I think you misread the original statement. User "Emkstiuk" is a Reserve LEO. The person who had a firearm and accidentally discharged it is a 3 time felon, according to Emkstiuk's friends.

Humm let's hope flightaware gets spared. My Mon used it to track my flights to ensure I had landed safely...

Pufft, you do realize how much China rely on Taiwan? Without Taiwan (specifically TSMC) they won't able to make phones, cars, motherboards, graphics cards... It will be years before the world recovers. China attacking Taiwan is akin to Japan attacking Pearl Harbour. A last ditch attempt nobody in the world wants.

With new 777-300ERSF just on the horizon, its a shame this one retired a bit too early.

Yeah especially if the jet was not well maintain in the 2.5 years... Like some used cars, part them and sell the parts may net you more.

Funny Taiwan's ADIZ shown in the article include quite large chunk of airspace above Chinese mainland. So even the Chinese are flying above their own land, they may still "incurring into" Taiwan's ADIZ. Well USN fly into South China Sea regularly, so guess Chinese are also exerting they own navigation freedom... To me this is nothing more than "China threat" propaganda, not headline worthy. Interesting to see what equipment Chinese able to maintain and bring out for a stroll. Speaking of propaganda. Wish one day both side can claim down and work out a plan for reunifications. Relics of Cold War shouldn't exist when Soviet Union is gone. Germans made it work, China maybe next, Koreans... well there is hope...

Have you seen the article's charts? They are not even flying towards Taiwan, more like towards open sea between Taiwan and Philippines. If you want a War with China, the world as you know it will end. Say goodbye with all your technologies, they are all have components made either in Taiwan or in China. 2020 is a big proof what may happen if China is just suddenly gone from the map, even just for few months.

They surely took their time. Let's hope they did their homework right!

Journalists... Do they know there are privately owned 747-8 and 777s? G700 is hardly "Largest Business Jet" Heck even Trump famously flew around his private 757, well that particular plane is probably not in flying condition anymore...
