Just heard on the news that 24 hrs. before this crash another commercial airliner had a near collision with a helicopter and had to abort his landing.... I mean WTF are helicopters flying in the approach patterns for commercial airliners...

I just don’t understand this whole thing. Number 1… What are the chances that a chopper is flying at precisely the same altitude as an incoming plane… Not only at the same altitude, but also at the same moment needed to strike the plane? And number 2… How does the helicopter pilot (s) NOT see the incoming plane before smashing into it? Choppers are pretty fuggin nimble, relatively speaking. That thing should’ve been able to stop or pull up to avoid the plane with very little warning.

Watching the video footage, I just can’t wrap my head around the fact the chopper flew DIRECTLY into that plane without any noticeable effort of avoidance.

I'm surprised that since the plane wreckage is resting in approx. 8 ft. of water they haven't brought in a crane to lift it up so that they can remove the bodies that still remain in the twisted wreckage... Would be so much easier than diving down in that cold water...

This where Trump falls short in my book. He didn't have to say what he said about race and gender yesterday. He politized a tragedy and JD doubled down on it today. We hate on the left for this, then our guy does it and it's OK because, fuck being woke. I wish he'd have addressed it differently, but agree with the others, somethings fishy here.

Agreed, but then again it’s what he does…. Always has, always will….

He better have substantial evidence or inside solid information before throwing out any speculation. The left throws out the race/gender card on everything to whereas the public is tired of it and doesn’t fall for it anymore. The leftist mainstream media grabbed it and of course made news of it that the two pilots were white but that still doesn’t mean DEI wasn’t the protocol for the hire.
Trump causes himself more headaches by doing things like this, 🤦🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

It may not be the case here, but historically, every time he has said something I thought was his Rubicon… the son of a gun turned out to be correct.
