Holy Shit! I flew on United to Denver on January 6th. I was almost murdered by United! I am literally shaking.

Shit happens. ATC is extremely good and professional in this country. Sometimes you catch a controller when they're on the phone calling a tower, center or approach and are unable to answer. Great on the pilots for getting it down safely.

According to Superman, Air Travel is still one of the safest forms of transportation.

That being said, if that happened on a plane I was flying on, I would be losing my shit. I was just clowning on AOC before but every time I fly, all of these thoughts go through my head because I’m not in control of the plane.

I don’t even like being a passenger in a car. I want to drive.

My bad for not realizing the quote, but perfect fit for it. Air travel isn't for everyone, but my anxiety is split between the mask police, TSA and whether I'm magically put on the no fly list because I'm a Trump supporter. The flying itself is the least of my worries.

Jen Psaki: You should take comfort that President Joe Biden has diversified Air Traffic Controllers to upgrade the number of minority and transgendered flight controllers. Isn't that special?

Don't quite agree. To be fair his first communication wasn't clear. "...experienced en' frr need a turn..." then he added "mayday mayday" and he got immediate help. God be with, and bless, our air mariners. It is so hard, what they do.

Keep in mind, when a pilot declares an emergency, the ATC needs to stop ALL traffic on the ground ASAP and get them off the runways so there are no collisions on the way back. This delay could've created a major problem.

It wasn't tower. It was a departure controller and the pilot was transmitions were cut off. The controller did a good job. Asked which way he could turn and remained calm.

Sadly the red states are really good at food stamps...

You’re dead right about blue states being absolutely incompetent though.

That's the crazy thing, the food stamps are literally turning them into blue states!

Yeah... I had a blue pill moment when I actually researched which states pay a surplus of taxes and which states have a net receipt.
