This time in Scottsdale..wth is going on? Arizona Plane Crash: Here’s What We Know As Jets Collide At Scottsdale Airport The Scottsdale Airport in Arizona was closed Monday afternoon after a jet veered off the runway into another aircraft, killing at least one person and hospitalizing three others, according to multiple outlets. The plane collision occurred around 2:30 p.m. MST and was confirmed by the Scottsdale Airport. At least one person died in the incident, according to ABC 15, which noted three people were hospitalized and another was trapped inside one of the planes as of 4:30 p.m. MST.
This is what you get when you hire reality tv stars (star is definitely a stretch) with no actual experience for the role…
Looks like these were private planes, crashes among private planes are pretty common. Over 400 people die a year from them, Alaska alone (because I know you have an affinity for it) averages 9 or 10 fatal crashes a year alone. But they all get press now after the last two incidents. Having said that, there is a ATC shortage nationally, if all this helps bring attention to it that’s a small positive from an otherwise bad few weeks.
There were 47 plane accidents in Jan. 2024 resulting in 12 deaths in the US last year alone. I wonder why we didn't hear about all of them last year? https://data.ntsb.gov/carol-main-public/query-builder?month=1&year=2024
Honestly, if this were not Vince Neil's jet, I doubt that anyone would have heard about it. Accidents at Scottsdale were not that uncommon when I lived out there. And, not that the life lost is valued any less, but, I just do not get as interested over private jet accidents due to how little those root causes usually overlap with commercial air travel.
That was not a private plane that crashed in Alaska. It was a commercial airline that has been flying in the worst of the worst conditions since 1979 with not a single fatal accident. And it falls out of the sky right after DC Not blaming it on anyone but it seems to be happening more often this past month. Well aware of the ATC situation. Schooling, debt internships, all to start at $50k a year in some airport in Kansas of their choosing and deal with the stress and required extra hours. They seriously need to up their pay scale to get kids that can pass the aptitude tests, the drug tests, and the schooling to become ATC's.
numbers. a couple here and there doesn't make the news. a 100 here, a dozen there does. commercial airlines do
Since Vince Neil's name was not mentioned in the link in the OP, I doubt that was the reason this thread was started.
When did 100 die? So you posted a link about 1 non commercial airplane incident with 1 death, that doesn't match up with your last post.
I was taking about Scottsdale specifically. I was saying that after two accidents (that seem to be very much unrelated however tragic) everything gets attention. It’s like when there’s a shark attack and every other shark incident gets reported for months despite the fact that they are relatively common if usually relatively minor. Then quietly the reports stop once the panic subsides. Or the Boeing thread here that showed even an engine loss or tire blow out, again common events that happen all the time, were making the news regularly after some legitimately worrying events. It’s just human nature. And private plane crashes are fairly common. I was pointing out that Alaska especially sees a lot of them and they never make the news. We will get a few months of these stories, then they will quietly fade too, barring another commercial incident.
sorry, what was the exact dc death count? 70? forgive my ignorance 9/11 was last time 2 commercial planes crash within a month of each other. 23 + years
It is literally in the headline of almost every story on the internet, up to and including your propaganda friends at Faux News.
By the way, early reports on this one that the plane might have landed on the taxiway potentially. Video seems to make that very plausible.
The article provided no background information on the pilot so how can you conclude the pilot was not qualified ir are you implying the maintenance crew was at fault due to the landing gear failure?
Common sense. I mean, yes - you asked more than one question, so that's a weird answer from me. But you are fine with the actual POTUS answering in the same nonsensical way, so certainly you won't mind here, right? And never mind that he answered with gibberish in order to fabricate a false opportunity to blame DEI. Most people would characterize what he did as basically telling a racist lie. Which, of course, Trump supporters don't object to.
