    Comments have been fair from actual pilots. We don't know all the details yet.

    It looked like the landing gear failed from the clip but who knows so far...

    Exactly. We don't know. I don't trust anything Lame Ghost says.

    I’ll probably be 5 beers and 10 shots in before I get on my next flight in 2 weeks.

    I’m flying to Thailand in a couple of weeks. To be honest I’m a little concerned. Sh** seems crazy out there.

    Don't be. When you look at this website https://www.flightradar24.com , it shows just how many planes are in the air at all times. It adds perspective: It's always the plane that crashes that makes the news. There are never any headlines that say "600 flights took off and landed, with 0 injuries today".

    No problem…

    I fly these things for a living (737 Captain for a US Major Air carrier that isn’t Southwest)….

    Don’t get caught up with the news cycle. Usually when there is a Aviation accident/major incident the news latches onto any and all aviation incidents… Then they parade out so called aviation experts have no clue on what the **** that they are talking about.

    Don’t get caught up with Aviation influencers either either. Their goal is to drive traffic to their page for likes, clicks, and subscribers as well….

    This why all the none aviation folks screaming DEI this and that about pilot training and qualifications annoys the **** out of me….

    Maybe being a Libertarian isn't the best way to govern huh? Who wouldve known that you can't blindly fire thousands of FAA workers without consequences
