Well the president of the United States tweets out shit about Taylor Swift, and has said anything that is bad is Bidens fault and anything good is because of him.   Welcome to America

Look at this guy who needs help from the tower to land an airliner. Looks like somebody didn't play enough Microsoft Flight Simulator as a kid.

We all have to admit our limits. Just like in the other scenario where I am the best hope for the plane:  I hope I can nod at another unassuming yet secretly deadly dad across the aisle before we move as one to effortlessly eliminate the hijackers using a plastic coffee stirrer and a laptop I grabbed from a sexy brunette in a business suit and messy bun as brilliantly improvised weapons. But I’ll do it on my own if I need to meet the occasion.

One thing unites all men.  Deep down we are all certain that if we are on an airliner and the pilots are passed out or dead, we are the best choice to stay calm and collected and land that sucker with a little help from the tower.

This is Surly and I'm pretty sure based on the dietary habits of most members, y'all don't have to worry about landing the plane--you're going to die of dysentery. The pilot in California crashed because he was in a hurry to get the cinchoa to the Inca king.

sounds like descent below minimums in foggy weather, should have gone around, didn't, hit terrain, people died.  no politics, just general poor judgement.

My grandkid has a friend that lives in one of those weird gated communities where everyone has a hangar and there are these little planes that taxi along the street and you have to stop at stop signs for them to pass you. It's very strange. The homes are pretty basic but I guess because you have a huge glorified barn on yoru property and a hobby plane, every house is like a minimum $3mm.

I go to that neighborhood to carpool for school or birthday parties or what have you and I think to myself it's the riskiest and most insane thing a lawyer-by-day or run of the mill orthodontist could ever do. It feels like not a matter of when but if, but maybe I'm just a big baby and/or too poor to understand.

I live close to one of these neighborhoods. The land on the other side of their runway is part of a Middle School/High School complex. When my kids were little I coached soccer and t-ball on sports fields behind the schools (the land between the schools and the runway). Any time a plane took off or landed all field activity would stop as kids and dads would stop what they were doing to watch the airplanes.

What does the Oregon Trail have to do with any of this?

I have no desire to ever fly in a small plane or a helicopter.

Especially not from Jersey to San Diego. Knock yourself out, Earhart. I'll grab a coach seat on the next Southwest flight.

First few responses are a pretty good encapsulation of how broken brained our politics has become. 

The current presidential administration does broken brained shit like this dozens of times on a daily basis, but it's a few Surly posters that are the real problem in this country.
