John Madden was right ..”Holy Moley what was that? ..Blue Angles..that close?!!! They were eye level!!! Crowd thought that was great.. where are they now?!! That’s as close as I’ve been to an airplane in 18 years”..”you don’t fly do you..” 49rs ,Rams ,16yrs ago. Last sane broadcaster.

Contractor running air traffic control - great 🙄... One drawback of contracting basic government services like air traffic control is that the more parties involved, the less accountability at times like this.

1. How long before pilot gets fired for daring to call the incident what it was vs. waiting for Hegseth to crawl out of a bottle to tell him via unsecured Signal chat what the official spin was supposed to be? 2. Will President Cankles and his cabal blame Biden, Obama, or marauding immigrants?

It was not a “Delta Air Lines” jet. It was a Sky West jet. Regional airlines are not new. Can news outlets ever report on air lines accurately? It only takes a little bit of research.

I haven't seen a single article that wasn't just sensationalizing the situation. The Sky West pilot absolutely overreacted. ATC did give a confusing order but immediately corrected that direction. The general population seems to be routing for a collapse of the airline industry at this point.

Trump attempted to take credit for improving airline safety. The truth? His Administration quietly waged an aggressive campaign to roll back safety and consumer protections at the behest of the airline industry democracyforward.org/lawsuits/sid...
