How many hours (minutes?) are we away from Trump tweeting about how wokeness and DEI caused this tragedy? You know it’s coming. That dude has such an immense talent in being the absolute worst person at the absolute worst moment in absolutely every possible scenario.

I don't think that happens. Even he isn't that dumb.

Yes, because scoring a political point is far more important than mourning the dead and extending our empathy and compassion towards them. Some of y’all are exactly the same as the trump magats who bring up border security every time an immigrant is accused of committing a crime.

Can we have one fucking day to mourn without some fucking twat trying to score a political point? Just one, please?

1. OK, I agree that pointing fingers about this is completely pointless. Accidents happen. This was unlikely to have been the fault of any specific group of people, save perhaps the deceased pilot(s) and what's the point in that? It seems that this sort of thing was bound to occur given the congestion in that airspace.

2. But WTF are you talking about, a day to mourn? Mourn who? Mourn what? Did you have friends or family on the plane? If not, wtf are you talking about? Nobody is stopping you from "mourning" whatever that means to you. Do you mourn all the people who died of cancer yesterday? Or a heart attack?

Super, fuck you.
 
By the way, this was supposedly runway 33. Why are there 33 runways at that airport? There can't be that many, are there? I don't get the numbering.

Thank you. That makes more sense.

(y) (I took a bit of a media break for a bit to recharge my batteries, unfortunately now I have to start paying attention again)

I work with this data at work. Landing on the same pavement but coming from the opposite direction would be labeled runway 15.

And if there are parallel runways slap an "L" or an "R" on the end to distinguish.

That was you. I found that response mystifying, so I asked you about it. You are the problem here. You are usually the problem. Now you're trying to contend that asking a clarifying question about an obviously nonsensical and angry post is trolling. What is it with you, man? You have such a short fuse. You tore into me for an innocuous joke about Belicheck for no reason. You turned the basketball thread into an ugly flame war.

Oh, this makes less sense to me. I mean, I get it but it's weird. Fortunately, it doesn't matter what I think about it.
