It was a bombardier (Canadian) plane btw
Canadian manufacturer, but took off from Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA. I assume a maintenance issueis the cause, but that may be a poir explanation.
It is a poor explanation, because all signs point to pilot error in manual landing compounded by weather. 33kt cross wind gusts, coming in fast to accommodate for if the gusts disappear, and not flaring soon enough and not leveling out because of crabbing the cross wind which was blowing snow across the runway giving poor visibility of the runway itself. But we’ll see the investigation results.
Mhm. Yep. Ohhh. I know some of these words.
I think reverse might happen as well. Airlines from other countries might refuse to fly to USA.
Both: Airlines from other countries refuse to fly in US airspace because of dangerous ATC and planes from the US are refused entrance in the airspace of other countries because the FAA isn't trusted to enforce proper maintenance schedules on planes from US companies and other countries don't want the additional cases of planes falling from the sky or crashing on landing that would result from de facto unregulated air travel safety in the US.
Also Boeing sales would suffer if the FAA was officially deemed in other countries to not have equivalence with their local air-travel regulators when it came to oversight of plane manufacturing because it wasn't actually doing the job of preserving the safety of air-travel.
He is speedrunning isolation if this happens. US and EU relations are already at their breaking point after. Threatening to go to war with Denmark and his Ukraine visit.
putins plan is working perfectly, causing disorginzation in america, and the rest of world, so they cant concentrate on things like ukraine and putins internal politics.

I vote we let Boeing design a brand new plane for Trump. Make sure it has all the bells and whistles. Add a co pilot seat for Musk.
Your mention of a co pilot reminds me, Boeing should add AI to such a vehicle! It would surely enhance Trump's experience.
So much so, it should be tied directly into the flight controls, to make sure it's as smooth a ride as possible.
The plane was Bombardier, not Boeing. Bombardier is Canadian even. But l don’t think the plane was any cause of the crash as i laid it in other comment in this thread
The CRJ line have always had pretty shitty safety records (comparatively speaking). I try to only fly Airbus, but I'm about 99% resolved to not fly anywhere under Trump's FAA.
Boeing is the only true American company, it has what the pilots crave
Americans will never see any real progress in their lifetimes as long as the Democratic party in its current incarnation stands intact.
Conservatives are by their nature evil and reactionary, but also simultaneously eternal and temporary. They are a society's dead skin being shed before the new form emerges, its cocoon of petulant narcissism refusing to accept reality.
The problem with neoliberal Democrats is that they don't realize that they're conservative too, and as such must be shed.
Democratic party suddenly becomes a full-blown socialist party, complete with an anti-capitalist manifesto. Imagine
Republicans would win every election for at least 2 generations.
IDK, Sanders did pretty well on that Fox News appearance. If suddenly there weren't both sides telling people to hate the left, you might be surprised at the results.
Indeed. It is the USA after all
That's what they thought about Trump back when. Turned out many people want to dismantle status quo
You mean instead of the current plan of keeping control by corruption and cheating until Americans finally rise up and kill them all?
Blaming Dems, when we could have had so much progress because of them since 2000 if gore had been granted his win, is the reason we got trump.
People and posts like you and yours are part of the problem. You spend all your energy fighting the only party trying to help you at all right now and for the past 25 years.
This isn't about Dems this is about shortsighted electorate like you.
Calling neolibs conservatives is fucking hilarious and sad.
Neoliberalism is right wing though, you have American brainrot. America is so far right wing (fascist) you cant even see it.
if gore had been granted his win
Yes, he was the actual winner
Blaming Dems [...] is the reason we got trump.
Lol, lmao even.
You spend all your energy fighting the only party trying to help you at all right now and for the past 25 years.
Yeah they've been doing a bang up job of it.
Literally every tactic employed by Trump could have been employed by a Dem who actually wanted to enact positive change, as well as expanding and packing the supreme court with loyalists. You know, if they didn't have dementia and weren't being "Weekend at Bernie's'ed" by party functionaries.
This isn't about Dems this is about shortsighted electorate like you.
"The Democrat Party can never fail, they can only be failed."
Calling neolibs conservatives is fucking hilarious and sad.
I only wish I could see your face when you look up the word "neoliberal"
Both the funniest and most wished for idea this year!
That is not luck, that is by design, there's a lot of engineering done to ensure airplane crashes has as high survival rate as it can. Unfortunately, there's no such design on the political system as a whole.
Checks and balances, but those are gone now
This is genius haha
Me, too, James. Me, too.
Ah yes. Genocide is always fine with the far-left wackos, as long as it suits their purposes.
Lol, you’ve spent so much time trying to separate yourselves from reason and empathy you now consider yourself an entirely different ethnic group?
Which part of the image advances genocide? What is it in the post that you think suits the purpose of far left wackos?
Even the enlightened centrist, Biden, made time to embrace genocide. It sucks no matter who’s doing it
Found the fascist.
Well, when your purpose is to save our countries and planet, I can absolutely get behind it.
Idk man in that analogy our plane never flies ever again and is just a smoking fucked up broken mess where it was supposed to land. Doesn't seem that great lol
Why does every moment needs to be seized by you fucks?
Points at the giant burning dumpster fire that is the current American government and the dynamic duo pouring more jet fuel into the dumpster.
Maybe go outside and look around and you wont need strangers on Lemmy to tell you lmao
"HAHA RIGHT BAD! TRUMP BAD!" - Lemmy, R-ddit
More like -reality
He is not even Libertarian, he is 'Intimately' entwined with Israel.
...what? Who? 🤨 Trump? Of course Trump is heavily invested in Israel; Israel kinda-sorta advances Western culture/values in the Middle East & is massively propped up by the United States. I believe Israel would have a hard time existing without US support.
Not saying it's a good or bad thing, but calling it as it is. Trump is, indeed, intimately entwined with Israel.
(See also)- the rest of the entire world
People are already not surviving, literally and figuratively, the time has long since come and gone to "hope" the problem isn't real. The problem very much here, and it is absolutely going to kill us unless we do something about it right fucking now.
