    Note: It takes a serious fuck up for something like this to happen. Get ready for 100x excuses as to why they can’t provide the details quickly.

      Until we know why, the most prudent course of action is to place the blame on the commander in chief of all the military. As they bar the highest level of responsibility.

          So let’s preemptively blame Trump.

          Why doesn’t he care about the troops?

          How could this be allowed to happen under Trumps presidency?

          You pretty much called it:

          He also claimed, seemingly without evidence, that former President Joe Biden had lowered the standard for hiring air traffic controllers, which he said was raised to the “highest standard that you could have” during his first administration in 2016.

          # Trump suggests ‘dwarves, amputees and epileptics’ are ‘DEI hires’ and not qualified for Air Traffic Control positions

          Trump highlighted a series of articles covering the FAA’s “diversity push,” saying they were actively recruiting workers who “suffer severe intellectual disabilities, psychiatric problems, and other mental and physical conditions.”

          Trump included examples of some of the disabilities and conditions that are listed on the FAA’s website, including individuals missing extremities, paralysis, severe intellectual disability, psychiatric disability and dwarfism, among others.

          He said: “'The FAA website states they include hearing, vision, missing extremities, partial paralysis, complete paralysis, epilepsy, severe intellectual disability, psychiatric disability and dwarfism all qualified for the position of a controller of air planes pouring into our country, pouring into a little spot. A little dot on the map. A runway.”

    Both flight paths have been provided now.

    I had assumed the heli took off from/was flying around the east bank by the base marker on that map. Didn’t realize it came from the north with the two aircraft more or less facing each other.

    What the hell… How did neither aircraft see each other? Visually and on instruments.

    I’ve never been into false flag conspiracy type shit but if there was ever a time for the US government to orchestrate horrible events to keep the masses occupied it would be while Trump does the most damage to the world of any American in history outside of maybe the guy who came up with leaded gasoline.
