It all started as a joke put forth by a fictitious company located on a non-existent floor of the Woolworth building in New York City. The company launched an elaborate website explaining a plan to build an airport on the site of one of New York City’s most popular landmarks, Central Park.

Now the spoof has caught momentum and people all over the city are talking about it and wondering whether or not there’s any truth to it. Anyone familiar with Central Park would find the idea preposterous. The largest tract of land in NYC is revered by young and old alike as a place to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life.

The park contains a zoo, a rowing pond, a pond where model boats can be sailed, horse paths, bike paths, the famous Tavern On The Green and more. It also provides a view for the most expensive apartments and condominiums in NYC which surround it. A lot of powerful and important people live in the buildings surrounding the park.

So the likelihood of an airport ever being constructed there is really impossible. Nevertheless, the plan has been covered by some of the more gullible press and a petition is available on the internet for those who would like to weigh in on the plan. So far it’s reported that more than 19,000 people have expressed their support for the plan by signing the online petition.
