On a Sunday afternoon at one of the nation's most congested airports, a United Boeing 767 completing a transatlantic journey from Venice made contact with a light pole along the New Jersey Turnpike during its descent into Newark — a moment that transforms a routine landing into a question about how thinly the margin between sky and ground has been drawn. The FAA has confirmed the incident and will investigate, but the deeper inquiry is already forming: in an urban airspace where highways and runways share the same narrow geography, how much clearance is truly enough?
