I was driving home & they said something about him on the news and I'm like I wonder if we should take bets on how long it is the "I won't drink if I get this" guy gets overwhelmed with how ill equipt he is to get busted day drinking. 🙄 Nothing to see here .. * sprinkles more chaos* move along. 😒
I'm 😲 shocked. Is this pattern normal 🤔 and for whatever reason we're not paying attention or is something going on? Six plane crashes involving two military planes/helos is stunning.
I think it's a combination of seeing it more because of all the talk and a run of bad luck.
Certainly, this had nothing to do with ATC issues. But also, Growlers don't just fall out of the sky. And that video...that's not a bird strike or an engine failure. This one IS genuinely odd.
Brian: the reason your channel has traction is because we look to you for a clear eyed perspective. I have noticed you are becoming more sensationalistic and click-baity. You are noticing these accidents because you're looking for malfeasance. Yet, there isn't a clear connection to Trump.

Thank you for the timeline. I am in no way defending Trump or his moronic edicts. That said, private planes crash and have mishaps all the time. It erodes Brian's and our credibility to apply blanket blame when only certain mishaps can be attributed to the Orange Sh!tstain.
We need to organize and stand up. S. Start. T. Taking. A. America. B. Back from the oligarchy. You can see what it spells. Don't want to get banned here. S*** the oligarchy!
This feels like fear mongering. I’m sorry. My son is a pilot. There have been shortages or ATC but it didn’t start with trump AND most plane accidents are due to human error. Are we reporting accidents we normally wouldn’t have reported? FYI, I hate trump so it’s not that I’m defending him.
In 2021, 2022 & 2023 there were over 1200 air accidents, each year. About 200 of them, each year are fatal. This is not abnormal, it is just being reported.
Sure would be a shame if the FAA issues caused something to happen to Air Force One with the entire Administration staff and Musk aboard. A damn shame.
I wonder what catchy little day it will be what month and what year September 11 again or something more interesting like 66 2025 May 5, 2025 either way we’re headed for fucking disaster every Republican is responsible soulless spineless cowards
The Orange Felon death count just keeps going up...
Tell me though, do you feel great yet? Has all this chaos and death been worth it because a majority of you ignorant f***s couldn't stand to have a black woman in the oval! 🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
Because there's no BREAKING NEWS story to tell.
A multimillion dollar fighter jet is packed with electronics and pushed FAR beyond the limits of any other aircraft. Things go wrong.
Also, look at the weather. Low cloud, rain
This (most probably) has no relation to FAA cuts or anything Trump related
Here in Ohio, my neighbor said, I suppose we have to expect planes dropping out of the sky now. Hope they don't land on our houses. And he was ok with this. He voted for Trump. I did not. My family and friends our going to take care of each other under this dictatorship. No flying now
Dear EU,
Remember when we came across the ocean to force facism out of your nations? It'd be a great time for you to return the favor. You will face minimal military resistance if you act now.
I remember a warning years ago that the end of the world would be at hand when planes started "dropping from the skies" ... Anyone else remember that warning/prediction?
From 1/20/21 to 1/19/25 a total of 101 fatalities occurred from aircraft incidents. Since 1/20/25 there have been no less than 83 fatalities. The Trump administration is on pace for a whopping 5,269 aircraft related fatalities.

