It's not like being black trumps any qualifications you might have, though that's what the right is convinced is happening.BigVlad wrote on Jan 30, 2025, 15:47:* REMOVED *
Yea, the right is already blaming the incident on "the blacks". It's going to be their go-to scapegoat for everything over the next 4 years. Black people, immigrants, and the transes. Hopefully a proper investigation can be done, without too much meddling from the administration.

Concerning the favorite child article, I don't have kids, but I have two kittens (they're about 8 months old each now). We got the second one a little more than a month after the first one. We immediately fell in love with the second ones personality and unfortunately, we both admitted, we're almost neglective on how we behave around the first kitten. The first kitten being more shy and less interactive with us. The second always coming around, following us, rubbing us (obviously he wants treats) and showed up with super confidence in his personality. Total opposite of the first that would rather hide under everything possible and wait and watch before coming back out.

Just saw an update saying the plane was asked to change runways late in its approach. To a cross runway, something apparently the FAA has been working to eliminate at airports.

There will be all sorts of finger pointing I am sure, but the one thing that seems to be consistent to me across all of the reporting is just how much flight traffic is going through there at any given time. That has already been a debate point in the past, obviously it will be again.
