the first fatal commercial plane crash in 16 years happened just days after Trump froze hiring of air traffic controllers that were already stretched thin

Of course they’re going to roll over. Their oligarch OWNERS will fire them if they practice actual journalism.

freezed00.bsky.social•24 days ago

def gonna roll over

radarnick.bsky.social•24 days ago

@elienyc.bsky.social, as a retired Air Traffic Controller and now a training contractor at the ATC Academy, I can assure you this has nothing to do with Elonalds new directives. From the early things I'm hearing, this is going to end up being human error on the helicopter pilots.

dawnddurante.bsky.social•24 days ago

Please hold off for a bit. Don’t be like them.

elienyc.bsky.social•24 days ago

Asking a question about whether Trump’s manifestly dangerous policies led to an avoidable disaster is not “being like them”

dawnddurante.bsky.social•24 days ago

They jump to investigations when hardly anything is known (at least that’s my experience.)

elienyc.bsky.social•24 days ago

The job of the press is to hold power accountable and search for the truth.

dawnddurante.bsky.social•24 days ago

Ok. My other incoming posts don’t look like that. Of course hold truth to power. But can we get some info on deaths, etc 1st?

janiejo.bsky.social•24 days ago

Can y'all imagine the press corps yelling at Biden if this had happened under HIS watch?!?

hkfinan.bsky.social•24 days ago

Not to mention the chaos and stress federal workers likely are dealing with because of his actions.

msw599.bsky.social•24 days ago

I can't imagine how much pressure these federal employees are under, thanks to the incompetence and lawlessness of the new trump administration. 💩

maryannct.bsky.social•24 days ago

I’m going with the latter.

ofhuman.bsky.social•24 days ago

Waiting to see who the moron in chief will "blame" for this.

kajo503.bsky.social•24 days ago

No, Duffy will probably blame former Secretary Pete Buttigieg for this tragedy. Blanket pardons for anything Trump touches, blanket blaming for anything the current admin doesn't want to take responsibility for.

aprimo224.bsky.social•24 days ago

They will 10000% roll over. Jim Acosta wouldn't have.

robyn.bsky.social•24 days ago

Well I’m not going to shut up about it. Real work needs to be done, not his showboat unconstitutional orders! Trump again broke his oath within hours!

hlobrowns.bsky.social•24 days ago

My guess is roll over for trump like saps.

silentsportsguy.bsky.social•24 days ago

My money’s on the latter.

thirstypete.bsky.social•24 days ago

We shall see, but I’m not holding my breath. But I was already wondering about the shortage of air traffic controllers most airports were facing.

lisajyarde.bsky.social•23 days ago

Sir, you know this one.

blake105.bsky.social•24 days ago

This question is rhetorical right?

mkakkool.bsky.social•24 days ago

The press needs to stop being scared ask real questions

dolly41.bsky.social•24 days ago

I'm old enough to remember the last time a plane crashed from this airport. Ronald Reagan was president.

stcooper.bsky.social•24 days ago

Took just a simple Google search to see the was still posted. 🤦‍♀️

drshowup.bsky.social•24 days ago

🙌🙌🏼🙌🏽🙌🏾🙌🏻🙌🏿🙌🙌🏼🙌🏽🙌🏾🙌🏻🙌🏿🙌

steve36893.bsky.social•24 days ago

Definitely relevant. After all the chaos and all the hiring hysteria, were they factors?

jeane.bsky.social•24 days ago

sxkttnunderdog.bsky.social•24 days ago

Our American media must be blamed. And often, and loudly. They created don trump as a mythical character out of thin air. W/o pointing that basic fact out, the American people are still misled into believing the he has some special knowledge of importance. He does not. He is a media made monster.

sxkttnunderdog.bsky.social•24 days ago

The American media is to blame for trump being where he is right now, our media is what created this monster. Our American media is the one that offered no resistance to the Christo-fascist authoritarian, anti-democracy takeover of this country.

high-a-licious69.bsky.social•24 days ago

Like a d-list comedians dumbass fan base would say, these are just questions. :)

high-a-licious69.bsky.social•24 days ago

Rachel Campos Duffy about to find out "When people stop being polite and start getting real" again.

carolynthechef.bsky.social•24 days ago

I agree

jsmithitguy.bsky.social•22 days ago

Pretty sure it's going to be that last part.

kimmi1965.bsky.social•24 days ago

While changing the narrative of AA jet crashed into the helicopter and now it’s being explained this way.
Except don’t believe your own eyes, we watched it happen.

akilah.bsky.social•24 days ago

I’m sayingggggggg someone has to ask

chevymama61.bsky.social•24 days ago

I have my champagne.

