Excellent points.

Thank you for a truthful & complete timeline post!

It's been so incredibly long since the U.S. suffered a fatal airline crash that the NTSB last updated its online list using a dialup modem and Notepad.exe 📟

I would support and cite any NBER paper establishing causality.

Well, jet or no jet, it was not the first fatal commercial crash in the US. It's the first "Major" commercial crash. Whatever that distinction may mean.

That’s why I said “passenger jet” and not “commercial crash” — as I think most people know it to refer to airline-operated passenger jet plane, and how such aircraft are fundamentally different from crashes like Kobe Bryant’s

truth-consequences.bsky.social•24 days ago

I fail to see the difference. This is a list of aircraft people paid to fly on who ended up dead.

dancow.bsky.social•24 days ago

Cool, sounds like you're also too obtuse to understand why the FAA doesn't have just a single set of regulations that covers "thing that fly in air". Which is why I originally typed the words "passenger jet" and not "commercial crash", to help dipshits like you with the thinking process. But alas 🤡

Ah, we degrade to ad homs when proven wrong. You’d fit right in to Usenet in the dial up days

1M+ airline workers. 10M jobs. $1.37T industry. Yet safety takes a backseat. Workers—strike for your rights. Flyers—boycott for your lives. One day of action can shake the system. No more profit over people. Ground greed. Reclaim power. #StrikeToSurvive airlinesafety #aviation

Don't worry, Captain Obvious is on the case!

President Obama was in office just under 1 month, and he immediately took responsibility for finding out what happened and changing regulations. Same thing now, only Trump already CUT safety, and now spends all his time flailing around finding someone to blame.

Because the FAA was gearing up to investigate his SpaceX rocket exploding on the 17th. Orange Xittler couldn’t have his boyfriend distracted when he’s ransacking all of our sensitive data.

I guess returning the US back to the "Leave it to Beaver" era isn't a good thing afterall
