For the second night in a row a DWB plane is being refused landing requests. Last night the plane had to land in the DR and drive all supplies into Haiti.

Gov. Rendell on the other hand was able to negotiate a landing for a private flight to bring orphans back to PA. Tough call, but the orphans sound like they were safe and could have been cared for for a few more days where they were.

The medical supplies for the thousands of people dying were not allowed to land.

Double edged sword.

ETA: I don't know what the right choice is. Who can say? Seems odd though that DWB gets denied access to land twice while a gvmnt official works a way in.
