“During the breakdown, howeverit dropped metal bits that dropped at great speed to the ground, in Via Mariotti in Isola Sacra. ”
“When falling, these fragments struck parked cars, garden sheds and other items, harming them. Local authorities, state police, the Carabinieri police, fire brigade and civil protection officers went into the website. ”
The Mayor continued: “What occurred confirms the issue of safety that we’ve raised on several occasions in the appropriate forums.
“As a government we’ve raised the issue of the compatibility of their first runway with the city. ”
“For this we’d also reached a deal with ADR so the track would not be used during the night time and early in the morning. Instead this agreement is disregarded.
“Moreover, today Isola Sacra and Fregene result from the take-off trajectory of the planes that move, thus, very close to the houses together with the risks that today’s events reveal. ”
“We desperately require a meeting with ENAC, ENAV and ADR to deal with and resolve the matter and secure houses and individuals. ”
