You couldn't pay me enough to get on a plane now.

djraison.bsky.social•17 days ago

What a Japanese plane attacked an American one , this is pearl harbour all over again

christinajackson.bsky.social•17 days ago

I think flying is no longer safe. Especially now. I'd encourage everyone to refrain from flying if at all possible. My family has already decided that flying isn't worth it.

contrails.bsky.social•17 days ago

Oh, shit.

tianaadams.bsky.social•17 days ago

🙃who knew planes would crash when you get rid of air traffic controllers when they’re already understaffed?! Crazy.

evilpeony.bsky.social•17 days ago

Another one? Holy fucking shit

drawsacat.bsky.social•17 days ago

Trump, how many people are you and Elon musk killing today? Saving lots of pennies .. killing Americans!

vernvotes.bsky.social•15 days ago

I'm beginning to think that Trump knows more about Airline Safety than any other man on EARTH. 🙃
#FuckTrump #FuckMusk

ohiorob.bsky.social•17 days ago

Literally, flying commercial has become hundreds of times more dangerous than when Joe Biden was in office. This is pure crazy.

askgma.bsky.social•17 days ago

We need Pete B and Joe B back.

think4minute.bsky.social•17 days ago

And Musk just announced that
Doge is going to be working on the FAA. It just gets worse by the minute

askgma.bsky.social•17 days ago

Working? Or Destroying what’s left?Elmos jets should be grounded.

djmonijn.bsky.social•17 days ago

President musk is a rotten president

onewokecitizen.bsky.social•17 days ago

Won’t be long before Trump blames DEI for this 🤦🏽‍♂️

snarkymrscyph.bsky.social•17 days ago

“Japan airlines” is all he needs to hear before spouting that nonsense.

Racist prick.

frankedson24.bsky.social•17 days ago

Or Biden.

onewokecitizen.bsky.social•17 days ago

This is what happens when you send every government employee buyout emails… stress breeds chaos 🤦🏽‍♂️

floatippity.bsky.social•17 days ago

This.

jubilado251.bsky.social•17 days ago

And they sent buyout letters to all the air traffic controllers.

davidj867.bsky.social•17 days ago

Everything trump touches dies.

elizkay.bsky.social•17 days ago

I think we'll be driving this summer.

mjv68.bsky.social•17 days ago

The whole of the US is a no-fly zone.

sympson.bsky.social•17 days ago

Can you include a source, please?

freebirdpnw.bsky.social•17 days ago

Local new article: https://komonews.com/news/local/japan-airlines-plane-strikes-parked-delta-aircraft-at-seattle-tacoma-international-airport-crash-plane-travel-accident-news-washington-portland-tokyo-investigation-passenger#

sympson.bsky.social•17 days ago

Ok, an area not under air traffic control. I wonder if this is just pilot error.

char867.bsky.social•17 days ago

The “ground controller” within ATC is responsible for managing traffic on the tarmac.

sympson.bsky.social•17 days ago

Aha. I wish the article had mentioned any of that.

isensiel.bsky.social•17 days ago

ATC also directs traffic on the ground. There's usually dedicated people for that as it is very busy and crowded.

sympson.bsky.social•17 days ago

I dunno — I was quoting the article. Perhaps it was incorrect.

sympson.bsky.social•17 days ago

Thank you! I’m afraid I sounded obnoxious, but I think we need to be utterly scrupulous about sourcing now ;(.

freebirdpnw.bsky.social•17 days ago

I agree, I quit news but had to confirm for myself. I live under the flight path only a few miles from Seatac

vincentj1217.bsky.social•17 days ago

If this keeps up people may opt out of flying.

redloribrighteyes.bsky.social•17 days ago

already decided this

vincentj1217.bsky.social•17 days ago

It just makes no sense. Do they not want people to fly? Maybe they don’t I guess.