He was holding it together with competence and hard work. He was doing two full-time jobs; Secretary of the DOT, and chief administrator of the 60,000-site Bipartisan Infrastructure Law grants. Duffy can’t even cope with half of that.
I didn't count those because the Acting Administrators, Billy Nolen and Polly Trottenberg, stepped up and took on the full function of FAA Administrator.
His media surrogacy was never full-time, and I know it involved a lot of work both for him and his staff, but it seemed he did it for fun. 😁
uuuugggghhh Is anyone keeping a counter of this stat versus the same time in Biden or ANYBODY ELSE'S terms? Like...I know what it'll show but it'd be nice to throw that chart around. #news
Could someone start putting little plane icons with American flags on the front of the resolute desk? You know like American fighter pilots used to put on swastikas.
This is what happens when you put a drunk in charge of the military a moron in charge of the Executive branch who fires necessary gov't employees and replace them with fools & crooks and hackers.
Something something correlation something something causation. Throw in conclusions and jumping and we're doing the same thing we yell at right wing conspiracy nuts for doing. And "collision"? What? 3rd crash involving military aircraft, only 1 was a collision. Why are we suddenly ignoring nuance?
So they are killing us in the air and nobody cares? Ppl should not be flying, start talking about the economy and the airlines. This is what the billionaires want, but we, the ppl, don't want EM or DT. Tank his economy and stop spending with big companies supporting small businesses. Tax the rich.
For a movement that believes everything is a sign of some conspiracy, MAGA sure don’t care when planes start falling out of the sky since Trump took over.
Yes ! Then they went bonkers screaming for biden to visit the site. Trump has yet to visit the site of the DC crash, in fact, he said he could not go cause he cant swim.
My white supremacist, conspiracy theorist ex-coworker went from complaining about an agenda similar to Trump's agenda to praising those same conspiracies. It went from hilarious to vile in two weeks.
JEWISH space lasers! Remember they're specifically JEWISH!
God I hate this timeline, why couldn't we have happy robot maids and personal flying cars instead.
It's too easily explainable. Fire people in charge of flight safety, flying is less safe. They prefer batshit crazy conspiracies like decoding Trump's word salad and pedophiles in the basement of a pizza parlor.
Oh, I’m sure theories about every one of the pilots being a Soros-funded deep state Democrat suicide bomber doing it on purpose to make Trump look bad are forthcoming.
Trump & his cabinet are utterly incompetent, but it’s worth mentioning here that A) there were no fatalities, B) the planes did not crash into each other like many other recent scenarios, and C) no immediate cause has been identified. Let’s not jump to any conclusions like the tinfoil hat brigade.
We should stick with what facts are known. Military aircraft go down often, sometimes because of the challenging flight envelope, other times because of parts or lack of maintenance - and rarely due to pilot error. This differs from many of the recent ground close calls where FAA help is needed
I witnessed one personally crashing into a house in my neighborhood. I knew the pilot. The NTSB tracks every aviation accident. It's scary how often these little planes crash.
I hope Trump doesn't weaken the NTSB. Like the UK AAIB (and for rail, the RAIB), these independent accident investigators historically have done excellent work and write superb reports. But, baby, bathwater :(
I can’t see that chart very well. How often do they involve military aircraft? I think that’s what is surprising. Small airplane crashes, I agree. You do read about them quite often.
I don't have any knowledge on military crashes, although seat of the pants, I hear of them every few months. The last EA-18G Growler crash was on 15 October 2024, so four months ago.
WTAF is going on?!?!?!
A Growler costs about $67 million.
Two weeks ago, an $80 million F-35 crashed in Alaska. The F-35 went down the same day the Black Hawk crashed into the American Airlines plane in DC!!! Did you hear about it?
Look, fuck trump, but trying to correlate military aircraft incidents like this and the one in Alaska with those of civilian incidents under Trump's dictatorship is bad faith journalism. Even trying to correlate all of these incidents with actions Trump has done is bad faith journalism
Over 70 million Nazis in Amerikkka voted for this.
The amount of homeless, poverty, destitute and impoverished Americans about to hit the streets is going to be Sad and a rude awakening for MAGAs voting against their own interests in the name of Anti-Black racism.
This didn’t used to be a thing at all. Now, since Trump began burning down the FAA, it is a regular thing. No surprise at all. THIS is what they call “efficient.”
Things are literally falling apart in this country but his biggest concern is other countries making a fool of him that is technically his own stupidity for not understanding how things work.
While this is a loss of equipment of no small amount of dollars I would like to say.
THANK EJECTOR STEATS those two are alive, uncomfortable and likely very scared, but alive.
Maybe “WTF is up with Air Traffic Control.” This started when the resignation email went out. It went out to FAA employees too. The FAA also has no leadership, and the DOGE monkeys are going to start making “upgrades” to ATC software.
Frankly, I’m gonna avoid flying as much as possible.
I wonder what the impact of making people stressed and uncertain about their jobs (or worse, in the words of our new OPM P2025 guy who desires to traumatize the federal work force) is having? In my experience, it makes people distracted and unable to concentrate or perform at their best.
Then add hostile, incompetent leadership that doesn’t have the workforce’s back, wants to push them out, forces them to spend time and energy weighing bogus offers and watching helplessly as DOGE goons force them to act against any previous standard. It’s a recipe for disaster. As we’re seeing…
DEMOCRATS, run offense news 24 hrs a day blaming DT.Bring n every person that’s ever piloted a plane or been a passenger to speak on how this is DT & admins fault. Follow up w disgruntled ATC personnel that r stressed from DT’s admin messing w federal jobs causing undo duress & safety issues. DO IT

Does the FAA use his satellites?
After what we've seen of his true colours so far, I wouldn't be surprised if the answer is yes.
Would you?
I thought they were making all the necessary cuts?
Oh yeah, the last organizations he ran, he ran them right into the ground and they had like 100 people in it.
So he’s really qualified …

Mad as hell though.
And move on with the day because it's so common.
https://www.yahoo.com/news/fact-check-yes-musk-once-234800258.html
How many crashes so far in the first 22 days of the Trump administration? Seems like on a daily basis since Jan 20th.
How many dead so far? 78
Where is the outrage.
I wonder what it could be?

Cause meet effect.
Of course ideally it is all coordinated with everybody around.
Correct me if wrong but each branch with air units has its own air coms yeah?
I see cause and effect playing out here!
THANK EJECTOR STEATS those two are alive, uncomfortable and likely very scared, but alive.
Now WTF is up with our planes?
Frankly, I’m gonna avoid flying as much as possible.
Biden and Obama were piloting 😂
