A Walnut Creek man was uninjured but undoubtedly rattled after the single-engine plane he was co-piloting ditched into a cornfield Wednesday morning after failing to gain enough altitude in a takeoff from Aurora Municipal Airport in Illinois.

The plane was piloted by Dan Bagget, 66, of Mountain View, and the copilot was Rod Kenner, 65, of Walnut Creek, according to an account on the website of NBC 5 in Chicago.

How about you research the current ADA guidelines regarding surface materials for play areas?…Read More Walnut Creek is simply acting to be in compliance. Not sure where you get the idea that wood chips are "much more dangerous". A reasonable overview of the current regulations can be found here: http://risk.utah.gov/newsletter/documents/playground_surfacing.pdf If you disagree with the regulations, please contact your representatives.
