    Must have been a terrifying five to ten seconds for those on board. Good thing it didn't last long I guess.

    I don't know if it was even that long. The concussive force from that hit either knocked out or killed most of the people onboard.

    Jesus Christ...that's just terrifying to watch at that angle. The plane just tumpled straight down with no change of pilot last attempt of maneuverability.

    could you please identify the "white guy" who was piloting the helo?

    also, how was the FAA gutted?

    This is bullshit.

    This tragedy had nothing to do with DEI. Any attempt to suggest that it did, as the President callously did yesterday, is grotesquely inappropriate and completely detached from reality.

    Imagine being so obsessed with your administration’s anti-DEI crusade that you’re willing to speculate wildly without facts, politicize a tragedy, undermine an investigation, and degrade the hard work of our nation’s air traffic controllers.

    That is precisely what these clowns are doing.

    qualified candidates have been rejected due to prior admin DEI policies, and as a result, the FAA is understaffed. that's the point the admin was making, and it's a reasonable one.

    but IMO, it's not the right time to make this point.

    Just wait for the next 9-11 terrorist attack guys. After mass firing TSA agents in the name of "government efficiency."

    No commercial flight terrorist attacks in 20 years. That record will be broken during Trump's presidency.

    Elon and Trump don't care because they don't fly commercial. All you MAGAs think you're safe :rolleyes:
