So he blames himself? Refreshing change of pace there.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 hour ago

Why's he gotta bad talk the president like that.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Report is that one ATC was doing the work that's supposed to be done by two, due to staffing shortages.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

He doesn't actually care who or what is responsible as long as he can tell people it isn't him.

If he had half a brain he would just say investigations are ongoing whenever asked.

No because the plan is to blame literally everything that goes wrong on minorities.

Never give up a good or even bad opportunity to try and throw someone in front of a bus. An opportunity not seized is a opportunity missed.

This is 10000% on Trump and Musk. I give them 30 days of they stay in the country

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 hours ago

Magically, for 16 years none of these issues resulted in this outcome

[–] [email protected] 66 points 5 hours ago

Its like he goes out of his way to project.

Have you ever noticed how absolutely fixated this guy is on assigning people mental issues?

I am officially upgrading that from 🤔 to Ominous.

[–] [email protected] 40 points 4 hours ago

severe intellectual disabilities, psychiatric problems, or other mental or physical conditions

So trump is confirming his numerous physical and mental deficiencies?

[–] [email protected] 176 points 7 hours ago (3 children)

He's going to use this as an excuse to repeal the Americans with Disabilities Act. I'm calling it.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 5 hours ago

it's in project 2025

Nostradamus [Belle] two days ago:

"If they keep the details quiet [of the recent closed-door meeting], you'll be able to tell what they're going after [in the budget] by listening to their rhetoric".

"They'll start scapegoating a demographic, to try and prime the [voter] base to accept their cuts."

(e.g.) "If they start talking about able-bodied people, it's Medicaid."

[–] [email protected] 19 points 5 hours ago

So many rascal driving MAGAots are about to have their face eaten.

Sucks it will affect decent folks.

[–] [email protected] 148 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

Sounds like a good description of the guy who just tried to fire the entire FAA.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 6 hours ago

He might have been looking in a mirror when thinking of what kind of demographic to blame

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 hours ago

The best take

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 hours ago

it could've been

Holy shit. Yeah, and it could also have been you. We don't know right? Just use common sense right?

[–] [email protected] 74 points 6 hours ago

I think I will blame Trump instead. He was dictator on day one. How could the Orange Turd let this happen!

[–] [email protected] 93 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

So he’s accepting personal responsibility?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 7 hours ago

I'm not suggesting he will accept it willingly, we'll have to force it on him, as he is convicted.

[–] [email protected] 65 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago) (1 children)

So no idea of really how the crash happened, don't have black boxes yet. But somehow knows it was dei. Right.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 6 hours ago (5 children)

….

PAT25(?) announced that they have a visual on the CRJ. ATC instructed them to maintain visual separation and then proceed behind the CRJ. They didn’t. No maydays, no panpans.

It’s pilot deviation or pilot error.

What would you be interested in with the black box? If the TAWS warned the CRJ pilots?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

The ATC queries them multiple times if they have visual on the CRJ and they repeatedly respond in the affirmative.

also the published helicopter corridor has them maintain a ceiling of 200 feet, they were well above 350 at the time of the collision.

It's either pilot negligence or instrument failure.

also TCAS is inactive below ~~800~~900 feet.

[–] [email protected] 59 points 6 hours ago (4 children)

Black box is woke dei hire.

wouldn't have happened if white box.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

New EO just dropped. We're calling them white boxes and painting them to prevent future tragedy.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 hours ago

This is even funnier because black boxes are bright orange

TCAS doesn't give resolution advisories (alerts that say to climb or descend to avoid traffic) below 1000'. It does have a warning noise still, but from my understanding it's common for it to go off on approach due to all the other aircraft around and on the ground at the airport, so it may have been ignored.

He’s projecting again

[–] [email protected] 45 points 7 hours ago (15 children)

You killed 67 people, and it's only been a month of your "presidency."

[–] [email protected] 57 points 7 hours ago (4 children)

A month? 10 days, mate. Months have around 30 days, so he still has time to raise that number.

[–] [email protected] 52 points 6 hours ago (3 children)

Holy hell it's only been 10 days

[–] [email protected] 28 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

These 10 days have been the longest decade of my life.

I only said month because even when he wasn't president yet, they were already making moves like he was. But you are correct it's ONLY been 10 fucking days.

I don't even know how you factor in other travesties. Like letting all those J6 criminals out of prison. One of them already had to be put down by a cop during a traffic stop. How do you factor that, when the safest option was to keep them in prison?

[–] [email protected] 25 points 7 hours ago (5 children)

Think of all the covid deaths, place responsibility where it belongs, right in his lap. 1000 deaths on average per week, I don't have the long covid disabilities numbers 'off the top of my head', but they are even more.

Keep insulting the air traffic controllers that allow AF1 to land safely...

[–] [email protected] 35 points 7 hours ago

Helicopters go up. Helicopters go down. They go up. They go down.

It's time to preorder Trump's guide to being a good conservative: "Everything bad that happens is the fault of the people I hate"

[–] [email protected] 31 points 7 hours ago

More Trump projection.
