For those who like to trash "rich" people...
I have never had a problem with wealth, as long as it is attained legally, morally, and ethically. And I have NEVER dissed a person for buying something they can afford if they have the money.
If one wants to demonize another for achieving wealth, remember this, it is the consumer who made them that way. Yes, we Americans made the Saudis wealthy beyond belief! All because we bought their oil at their price!!! You did that! You did not have to drive and use their product. You CHOSE to do it!!!!!
Of course, I do blame our government for making it damn near impossible for us Americans to produce gasoline at a cost efficient price point. But not anymore since we have a Commander in Chief who is committed to America's interests and not any one else's!!!!
And if you don't like it, go pound sand and LEAVE!!!!!!!
The YouTube video ending in lHsMIdfD5Gg is NOT the same as the one in the article.
The video in the article clearly shows a significant crab angle, especially after that gust. They should have immediately gone around.
One should never put themselves, crew, and PAX in danger like this! Those pilots were damn lucky that flight did not end up an accident with casualties!
No wonder they have been terminated.
If the events portrayed here are factual, then this airplane appears to be deliberately shot down.
According to the article the plane climbed to 8,000 feet before comms were lost. IF there were a fire in one engine, that would NOT result in the catastrophic events that occurred! However, a missile striking the plane would!
Seems someone wanted to blame the US for this senseless tragedy.
But let's get real. The US does NOT fire on civilian aircraft!!! Even if someone "of interest" happened to be aboard.
BTW. To those focusing on the fact that the plane was on fire when it crashed...DUH!!!
