If only there were a device to keep you in your seat when something like this happens
stuff like this is why i’m lowkey terrified of flying also this isn’t a shitpost
So you’d rather stick to the ground, where you can’t dive to avoid an oncoming vehicle?
Yeah, shitpost needs some better moderation. Shitpost has literally just become post whatever you want. And if that’s what it is, I guess that’s what it is, but the term “shitpost” to me had always been someone coming and derailing serious threads with nonsense opinions, unrelated pics, etc. So silly trolling.
This post is a picture of a tweet about a near mid-air collision. Unless the second plane was just fucking around, shitflying as they say, I don’t know that it qualifies for the low, low bar that is shitposting.
I can assure you some pants were shit on that flight
Shitpantsing then
Remind us who cut funding to FAA?
This is Joe Biden s fault. I don’t mean he cut funding or anything like that, I mean he was literally flying the other plane. It was full of woke trans immigrants headed to Texas so Democrats can get more votes while simultaneously rigging the election.
Obama was copilot? Smoking crack in the back in his tan suit? With Dijon mustard?
Smoking the mustard and putting crack on the hotdog.
hotdog
why you gotta bring hulk hogan’s skin into this?
Whatcha gonna do brother? WHATCHA GONNA DO WHEN THE COCAINE, GEAR, TANNING BEDS AND RACISM RUN WILD OVER YOU?!
hulk hogan was the real copilot all along.
I thought Hulk Hogan’s legendary pre-match routine was hot dogs in the crack, not the other way around?
Your response here is an excellent example of shitposting. You are the new moderator. Keep up the shitty work.
it was the one armed man! you gotta believe me!
Which time? In January or in Trump’s last term?
Put your fking seatbelts on. All the time.
how that a shitpost tho
Because everybody on the plane shit themselves.
Without pilot intervention, the closest they would have come would have been 4.85 nautical miles laterally, and at the same altitude.
With the pilot intervention, the closest they came was 4.85 nautical miles laterally, and 500 feet vertically.
Anything about Jimmy Dore is a shitpost but which sub or whatever is this more suitable for?
This ain’t no shitpost.
You’re right, but I don’t think The Internet cares.
You have to admit it’d be pretty shitty to run into another airplane in the sky though?
Is gutting the federal government working yet? Is the swamp drained? Is the winning complete? Are my bigoted piece of shit nazi flag flying neighbors satisfied yet?
It’s working for Russia
Uh, what? Something like 80 % of their economy is now government spending.
I meant getting Trump elected to sow discord and chaos in the US has allowed Russia to continue their war while facing fewer repercussions
Exactly. I don’t say those things at work anymore because they are too many of them.
I can’t help wondering if they are remorseful.
One thing I know is people don’t like to be told. I stop correcting them. The more we point out their flaws, the more irrationally they will hold on to the false beliefs
A fascinating theory I read is that MAGA is making a big deal out of Epstein because it provides an off-ramp that lets them save face.
Legit I’m like "bruh, you’re upset that your billionaire ‘grab em by the pussy’, ‘accidentally’ walking into the miss teen usa changing room, ‘I’d fuck my daughter if she wasn’t my daughter’ president is on a list of billionaire sexual predators? I’m glad that something finally looks like it might stick to him but c’mon guys.
They will instead irrationality believe that it’s working in their favour and be emboldened. They didn’t reach their position by being rational. Don’t let a bully tell you that you deserved it after he punches you in the face.
This is very dangerous. Time to remove regulations for collision warning systems on airplanes, so dangerous maneuvers like this don’t happen in the future
Tap for spoiler
/s
Yeah, just let the pilots fly Tony Hawk freestyle. Time to get creative!
Time a different kind of fireworks.
The kind that only happens near airports. Hopefully, some of the billionaires who wanted this shit will be part of the fireworks
Finally, the freedom to have sick plane crashes thanks to deregulation 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🦅🦅💥💥💥
Just to put this into perspective, here’s a visualization of the flight data. The two aircraft were never on a collision course. They slightly violated a 5-mile separation requirement: their closest point of approach was 4.85 miles. The pilot did need to respond to the TCAS alert, but that alert was very conservative.
These conservative warnings exist for a reason, though. That being hundreds of lives at stake. What I think would be more interesting is to hear how often these types of events occurred before and after the layoffs at the FAA
Agreed. The point of a conservative warning is to give plenty of time and opportunity to react without bouncing your passengers off the ceiling.
Fault for the loss of separation seems to be on the controllers. Not all separation incidents are the same, though. This one seems to be rather minor. By my estimation, the encroachment was a maximum of 264 yards, and the duration of that encroachment (without pilot or controller intervention) would have been less than 10 seconds. Too tight, yes. It needs addressed so it doesn’t become a habitual violation that could lead to more severe encroachment by these controllers. But there was no real danger of bodily harm from this encroachment.
Fault for an overly aggressive maneuver is on the pilot. There was a risk of injury from that overly aggressive response. The pilot’s actions elevated a minor, no-risk event to one that risked serious injury to the passengers and crew. But, he was following instructions from a device designed to improve aviation safety, and the nature of the warnings from that device, an over-response is much safer than an under-response. He has to trust his instruments, and his instruments (erroneously) told him to push the nose down, quickly, lest he hit another plane.
TCAS is designed and intended to reduce risk and prevent harm. In this specific incident, though, it seems like the TCAS-RA actually increased the risk of harm, by calling for an immediate action that wasn’t actually necessary to prevent harm. Is there a way to improve TCAS?
I, too, would like to know how often TCAS incidents were recorded before and after the layoffs. Those layoffs definitely harmed aviation safety. But if someone were injured in this incident, I don’t think I could point the finger at the controllers or lack thereof. This particular incident seems to suggest a shortcoming in the TCAS system.
Very thoughtful and informed reply. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Well it cost money and held yous back.
/s …Justin Case.
Damn
We almost got rid of Jimmy dore
…should we hire more tower administators, and look into the epstein files?..
Nah, let’s cut them and burn the evidence!
Well hold up. I wasn’t on that plane so actually yeah you’re right.
See!
Empathy hard
We’re empathizing (with each other and no others) so hard.
Im starting to think that the people I consider to be “the others” are getting what they deserve. That makes me hard
Its pretry great! I just imagined a composite of negative stereotypes kind of person to hate and that the plane with all the bumped heads was going to a convention for those people. I’ve talked to my congressman about it, and he says if he can get through while it’s still in American airspace, it will be shot down!
Fuck Jimmy Dore, he turned against the queers. Last I saw a video of him interviewing with some bad-faith transmedicalist harassing people at pride acting all innocent like “I’m just asking questions” - his loud mouth was good as 2016 was going down but of course loudmouths don’t always know when to shut it.
Yeah Jimmy Dore fucks around with Alex Jones. They can both go to hell
It just blows me away how many people are just responding to this without addressing it…
I had no idea who this person was until @zelahdieliekeis@piefed.blahaj.zone’s comment prompted me to look into it. Calling out crap like this is helpful.
He’s always been a grifter
Yeah I’m not a fan but his being directly involved merits the exposure
That’s why I stopped watching him in 2017.
TCAS is working overtime to make up for the years of neglecting the FAA.
And this is why I don’t fly anymore. It was never an enjoyable experience (except takeoff. Wee!!) and now it’s even less worth it.
Now I find myself having a depressed opinion on the lack of train options.
Sitting in an airport right now. Great.
Can I have your computer if you die?
I won’t be using them, ha.
Well? Does u/Agent641 get the computer?
I made it through. Maybe next time.
