After Deep State left well enough alone for awhile, in the past week we have had:

Helicopter crash in the Hudson
2 passenger jets carrying politicians clip wings
Crash on a highway in Florida

The sooner people quit condemning "conspiracy theorists" like me and actually stand up to this evil in our nation, the sooner this quantity of tragedies like this will end. Now that Trump is in office, Deep State and the Demon Party are doubling down on their war against America. Back the Red, or America is Dead!

That's the deep state? Wow, they've set their ambitions pretty low at this time

Multiple aircrafts crash every day in the US. 70% of all days have a fatal crash. There were 1417 accidents in 2024 with 258 fatal incidents.

Planes crash, shite happens. It happens way more than anyone cares because most of the time it's some nobody flying in the middle of nowhere.

It’s ineptitude not conspiracy. Folks in aviation have seen this coming for years. There has been a stark erosion of competence over the past several years illustrated by a sharp rise in near misses and incidents.

It happens more often with copters. Their physics is just more complicated than a plane.

Just curious… while I’m here.

What’s the end game? In your opinion, what is the “Deep State” attempting to accomplish by causing a helicopter and a small piston engine airplane to crash and a couple of planes to touch wings?

I'm not a big fan of aircrafts with only one thing keeping them in the air. With two engines at least you have one left if one of them goes out.

A former pilot of Marine One is from Shreveport. He told us that he had to fly Henry Kissinger to the White House and told him they would be delayed because the battery had to be charged. When ready to board the copter Kissinger got nervous and asked "What if the battery goes dead while in flight?'
He explained that the battery only starts the engine.

i work with/on helicopters regularly. i'm pals with a guy that used to be the man for red cross global helicopter ops. have seen him speak on them multiple times at conferences and the gist is - they are inherently dangerous, so don't use one unless it's necessary
op is a kook

So the deep state decided to kill a random Spanish family in NYC?

There have always been frequent aviation incidents in this country. Media makes it more visible.

Ineptitude likely as such relates to inspection and maintenance. Those struts that attached the transmission to the frame likely failed at the frame, and there would have been hairline cracks upon close inspection. No real expertise here other than that I have a friend who is a helicopter mechanic. Cost cutting hiring practices will cost that Louisiana company dearly. Nice family, very sad, life is hard, God rest their souls and mercy for close family.

Have an AEX to SEA flight coming up soon. Heaven forbid my wife sees this or it would be a double xanax flight for her.

Our local academic medical center runs 4 (home and from 3 satellite locations). They went years without an accident until a month or so ago. Had just dropped off, refueled and had flown approximately 20 miles and the flight nurse called in; "loud boom, lost power, looking for a field, to control crash". Clipped some trees and eploded some moments after impact. Some think the rotors broke, not unlike the Hudson crash. Pilot, nurse and paramedic parished. They had a pretty good safety record prior to that.
