Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News

Delta flight DL5047, a Bombardier CRJ-900LR (N480PX), and Delta flight DL5155, a Bombardier CRJ-900LR (N902XJ) were involved in a ground collision at LGA. DL5047 was taxiing to the apron after arrival while DL5155 was taxiing for departure when the collision occurred. The right-hand wing of N902XJ was torn off in the impact. A flight attendant suffered a minor injury and no passenger injuries were reported. The flight attendant was transported to a nearby hospital out of precaution. Both flights are operated by Endeavor Air, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Delta Air Lines. US aviation safety under the Dummkopf Trumpf junta has demonstrably decreased since he assumed power in Jan 2025. DOGE cuts to the FAA budget affected staffing and technological updates, and now the government shutdown will add to America's unsafe skies. Trumpf's FAA chief is an airline executive and political donor who lied about his commercial flying hours experience.

With Sean Duffy's inexperienced hands gripping the wheel next to Trump's (unconnected to a rudder), what could possibly go wrong?

Maybe firing people involved in air traffic and ground traffic control was a bad idea.

It's a tale as old as time.

Republic*nts campaign on "the government is broken" and when they win, proceed to make it worse.

" I guess the helicopter was high. And we'll find out exactly what happened. But the odds, even if you had nothing, if you had nobody, the odds of that happening" extremely small. It's like, did you ever see, you go to a driving range in golf and you're hitting balls, hundreds of balls, thousands of hours. I never see a ball hit another ball? Balls going up all over the place. You never see 'em hit. It was amazing that that could happen."
