      Pediatric patient among 6 on plane that crashed in Northeast Philadelphia: ‘It was just horrific’

      So… A child? What the fuck is this headline?

      The headline was weird to me at first, but it WAS an air ambulance… I guess it makes more sense than I gave it credit for.

      Imagine there’s no rallies at the white house in protest yet.

      Shocking how little this country cares.

      I’ve not yet had it happen to my family or anyone I know, but there’s nothing America would push for if it meant singling out a creed.

      COVID-19 was detected in China? Clearly they’re disgusting, we need to limit imports! Have fox news make citizens commit hate crimes to any East asian!

      Israel is attack Palestinians again? Arab people deserved it for 9/11! Arrest those who want less bloodshed!

      Black people are rioting for their rights after murderers getting off scott free? Monsters! TVs are more important than human lives! Fund the police!

      9/11 happened? Ban all Arabs! Anyone with a turban is the enemy! Speak American as we erode your rights to catch the next terrorist!

      Pearl Harbor?! Detain every Japanese citizen into camps! Steal everything from them and never give it back!

      America claims to love freedom and be a melting pot but man does it love to use those for justifying hatred to the current target minority scapegoat of this week’s 2 minutes of hate.

    “in the 5th month of the new presidency, planes and helicopters were crashing like it was part of the schedule. But do not worry, for the administration had set up a lifeguard station, where the lifeguards would attend up and point at every crash while yelling out «DEI» and all was well”.

      The plane crashes and surge in popularity of Nazi rhetoric suck and all, but stay focused on the important things: we stopped that trans kid from playing tennis against real boys!! Worth it, right?!

        I thought the real thing was keeping Kamala from genociding Palestine? At least they’re ok now since people stayed home or protest voted.

      Its a Learjet, which is now bought by Bombardier. The other plane crash earlier this week was also a Bombardier. Coincidence? 🤔

      We might have another contender to the role of “Worst Plane Manufacturer”

      Edit: To be fair, the other incident also involved a helicopter, we don’t know which was at fault, and it could be pilot error, rather than mechanical failure.

        Respectfully, for the DCA incident, a military helicopter LITERALLY RAMMED INTO A JET THAT WAS 4 SECONDS FROM LANDING. There was no mechanical error.

        The consensus on r/aviation is that it was the helicopter pilot’s error, and it was a long time coming with the near-misses that have happened at that airport. Considering a lot of the people on that subreddit are actual pilots/military people/have access to ATC chatter, I’m gonna trust their opinions more.

        I don’t usually recommend going to reddit, but the r/aviation megathreads after the Jeju Air crash and then these two incidents were very informative. Plus the mods + community work very hard to keep away ignorant comments and conspiracy nuts.

        Could you explain like I’m an idiot how the Bomardier CRJ colliding with a UH60 was the a mechanical or design fault with the Bombardier CRJ? This is an interesting and unique take that I haven’t heard before and I want you to explain it more.

    The big concern if crashes increase will be that people won’t fly as much, which will hurt airline and hospitality industry profits.

      Huh, I would’ve guessed that the big concern if crashes increase would be that more people would die.

      Of course, how could I forget about profits! /j
