Meanwhile, Trump is probably noodling around with his sharpie to design an oil drilling rig for the Space Force.

Thankfully our government is worried about immigrants and trans people, so we can lose our shit to China in yet another technology race.

Of course, we’ll have to wait until the full report comes out but I’m 99.99% certain it will have nothing to do with policy or staffing changes that took place 10 days prior.

Naming an airport after the guy that fired 11,000 air traffic controllers is peak republican.

In the economic fairyland that capitalism exists in, a new manufacturer should enter the market and undersell the current players, driving prices and delivery time down and quality up. This probably won’t happen, so US FDs should start looking at sourcing from Europe or Asia.

Not to them. They’re all happily profiting off it, thanks to lobbyists and very generous contributions from these entities, to ensure things stay “Business as Usual”.

The United States’ unwillingness to aggressively enforce anti-trust laws is, in my opinion, the absolute worst economic mistake this politicians from both sides have made, possibly in the history of the country.

Damn, where are all the capitalists *cough* fascists *cough* defending their infallible system?

The ATC recording and transcript was shared within the hour on r/aviation and the tower can be heard instructing the helicopter to maintain visual separation and proceed behind the aircraft. Clearly, that didn’t happen, but as to why, we’ll have to defer to the experts to sort through the mess.

He’s a savage lunatic and goddamn the assholes that voted him in.

I was reading his statement and trying to imagine how he could have said “May god bless their souls” in a way that didn’t sound like he was reading those words for the first time in his life. 

Comments on other boards indicate TCAS notifications are off under a certain altitude on civilian aircraft. I don’t think military helos have TCAS.

I don’t know if this crash will get politicized, but my big fear is that the Trump folks will use the news coverage of this tragedy as cover to do all kinds of evil shit behind the scenes and hope that the media don’t have the bandwidth to expose it. For example, don’t miss out on their just announced plans to…

You joke, but literally a week ago Trump gutted a key airline safety committee.

Im assuming the heli was in the wrong and flying through the literal glideslope for landing on that runway.  Not sure on the rules for that especially it being a military flight.

I just, have no words for this.

Most of the excretion’s bullshit is straight up illegal. Blame the Republicans in all your comments - they MUST own the excretory policies or join the resistance. They remain silent, they get tarred with the same brush - they will go down in history for it. Never stop making sure they know you SEE them.

“complete with automatic lane changes activated using your eyes.”

I do not understand this thing, if I want a bdsm dungeon I would like more space, if I want a car I would like to be able too see out of it whilst driving. I suppose there will be a market for these, somewhere.

You’re seeing kidneys, I’m seeing pig’s snout. A rather pronounced one.