tlrgosu.bsky.social•24 days ago

Exactly- great question

jmoney21.bsky.social•24 days ago

I'm guessing they'll continue to roll over until the time comes that it is impossible to do so.

americantype.bsky.social•24 days ago

mainstream “free press” will out free press the Free Press

skylee83.bsky.social•23 days ago

Exactly!!!

twinlines.bsky.social•24 days ago

That is my fear-they will spew and control any narrative releases them from any culpability. Will an FAA inspection be independent or conducted by a loyalist? Will it get buried by other loyalists and or reported to a biased media owned by billionaires also loyal? It’s totally what Putin would do.

ptpower.bsky.social•24 days ago

I'm a-gonna guess the latter.

urocklive1.bsky.social•24 days ago

I have seen absolutely no evidence that the mainstream press is going to do anything other than continue to roll over. The Fourth Estate continues to massively fail us.

littleone-g.bsky.social•24 days ago

That and a drunk in charge of the military, what could go wrong

1-tired-dinosaur.bsky.social•24 days ago

Somehow they'll find a way to blame it on DEI or which bathroom people pee in

1-tired-dinosaur.bsky.social•24 days ago

And the heads of TSA, the Coast Guard, and the Aviation Safety committee

bluebird4.bsky.social•24 days ago

Trump delights in human pain, suffering, and death. He has killed hundreds of thousands of Americans and will kill many more. Trump is a destroyer. Psychopath.

nevadacousin.bsky.social•24 days ago

I think he got a taste for killing during George Floyd and Covid. Now he's hooked on it.

bluebird4.bsky.social•23 days ago

IMHO, it goes *way* back. Trump got a taste for blood decades ago when he and his Nazi mob father had people whacked in their way to stealing millions of dollars.

sblanasmay.bsky.social•24 days ago

They just don’t seem to care

ichoosefeminism.bsky.social•24 days ago

Yay you’re here

ktbobaytee.bsky.social•24 days ago

Ask relevant questions? In this economy?

pauletteparis1.bsky.social•24 days ago

I AM!

huckdillinger.bsky.social•24 days ago

It will disappear more quickly than a plane crash has ever disappeared from the news.

moplatt.bsky.social•24 days ago

And if it's a military helicopter, what's the new secdef got to say?

high-a-licious69.bsky.social•24 days ago

Well it's Sikorsky and they been selling the U.S government lemons for decades and the new SecDef likes mixing his drinks with lemons. I gave him a week till he started drinking on the job. I was way off.

vancitynancy.bsky.social•24 days ago

As soon as they sober him up…..

dibley643.bsky.social•24 days ago

Secdef is busy at extended happy hour. Someone call the bar and let him know!

tirumisu22.bsky.social•24 days ago

the latter

bessanna.bsky.social•24 days ago

well trump apparently has the blame all sorted out

pamica.bsky.social•24 days ago

Is the child going to put out a press release or is she working on her people skills?

ofhuman.bsky.social•24 days ago

At the salon

annieopopoagie.bsky.social•24 days ago

Still practicing the stand.

robingsf.bsky.social•24 days ago

And stressed out over OPM memos

auntieranty.bsky.social•24 days ago

My bet is the latter.

katillogical.bsky.social•24 days ago

Yup. Who's surprised?

juliejones.bsky.social•24 days ago

They're the nervous/overly excited dog laying open its back, peeing on itself.🤦‍♀️

saturdays19.bsky.social•24 days ago

I thought there was only 3 people left on federal death row,apparently not. RIP 🙏🏽

blueheart1.bsky.social•24 days ago

jack-rainh20.bsky.social•24 days ago

My bigger question is WTF was a military aircraft doing anywhere near an airport as all are surrounded by no fly areas, and the information I have is the plane was almost down when struck, again WTF WAS IT DOUNG THERE AND WHY? Sorry for shouting but I’m pissed, more life’s lost, why?

mamavon.bsky.social•24 days ago

They’re going to roll over as always. Probably await instructions from the fuhrer.

seitzbg.salty.house•24 days ago

My first thought

nevadacousin.bsky.social•24 days ago

They'll blame it on Pete somehow.

percigirl.bsky.social•24 days ago

None of the orange buffoon’s firings would have affected daily ops at any airport. Those fired weren’t line employees and had nothing to do with flight patterns, traffic flow management or ATC in real time. Let’s remember 64 families are devastated today.

cybogoblin.bsky.social•24 days ago

Is this one of those situations where calling Reps and Senators could place additional pressure on the White House to provide an answer?
