A girl that had just received treatment was onboard the plane.

This is a horrible tragedy, and it's compounded by the terrible loss of life yesterday.

Trump didn't skip a beat on destroying America, though, did he?

#17 - damn you and your "facts!"

#113 - read the thread. Pay attention to all the places that stupid shht you just posted was shown to be complete garbage. If you then have something intelligent to say, then please do so.

We have NEVER recovered from Reagan firing all the air traffic controllers on strike.

We hired more air traffic controllers in 2024 than any year in the past decade. INCLUDING under Trump.

You are a liar and a racist. Society would be better off if you never left your hole in the ground.

Thank you, Sycophant!

My current opini0on is that there are not enough air traffic controllers.

It is a very tough job, with stringent requirements. Pay is good - if you make it and stay with it for a few years.
You have to start before you're 31, your career is over by 56, no later.
Starting salary $60k.
Very specialized training, high hurdles, and lots of stress with the job.
I'm pretty sure I have the above correct and it hasn't changed.

but the third crew member, female, who was the pilot, remains unnamed.
Very interesting. What are they trying to hide?

Who is they? The family? That's an easy answer, since it's her family that's refusing to release her name. Tell me you can figure this out. It's really simple. Stop here and think for a few minutes before reading the next paragraph...

Have you figured it out, yet?

Trump just went out there, blamed the military, blamed DEI, blamed ATC, blamed the FAA, Biden, Obama, people of color, disabled people and women - and you want her family to put the bullseye on themselves and her with all you fccked up looney tunes wackjobs foaming at the mouth?

Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy said he is monitoring the crash in Philadelphia and heading to the FAA to get information.

Sec't Duffy is expected to say "what happened yesterday shouldn't have happened today, it should not have happened. And when Americans take off in airplanes they should expect to land at their destination. Not at a shopping mall. That didn't happen today. Or yesterday. That's unacceptable."

The President's leadership uh has been remarkable during this crisis uh...that is the motto of your presidency the best and the brightest the most intelligent coming into these spaces uh... we are going to get to the bottom of this investigation."

Also yesterday the heliocopter and the plane - they were "in a standard pattern."
The word is "pattern", not 'patterin.'
There are only two syllables in 'pattern.'
Someone please let our new Sec't know.

Actually not.
This is stunningly stupid, Bill. Seriously. Stunning.

You're getting facts mixed up.

This amnesty program was under Obama.

I'm not talking about Trump. I was referring to some changes made under Obama that give the appearance of dei and would justify why Trump indicated as such.

You are confused and wrong. I suggest you get the facts before attempting to correct me. You are trumpeting Trump's lies with your misinformed nonsense, Bill:

(T)he Wayback Machine retains links from June 2017 and January 2021 that show the FAA page was unchanged during Trump's tenure. The list included:
Hearing (total deafness in both ears)
Vision (Blind)
Missing Extremities
Partial Paralysis
Complete Paralysis, Epilepsy
Severe intellectual disability
Psychiatric disability
Dwarfism

The June 2019 webpage for the Aviation Development Program (ADP) " also now removed but still visible on the Wayback Machine " said the program "provides an opportunity for Persons with Targeted Disabilities (PWTD) to gain aviation knowledge and experience as an air traffic control student trainee." Participants would get up to one year of experience in an Air Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC), with a possibility of getting a temporary appointment at the FAA Academy.

In August 2021, the FAA announced that one of the first three ADP candidates graduated from the FAA Academy and became an official air traffic control trainee. "Twelve candidates are in the pipeline for the ADP, pending completion of the clearance process," the agency said. "Candidates must first pass the Air Traffic Skills Assessment (ATSA), followed by the security and medical clearance process."

LuftWaffles never got over the surrender.
(sad face)

On the bright side, Luftyboy - you get to experience the rise of the 4th Reich in person this time!

Do you think MAGA and WCN is going to make it very far before the American people send it back to hell?

Do you know that the website Trump scrubbed removing all the "DEI" wording was the same under Trump's first term?

To be clear for all our MAGAs: This DEI policy Trump was ranting on and on about was enacted in 2019, under Trump.

It continues to have nothing to do with this crash.

Gulf of Mexico, not the Indian Ocean*

It pretty well provides Trump with a reason to suspect dei initiatives may be part of the problem.

DEI is not the problem. At all. That's ridiculous.
Do you know how many ATCs are white?
How many pilots are White?
Do you know that the website Trump scrubbed removing all the "DEI" wording was the same under Trump's first term?
Did you?
Do you know that the ability to do the job is and always has been first and foremost?
Do you know what it takes to become an ATC?

Do you know why the head of the FAA is gone?
Because Musk's rockets blew up and rained shht all over flights going over the Indian Ocean, so he got a "no fly" order until safety could be reasonably guaranteed. That made Musk furious and demanded the his head.

Do you know what Musk said of all the debris falling from his blown up space craft that was wreaking havoc on flights?
"Entertaining" I think was the word.

Only the best - just look at who he's putting on his cabinet, or the head of the FBI (Geezus kriest!), or the DNI, or HHS.
I am stunned at how spectacularly horrible and wretched Trump and the GOP are doing so far.

Sean Duffy - our new Captain Obvious.
God that was painful listening to him.
Followed by Hegseth, then Vance.

No value added, and their tongues were so far up Trump's -------- it wasn't trump tongue you saw when he spoke.

You're an idiot, Gracie. And a compulsive liar.

And the enthusiastic full throated Trump ass licking by Duffy, Hegseth, and Vance was the cherry.

#23 - ---- off, loser.
You don't get to put words in my mouth.
You can't even make a cogent argument.
You can't even figure out context.

GFY.

Holy shht.
Trump's press conference?
Trump is evil.
I am serious.
To his core.
A psychopath.
He is sick.

Nothing but lies.
Lies and more death.
From the "pro-life" party.

Karoline Leavitt says that?

Karoline Leavitt was incredibly painful to listen to. It was awful, and cringe-worthy, stream of lies, the biggest being she was there to present only the truth. I will never have that time back that I listened to that inveterate liar.

Damn.
Courts and public pressure might just save this buffoon.

On the bright side, we're better off because of it.

I'm not. That's true.
Don't much care because he's already been afforded MASSIVE privilege.
But you can be as upset with how mean the police are to white people as you wish to be.
I already said I've experienced it personally in my own life and seen it.
I also said I'm damn glad I'm white because of it.

Haha! Trump just rescinded his federal funding freeze because he got the shht beat out of him!

Oh - and he's an insurrectionist, freed by a criminal, so I just view this as poetic justice.
