OMG what deflection! Small plane crashes are like car crashes. Commercial jets are what people travel in and under Biden there were zero deaths. No planes ran into helicopters. No planes flip over on the runway. 64 people are dead and then 18 people injured in the flip over. Shit is falling apart under President Dumbo.
More deflection. Commercial jets are falling out of the sky under Trump. Nothing like this happened in four years under Biden and in 4 weeks we have a downed commercial jet and another one flipped over. It’s chaos. Airlines are reporting falling bookings and polls show trust falling. Americans’ confidence in air travel safety falls after Washington plane crash: AP-NORC poll
Let's see: Declared himself to be king and above the laws. Has pushed prices higher. Threatened to take Greenland by military force. Cuddled up with Russia while alienating our longest and closest allies. Started a feud with Canada, of all people. Fired so many government workers that the government has had to try to find some and beg them to come back. Continued his nonstop litany of lies about everything from Social Security to condoms in Gaza to who started the Ukraine war. But he hasn't rounded up Democrats and hauled them off to camps. So you figured he hasn't been too bad? Pretty low bar you've set there, isn't it?
@flgator2 when can we expect you to come in and make a correction to your post since you gave inaccurate information?
@flgator2 is killing em softly. So sad to see what I thought were grown men in here…and they cry like 3rd graders not getting their way.
I would actually like to know this. I suspect that this might be a random statistical anomaly but I honestly have no idea.
I'm sure there is something of a "Streisand Effect" here, but if you make a big show of cutting FAA jobs and claim safe air travel is back that's kinda your fault lol
In the month of February there were 66 plane accidents in the US resulting in at least 6 deaths. Here is the link from the NTSB and you can search by month if you want. I did have to go through and manually count them up. https://data.ntsb.gov/carol-main-public/query-builder?month=1&year=2024
I cannot remember specifically who it was but it was a poster that had been around Too Hot for a bit. Edit: I checked my blocked list and remembered.
You cannot make this stuff up. A helicopter pilot almost certainly makes an error and Trump is responsible for the worst aviation disaster in decades in the US. You just can't make this up. Well it is our resident liberals. SMH lol!
The facts are commercial flying is infinitely less safe now. That is a fact and reflected in people's opinion and spending. What a disaster of a start.
Bill - Definitions are helpful here: FACT - anything that sheds a bad light on Trump LIES - Anything that sheds a good light on Trump. Clear?
While Trump wasn't at fault, a number of his supporters didn't hesitate to blame DEI because the helicopter pilot was a female. It also wouldn't surprise me if Musk's meataxe approach to reducing the number of federal employees by terminating probationary employees didn't end up axing air traffic controllers in training or at the beginning of their careers. While it wouldn't make a difference at airports like DCA immediately it could exacerbate shortages down the road.
