we have not had one media helicopter taking video of this disaster. They do not want us knowing how bad this really is, and the feds are in on it. Obama needs to nut up.. its BP's fault sure but it is time for some leadership. obama is a joke

They are probably doing it for safety. They have helicopters involved in the relief effort and also had those low flying planes droppings dispersants.

BP enacted this 3 weeks ago. It was to censor media.

I would imagine this pilot had to change his underwear shortly after landing.

I really don't understand why any of you are reading into this all that much??
Common sense tells you that there is a chaotic amount of shite going on around that area and there is ALOT of helicopter and plane traffic already.... So why would you allow every Tom, Dick & Harry out there to go buzz around and inflame the situation and get in the way??
Anyone with any brains should know how bad this is. The 24hr news cyle is doing a good job of letting everyone know how bad this is.

The no fly zone doesn't bother me. Its only 3k. You can see what you need to from there if you are the media. The less sh!t they have to worry about fixing this, the better.
I could imagine choppers all over the rigs without the no fly zone.

Direct from someone that was on site for 3 days =
Gruesome. Much worse than the public knows. No cameras or pictures allowed.
From Houma, scores of people and boats sitting around doing nothing.

The media is fricking stupid. It's a Temporary Flight Restriction and they're issued all the time for various reasons, one being to keep non-participating aircraft away from disaster areas.
It's regulatory and if you bust one your gonna be hating life.
