Elected Rep. Andy Ogles was on the news questioning if DEI played a role. On. The. News. Totally not CR.

Glad that’s cleared up

I don’t know why I am surprised based on the current dumb ass world we live in but I still can’t get over how many people think this was an intentional act by the Helo crew.

I don’t believe you have considered the possibility that military personnel with plastic spray bottles we’re negligently focused on spraying vinegar at the jet contrails.

Lot of people are just ignorant, been that way forever though unfortunately many now have voices that can spread online.

Negligence/incompetence/human error is the most likely culprit, it’s unfortunately just a part of life and all we can hope is our air traffic “system” learns from this and makes changes so that next time we go double or triple the 15 years we went since our last commercial accident like this. Hopefully this is the last accident like this any of us see in our lifetime on US soil.

A figure skater was denied from boarding the flight that ended in a fatal collision with a military helicopter near Washington, D.C.on Wednesday because his pet dog was too big, according to Russian state media.

Jon Maravilla told RIA Novosti that he was informed, during check-in, that his dog could not be carried on the flight because of size restrictions. Unable to board the plane, he departed by car.

A U.S. junior bronze medalist in pairs, Maravilla was scheduled to take American Airlines Flight 5342 from Wichita, Kansas to Washington, D.C.

Are you hardwired for conspiracy theories? Genuinely would like to know why you think that is more probably than a fuck up in an air corridor with heavy traffic.

There are in fact people who seem to be hardwired for conspiracy theories, and social media has made it easier for them to connect with others who reinforce their beliefs, and to also read batshit conspiracy theories.  In the past, the village idiots were confined to their villages and the other villagers kept them in check.  Now they have a firehose of bullshit hitting them in the face, while at the same time wielding their own firehouses of bullshit.

For a lot of them, it makes their lives interesting and exciting when they think they have inside knowledge that most people don’t, like they are in a Hollywood movie.

Welp. The President of the United States says the last guy and diversity is to blame. Nevermind whatever facts or details might be found by a formal investigation. Get right ahead to the @Hate (name is too ironic not to tag in this context of bemoaning "CR"ing the topic)

What a fucking piece of racist, lying, gaslighting shit. 

This ghoul will blame ATC 100%for this (which is fairly clearly  a helicopter pilot error), and use it as s weapon to privatize it entirely.

So is a presidential news conference on the matter news? Or are we required to ignore his words because cr?

Is there no kept voice recording for military aircraft when you are in civilian or non-combat areas?

He should be.  Dozens are dead.  This isn't to minimize what a monumental fuck up this is, just that it's a reach to call it a conspiracy.

Could you imagine if Biden was suggesting the crash happened because the soldiers (who are now dead) were white?

want to reiterate that there's a clear bifurcation happening here

IT WAS THE GAYS 

I get the bifurcation between fact news and the media circus although it will require that the President of the United States be considered part of the media circus and not a source of anything useful in understanding the crash and that alone is a sad indictment of our country.

He's also very literally the head and commander in chief of the organization that crashed into the civilian air liner

That's weird, because platforms that allow people to post retarded political hot takes like twitter seem to be thriving just fine. Maybe we should open it up.

It has to be a kick to the nuts of the ATC community to have POTUS hold a press conference and throw their entire profession under the bus. I can’t imagine that will be good for morale or safety.

The reason this site stopped growing is peoples insistence on corralling every post. Feelings get hurt and posters start crying Off Topic and it stunts conversation. 

The very best threads and content this site ever produced were free flowing general type threads like urban meyer

Instead of just scrolling past things that hurt our feelings, we go tell the teacher and and whine until he takes the bad thoughts away.

Then we turn around and talk about how everyone else exists in their echo chambers

Could a helo fly into a target moving that fast if they wanted to?

or are they saying someone in ATC put the 2 aircraft on a collision course?

Federal government officials making official statements on the cause of plane crash involving a military aircraft is now apparently "political."  We are so fucked as a country.

The fucking President of the United States is publicly blaming this plane crash on DEI and yet we aren't allowed to discuss that because ... reasons.

this isn't political, this is in the DT. 

I'm going to start enforcing this pretty harshly. I don't want any more crying about CR in the DT - if you think something is CR report it. Do not report multiple posts, report a post and say that it's a political discussion derail, a mod will look at it and split into a CR thread if necessary. 

Elected officials injecting themselves into the news cycle IS NOT POLITICS.

I missed the part where you weren't allowed to discuss anything and where this was in CR.
