Possible but probably not. ATC have been understaffed and overworked for years and this is the inevitable result.
Combine that with a military that has historically always done whatever the fuck it… err, support the troops and thank you for your service. Can I have my salmon tossed under the broiler please?
But yeah. This is less a consequence of trump and more a consequence of our fundamentally broken culture and government that predates him.
This is going to have very big ramifications even medium term. But the work culture and lack of personnel were already a major problem long before… last week. At most, trump accelerated this.
Now, the horrific response to this is all fuckface.
As an aside: it is REALLY obnoxious to post two giant images as a reply.
Please stop already concluding what the cause was. It’s been little over 24 hours, the bodies are barely cold.
Real actual aircrash investigations take weeks, months, sometimes years. I know that this particular one likely won’t get any investigation at all, but can we please stop doing the exact same thing as trump (only in our case slightly based on facts)? You’re probably right, but still, it bugs me that everyone already has their scape goat ready.
Airplane safety has always been written in blood, the last thing we need is starting to write them with plain ink, causing us to add many, many more chapters

I’mma let you in on a secret:
The CEO doesn’t do shit. ANYWHERE.

Literally impossible for this to result in that crash
I know we want to associate everything bad with the new admin but this was just regular old american calpitalist incompetence
They even just removed it from their website.
We then find out the real reason for the crash is empty seats https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/30/business/air-traffic-control-staffing-plane-crash.html
How many air traffic controllers recieved Elon’s buyout email?

Ya, it’s obviously DEI like Trump is saying.

Sorry, didn’t realize it was an edgy comment.
You were talking about things that were impossible to have caused the crash and (my inference) being quick to judge.
Because of that, I thought it was funny that Trump immediately blamed DEI before any sort of investigation had been done.
Maybe I misinterpreted your comment.
