It was the year that Florida started putting 'Sunshine State' instead of the county on the license plates to 'disguise' rental cars. In reality, both of these spots are dangerous after dark, crime stats highlight it, sorry if your Mom calls the same city home, but fact is, This sick incident didn't happen in Peoria or Ponca City or Pacoima.
All airlines started moving their crews away from airport locations during the 80's and 90's because of the crime stats. I opposed it because it exposed us to the dangers of the streets. They reversed themselves 10 years or so ago when several crewmembers went missing from even inside hotel rooms. We have city guides giving us local law enfrcement assessments of layover sites. Now, MIA and FLL, it's on the airport property, room service or in the hotel for food. Parts of South Florida may be a playground during the day, but has become a drug infested danger to visitors after dark.
The title of the thread is wtf is wrong with people?