redloribrighteyes.bsky.social•17 days ago

if our air space closes no allies can come to our aid

rebelresister.bsky.social•17 days ago

And, if we can't leave and can't get pension or SS payments, we have to work. They get even richer from our labor

notmuchfun.bsky.social•17 days ago

Boycott air travel. Trump is making it too dangerous.

askgma.bsky.social•17 days ago

Ground Elmo’s jets.

cperd33.bsky.social•17 days ago

Yeah, we won’t be flying anymore. Road trips it is.

middlerage.bsky.social•17 days ago

But Elon was supposed to plug in and FIX everything!

enkaye3014.bsky.social•17 days ago

MAGA will say it’s Biden’s fault

magabuster.bsky.social•17 days ago

I don't recall this when we had a gay guy running the Department of Transportation. Do you?

frenchiejenn.bsky.social•17 days ago

Get outta here with your woke ideology. /sarcasm

kurisu7885.bsky.social•17 days ago

Ok, well air crashes are officially becoming as common as mass shootings, exclusively in the USA.

maryann42.bsky.social•17 days ago

thankfully, I returned from Iceland the Friday before the skies went to s**t

pasca1.bsky.social•17 days ago

At this point, other countries should just ban flights to the United States.

fkameridian13.bsky.social•17 days ago

At least we have cheap eggs.

Oh, wait...

jacklbrand.bsky.social•17 days ago

President Musk is on it. 🙄

askgma.bsky.social•17 days ago

Yeah. Cuz fair taxation ain’t no fun.

erictheblue.bsky.social•17 days ago

Why can't Trump stop this?

jodyanne325.bsky.social•17 days ago

Good grief🤦‍♀️

eviee2.bsky.social•17 days ago

Trump's America

momaferd.bsky.social•17 days ago

Why wasn’t this ALL OVER THE NEWS

jharsin.bsky.social•17 days ago

At least they were on the ground. I hope no one was hurt. But yes: this is Trumpworld.

accountabilabuddy.bsky.social•17 days ago

The next time the Proprietor gets on a plane, ATC has an opportunity to do the funniest and most efficient thing.

jennyfern18.bsky.social•17 days ago

That’s it! We are canceling our flight for our vacation in April. No way🤬🤬🤬🤬

evamc.bsky.social•17 days ago

Three people I talked to today are canceling plans to visit the US.

jennyfern18.bsky.social•17 days ago

I would if I were them.

my2greatgirls.bsky.social•17 days ago

Yep. Not stepping foot on a plane

boobiewankanoobie.bsky.social•17 days ago

My thought exactly. Not flying for at least four years.

makeitgood.bsky.social•17 days ago

Wow! This is just insanity! What is going on??

baszram.bsky.social•17 days ago

That’s 4 in rumps watch. Washington DC, Philadelphia, Chicago (on ground) & now Seattle!

littleblindguy.bsky.social•17 days ago

Here we go again, with Trump blaming somebody. He obviously hasn't said anything yet, but you know he will and he will do as I predict.

fantasticmrshiba.bsky.social•17 days ago

I was supposed to honeymoon in Japan soon 😢

itsmevicki.bsky.social•17 days ago

Once you got out of the US it would probably be fine.

princessroyalb.bsky.social•17 days ago

I'm curious but this is not just privy to him being in office? I'm curious if there were events like this during the past 10 yrs that were not reported about.

qm61.bsky.social•17 days ago

Statutory requirement to advise so if you didn’t hear of a crash it didn’t happen. Can you imagine the commentary if these events occurred during the previous administration.

elsiecreek.bsky.social•17 days ago

Oh ok, let’s just assume this is normal, shall we?

zbhnomad.bsky.social•17 days ago

Most air traffic incidents reported on weren’t about collisions/crashes but parts falling from Boeing Jets, many were Alaskan Airlines

bigdogmomthree.bsky.social•17 days ago

Does anyone feel confident to fly now a days?

boocow16.bsky.social•17 days ago

This is serious don't dismiss it as something that just happens. This is the tip of the iceberg for a much bigger problem. We need to contact Congress.
