This is typical. Nothing to do with the issue. Nothing. Ya. I think there is plenty of stupidity here, and you lead the way.

More stupid.

Think what you want, but in the business, when someone has to do something to avoid a potential problem, it is called a near miss.

The more you post, the stupider you get.

No. In the aviation world, a near miss" means somebody had to do something to avoid an issue. Happens a lot, not like this incident at Midway, which was serious, but it is not unusual. The only thing that is different is that it is now politicized by lunes who have no background in this. Kind of like posting a link to some twenty year old who has no air traffic experience and is claimed to know something about safety. One thousand pieces of nonsense for anything of value, but that's what happens when ignorant people politicize things that happen every day.

You can't be serious. This has nothing to do with the FAA's mandate or purpose. The man was involved in detecting cruise missiles inbound to Hawaii. Should that concern any passenger? Does that have anything to do with the safe transportation of people through the airspace system? I really wonder if people even watch this stuff before posting.

By the way, for the sane and rational here, the little Citation was told to hold short of the runway. That means don't cross until cleared. They crossed without clearance, which caused the problem. Nothing to do with anything administration related. One more stupid attempt at making something political, which it isn't. Tiresome and goofy, but it is what it is.

Uninformed and idiotic.

The clown show is right here. This has nothing to do with this Administration.

Heard this today, from the guy who started and runs "Folds of Honor," which provides folded flags to families of US military people killed in action, but even more important, provides tens of millions of dollars in scholarship money for their dependents. NFL and Anheuser Busch, among others are partners. He stated that 77% of the demographic from 18-26 years olds, is not qualified to serve in any service. Of the remaining 23%, only 10% is at all interested in military service. This is not good and does not argue for success in the next conflict.

To state the obvious, there is no loving your neighbor on this forum from either side. There is no moral high ground to be justifiably claimed. Either way, I gave up Catholicism because of the inconsistencies in that theology vs. Biblical , and the Pope was was of about three reasons. I wish him and Catholics well.

Ya, and the issue was found to be not credible, so it proceeded onto original destination. There's nothing here, and to suggest there is is ridiculous.

You didn't mention that is was proven to be not credible, and the flight proceeded. How anyone could link a fake bomb threat, which happens quite a bit, to any administration is an incredible suggestion. This place has become bizarre.

Sure. Biden has never done anything worthwhile regarding the US military. He was a useless president. Get in or get out, and I'm not advocating he committed US troops to this, but if he was any kind of leader, he could have ended this. He isn't, and he never has been. A tepid approach never works.

My view of your contribution is not favorable, and this is a classic example. The US should and does "care." Caring is not the issue. The issue is whether or not the US taxpayer should fund an endless, infinitely expensive war. We either commit sources to it to determine the outcome, or we don't. What Biden was doing was useless, Vietnamesque,but he has never gotten anything right re foreign policy or the use of our military, so no surprise.

See anything that says "US" in this post? The issue is that there are people who have a valid claim that we shouldn't be the underpinning factor in this, both financially and logistically. It is a valid point. My view is that we should support them within reason, but Biden was never able to tip the scales, thought that was possible, but it needs to end.

Because that's how people act when they have enough. Other things become more important, like solving obvious problems and doing a greater service. Some people are like that, and we seem to have a few, thankfully.

And result in the end of production, as it always does when the gov screws things up by intervening.

I wonder if Rolling Stone used their famous informant "Jackie."

Skipper relieved, (fired), today. Such an incredible tough job.

It's a god observation, but microbursts are convection related, ie., up and down air, which you don't get in the winter. She didn't flare and didn't align the longitudinal axis or the airplane with the runway. The main landing gear couldn't handle the side load.

I will offer an answer that I am quite confident suggesting. The reason the FAA, NTSB or the particular company does not offer much until the official accident report comes out is quite simple. Lawsuits. In every aviation accident there are tons of lawsuits as ambulance chasing lawyers swarm the victims and families. Anything said is going to end up repeated in court, not matter how goofy or speculative. Inside the industry, people know the answers almost immediately, with very few exceptions. MH 370 comes to mind, but even that is pretty well known, they just can't find it. Airlines don't keep records of recurrent training on individuals for that same reason. If there is a problem, they are certain to correct it, but they want no record subject to subpoena. Here's a real life example. One night I as flying a 757 on the LA to Chicago all nighter. This was two days prior to OJ's flight, but that was coincidence. We had just leveled off and the FO answers the phone from the flight attendants and tells him there is a first class pass who has just had a heart attack. Sitting next to this guy is a UCLA Medical Center heart guy. They get the guy on the floor and the MD uses the defib and is working on the guy. He keeps him alive, but we get another phone call, and the MD says the guy has no chance. I get from 35000' to touchdown in Phoenix in 16 minutes, and emergency medical people are at the gate and the guy lives. This MD tells me once we get to Chicago that if this guy was at home, he would have never made it even to the ambulance arriving. Anyway, he sued the airline anyway, didn't win, and then sent a Christmas card to the airline for saving his life, which they forwarded to me. The point is that once an "event" occurs, everyone behaves with the knowledge that lawsuits are inevitable, so nobody talks until the report comes out.

Ya. The thing that will tell is the FDR record of sink rate and G at touchdown. I got a feeling it was "firm."

Same as me. What is anniversary date?

Side loaded right main landing gear coincident with unacceptable sink rate. It looked like a carrier landing. There was no flare to diminish the sink rate just prior to touchdown, which is always part of the landing. Stiff right crosswind leading to the mains not aligned with the runway at touchdown caused a side load which overstressed the gear and caused separation. These are basic techniques.
