It was a bombardier (Canadian) plane btw

[-] MNByChoice@midwest.social 2 points 2 months ago

Canadian manufacturer, but took off from Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA. I assume a maintenance issueis the cause, but that may be a poir explanation.

[-] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

It is a poor explanation, because all signs point to pilot error in manual landing compounded by weather. 33kt cross wind gusts, coming in fast to accommodate for if the gusts disappear, and not flaring soon enough and not leveling out because of crabbing the cross wind which was blowing snow across the runway giving poor visibility of the runway itself. But we’ll see the investigation results.

Mhm. Yep. Ohhh. I know some of these words.

[-] TheBat@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

I think reverse might happen as well. Airlines from other countries might refuse to fly to USA.

[-] Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 months ago

Both: Airlines from other countries refuse to fly in US airspace because of dangerous ATC and planes from the US are refused entrance in the airspace of other countries because the FAA isn't trusted to enforce proper maintenance schedules on planes from US companies and other countries don't want the additional cases of planes falling from the sky or crashing on landing that would result from de facto unregulated air travel safety in the US.

Also Boeing sales would suffer if the FAA was officially deemed in other countries to not have equivalence with their local air-travel regulators when it came to oversight of plane manufacturing because it wasn't actually doing the job of preserving the safety of air-travel.

He is speedrunning isolation if this happens. US and EU relations are already at their breaking point after. Threatening to go to war with Denmark and his Ukraine visit.

[-] Ledericas@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

putins plan is working perfectly, causing disorginzation in america, and the rest of world, so they cant concentrate on things like ukraine and putins internal politics.

[-] Ledericas@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

sounds like a good thing.

Americans will never see any real progress in their lifetimes as long as the Democratic party in its current incarnation stands intact.

Conservatives are by their nature evil and reactionary, but also simultaneously eternal and temporary. They are a society's dead skin being shed before the new form emerges, its cocoon of petulant narcissism refusing to accept reality.

The problem with neoliberal Democrats is that they don't realize that they're conservative too, and as such must be shed.

Both the funniest and most wished for idea this year!

God I need to learn how to lucid dream.. okay I know how, but I need to get better at it

[-] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

wake up and go back to sleep.

guides are available online, and a film touching the topic exists : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waking_Life

[-] HawlSera@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

Yes... yes... I should

[-] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Keep a dream journal and write down anything you remember immediately when you wake up. Re-read them before bed and it trains your brain to remember more detail. No point having lucid dreams if you don't know about it afterward.

[-] Octagon9561@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 months ago

This is genius haha

[-] bountygiver@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 months ago

That is not luck, that is by design, there's a lot of engineering done to ensure airplane crashes has as high survival rate as it can. Unfortunately, there's no such design on the political system as a whole.

[-] Emerald@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Checks and balances, but those are gone now

[-] boydster@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago

Me, too, James. Me, too.

[-] Kompressor@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Idk man in that analogy our plane never flies ever again and is just a smoking fucked up broken mess where it was supposed to land. Doesn't seem that great lol

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 9 points 2 months ago

The rest of the world would be quite pleased though.

No more giving weapons to terrorists, only for them to turn out to be terrorists.
No more overthrowing diplomatically elected governments because they got in the way of some oil drilling.
No more invading other countries, spending 10 years stomping around, then leaving it worse than it was when they started.

[-] match@pawb.social 5 points 2 months ago

it was 20 years for the afghanistan war actually

[-] Panamalt@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago

People are already not surviving, literally and figuratively, the time has long since come and gone to "hope" the problem isn't real. The problem very much here, and it is absolutely going to kill us unless we do something about it right fucking now.

[-] Tabula_stercore@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Why does every moment needs to be seized by you fucks?

[-] DerArzt@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago

Points at the giant burning dumpster fire that is the current American government and the dynamic duo pouring more jet fuel into the dumpster.

[-] MellowYellow13@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Maybe go outside and look around and you wont need strangers on Lemmy to tell you lmao
