Qantas doesn't own the flight path either?



Oh common?! Do you own the travel path when driving down the highway? No you don't but there are agreed upon and codified rules on right of way that protect your right to safe passage or navigation. Similar convention applies to air space and air travel, look up Annex 2: Rules of the Air by ICAO which outlines right of way principles for air travel


What does it say has right of way between a rocket stage, that cannot be steered, and aircraft, that can?


The FAA confirmed that debris fell outside designated areas, temporarily disrupting air traffic and causing several aircraft to divert or delay flights.

This is just trash. Debris as they call it.

If drive in front of you on a highway and throw some "debris" out of the window, will you enjoy it ?


Will I enjoy it? What's that got to do with anything?
