This young lady wrote the following article to the SF Chronicle.
Thank you, Fleet Week. My preschool-aged daughter, having heard your airplanes overhead all week, is now completely traumatized and afraid to go outside. She just heard a commercial airliner in the sky and ran inside shrieking, shaking, and trying to close all the windows and doors. We tried to have a fun family weekend enjoying free music in our park, but it was ruined by the thundering sound of those hateful airplanes overhead, forcing her (and most of the other children I saw) to throw her hands over her face and cower.
If there is ever an opportunity for me to vote on any proposition keeping this ridiculous event and huge waste of resources from marring the skies of my city again, you can bet I'll be the first in line to get it voted in.
DEMETRA DELÍA
San Francisco
To the wonderful men and women of Fleet Week-God Bless You! We love each and every one of our brave guys and gals in uniform.
To Demetra-GROW UP! If you don't that kid is going to be so screwed up some day.
