Small plane, though, so this is just someone breaking a TrueAnon rule.

[-] TechnoUnionTypeBeat@hexbear.net 43 points 1 year ago

To be fair, the media was referring to the CRJ that went down in DC as a "small plane" because it was physically on the small side, not a massive Boeing or something

[-] CthulhusIntern@hexbear.net 32 points 1 year ago

In this case, there were only 2 people aboard, according to ABC 6.

[-] TechnoUnionTypeBeat@hexbear.net 33 points 1 year ago

I've seen scattered reports of 6, it seemed to be an air ambulance flight. Seems to be a Learjet, so average business jet size

[-] DoiDoi@hexbear.net 30 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yeah it was a Learjet 55, registration XA-UCI, working as ambulance transport. Trump is totally going to blame mexico for this.

If this ends up being our Reichstag fire...

[-] sempersigh@hexbear.net 24 points 1 year ago

yeah apparently two patients, two doctors, and two pilots

[-] TechnoUnionTypeBeat@hexbear.net 16 points 1 year ago

A patient, mother, two flight nurses, two pilots

The patient had just left the hospital after lifesaving treatment. She was a child going home to Tijuana

It's incredibly grim

[-] egonallanon@lemm.ee 72 points 1 year ago

Honestly I was expecting there to be a little more ramp up to the carnage trump would cause.

[-] jack@hexbear.net 74 points 1 year ago

This is the ramp, homie

[-] VernetheJules@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago

Fwiw he referenced ending "this American carnage" in his 2016 inauguration speech

[-] Biggay@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago

Biden was the ramp, you saw all the planes getting fucked up.

Sir, a second gwb reaction image has hit the hexbear thread

[-] sempersigh@hexbear.net 55 points 1 year ago

It has been zero days since the last plane crash amerikkka-clap

[-] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 48 points 1 year ago

I can imagine this social media convos like this a month or two from now.

"There are going to be hundreds dead."

"I thought it was a just a small plane that crashed."

"No, not yesterday's crash - today's. Two airliners crashed into each other..."

[-] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 46 points 1 year ago

Bluesky comment

Finally made the government small enough to strangle in a bathtub.

Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars? Cause I could really use socialism right now, socialism right now...

he said it looked like a missile was coming down. “There was a large explosion, so I thought we were under attack for a second,”

sicko-wistful

[-] adultswim_antifa@hexbear.net 40 points 1 year ago

The planes appear to be getting smaller each time so that's good...

[-] Speaker@hexbear.net 44 points 1 year ago

Midair drone collision bothers dozens

Paper plane wreck startles cat

That's crazy. Looked like the plane was already on fire

[-] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 29 points 1 year ago

First as tragedy, and then as farce. Bush did 1/31.

[-] sooper_dooper_roofer@hexbear.net 20 points 1 year ago

not my problem

[-] dRLY@hexbear.net 16 points 1 year ago

I think that the pro-privatization of all gov ran departments have been making sure to defund and overwork the staff of those departments/services in order to have shit like this and the drops in literacy. That way they can get mass support for removing all services/departments to cheers. Just like how they have constantly been trying to ditch the USPS because it "isn't profitable" (even though it shouldn't be treated as a for-profit "business"). Or like how they make sure stuff like 9/11 or other "terrorist attacks" scare the masses to strip rights and over-fund the MIC.

Im literally buying some fucking Amtrak tickets

I’m going to wear a helmet whenever I go outside since I guess planes will just be falling out of the sky every day now because we have to restore meritocracy and we can’t have woke dei globalist elite traffic controllers.

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:

We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.

Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:

The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.

  1. Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

  2. Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.

  3. Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.

  4. Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.

  5. Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.

  6. Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.

  7. American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.

  8. Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.

  9. AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.
