No threads about the helicopter crash in the Hudson River?

[JGalt]

I guess not. These things are only news because..

A. It happened in New York City

B. It gives the Trump-haters an opportunity to blame the Trump administration

C. It gives everyone else the opportunity to blame the pilot for being a DEI hire.

Anyway, nobody gets out of here alive. Laugh about it or cry about it, but everybody meets their Waterloo. Even you and I.

Sorry. I can't be held responsible for site glitches. Maybe the mods will merge these two threads into one awesome thread.

Think a delta flight had to do an emergency landing in Dublin and a couple planes clipped each other on the ramp at Reagan National......but hey, DOGE probably saved us a quarter a year.

Then go burn another Tesla. That'll fix their wagon.

Why waste the match? Eventually a plane will fall out of the sky on it anyway.

Better go hide in the basement. There's a Boeing 737 up there somewhere with your name on it.

A phone video shows the copter plummeting to the ground with no apparent main rotor and no tail. Something really catastrophic must have happened. Those folks never had a chance. I pray for their souls, especially the kids.

Mr Salt
I hate to tell you , but the battle of Waterloo had nothing to do with water . Or the French going to the Loo .

It was a place .
Then in the Netherlands but now in southern Belgium .

I guess you know the number one gang won the battle .
Team GB beat Nappers quite comfortably .
But no water involved .

Tourist chopper

Probably a fat black lesbian illegal alien on maintenance

First time I was on a helicopter
I missed a flight out of JFK once but I could catch one out of Newark
Holy s*** that mother f***** shook like a beast I don't think that was normal
a helicopter over English channel that was silky smooth
I've done gotten on some questionable air contraptions

Hate to say it, but praying for the dead is a waste of time. If they ain't found Jesus by now, they're goners.

Cutting back on maintenance inspections to save a buck. Or sabatoge could be the cause ,no sign of a bomb it just fell apart. I hope to know of an investigation and MSM reports the findings.

Tesla’s, especially the trucks burn all on their own

OK, fuck up, so you don’t trust major corporations to self police themselves

Ya, I get what you're saying. I believe we all have souls and I pray for their souls.

You know, some reportage quotes people saying they heard a loud boom that they thought was thunder, but then they saw parts falling from the sky.

Small private aircraft not involving anyone or anything esle.

A tragedy for sure but almost certainly not something affecting air travel in general.
