Richard Creatura ruled that the Navy had deliberately \u201cturned a blind eye\u201d to the environmental and community impact of bringing more EA-18G Growler aircraft to the base. He further charged that the Navy had specifically selected methods of evaluating data that favored its goals of populating the station with more planes.<\/p>\n<p>In his ruling last week, the judge accused the Navy of acting \u201cat the expense of the public and the environment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Not only do the aircraft flying overhead reach noise levels of a deafening 120 decibels (dB) outdoors and as high as 90 dB inside, but planes can be heard zooming by \u201cabout every minute or so, right in the middle of the day. It\u2019s completely, absolutely unlivable outside,\u201d one local told The Intercept.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rt.com\/usa\/543797-washington-wins-lawsuit-noise-navy-planes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/rael.maitreya\/posts\/10160120176689345\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RAEL&#8217;S COMMENT:\u00a0 The same should be done in Okinawa<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":131,"featured_media":342382,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-342380","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/noproxy.rael.org\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/342380","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/noproxy.rael.org\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/noproxy.rael.org\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/noproxy.rael.org\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/131"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/noproxy.rael.org\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=342380"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/noproxy.rael.org\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/342380\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/noproxy.rael.org\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/342382"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/noproxy.rael.org\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=342380"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/noproxy.rael.org\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=342380"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/noproxy.rael.org\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=342380"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
