A developer’s quest to build the nation’s tallest building in Oklahoma City is receiving pushback from the city’s airport agency, which claims it might be too tall for approaching airplanes to navigate. At 1,907 feet, the proposed Legends Tower would be twice as tall as any building in the city and serve as a monument to Oklahoma City’s pioneering spirit and crippling inferiority complex.
But Oklahoma City Airports Director Jeff Mulder recently told The Oklahoman it could cause problems for airplanes. “We’re just speaking for the airport, but pilots would have concerns, too,” Mulder said.
If the only thing standing in the way of building this super skyscraper are concerns over flight patterns, hopefully it can be worked out. Anti-abortion climbing activists need a new challenge.
But the list of challenges, including common sense and practicality, is likely much longer.
