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.

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. https://www.thedailybeast.com/figure-skater-jon-maravilla-reveals-he-missed-doomed-dc-flight-because-of-his-dog/ Tell him not to watch Final Destination.

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.

January 30Jan 30 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.

We are so fucked as a country. 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. 1 minute ago, Chuckie Finster said: Just fucking rename this forum "MAGA Central" and get it over with.
