2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion.

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?

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 feel pretty comfortable pointing to an airplane accident and then pointing to the eviscerated airline safety management and hiring freezes on ATCs, especially since my silence would result in the only culprit people hearing about being 'DEI' from conservatives.

If we do not fill the information space with the most likely truth, than they will fill it with their bullshit - and that bullshit will become the dominant narrative.
