Airplanes! Without them we wouldn't have hijackings, and we would still have the Twin Towers. Also, the majestic zepplin would still ply the skys. Huge Grande ocean liners would transport the masses happily across the seas cheaply and with better food. There would be no noisy airports to piss people off. No contrails to ruin photos, no occasional huge lump of frozen **** crashing through someones house in Boise.
