It wasn’t just one thing, it was multiple things that went wrong that caused this accident. Tragic loss of life.

🚨Chilling surveillance footage has emerged showing the moment Air Canada Flight AC8646 collided with a Port Authority fire truck on the runway at LaGuardia Airport (LGA) last night. Authorities have confirmed that both pilots were killed in the crash. Dozens of passengers, along with the two fire truck occupants, were injured and transported to nearby hospitals. The airport remains closed as the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) begins its investigation into the deadly incident. Incident Summary • Flight: Air Canada Express AC8646 (operated by Jazz Aviation) from Montreal • Casualties: Captain and First Officer died; 40+ others hurt • Cause: Preliminary information and ATC audio indicate the fire truck was responding to a separate “odor” emergency involving a United Airlines flight and had been cleared to cross the runway, leading to the collision

Dear @LeaderJohnThune, you going on a 2 week vacation right now is pathetic.
You need to resign and just admit you are inept, lazy, and incapable of being in Leadership.
Signed,
America.

@ChuckGrassley @RapidResponse47 What about the rest of Trumps nominees. Still messing around with Blue Slips? How about no recess until the nations business is completed!!!!

@MCCCANM Ah yes , the premium push… been there done that, never works out for the long run. CASM on those planes is going to be very high.
English
The premium market is driving the airline industry at the moment. Delta & United have been the leaders in this regard…which is why they took nearly 100% of the U.S. industry’s profits last year.
Doesn’t appear to be slowing down.

@RepNancyMace @Delta How many times did you use that service?
English
We applaud @Delta.
If the Senate can't get it together and fund TSA, let them feel what every other American is feeling. Stand with the people you're supposed to serve.

@KFILE What, exactly, did I make up, Andrew? Please be specific.

ICE has completely cleared out the Florida airport where they were stationed.
The TSA lines are almost nonexistent. Great work

@AdamKinzinger Yeah- Biden administration really screwed up the FAA/ATC with DEI folks instead of merit….
English
Two pilots dead at LaGuardia. A lone controller managing two simultaneous emergencies. The FAA is 3,000 controllers short. We will blame the human. We should fix the system. (link in reply)

@brithume Brit - mueller was a no body with respect to the rest of the world. Families loose loved ones everyday, not everyone dies a saint and should not be treated as such.
English
Quote: "Mueller’s family didn’t deserve the president’s grave dancing. None of Trump’s many enemies do. But Trump also didn’t deserve Russiagate. Nearly a decade after that phony scandal, our republic is still trying to recover." thefp.com/p/robert-muell…

Jeff Daniels is a washed up delusional actor with severe TDS. He is human trash.

Looks like fire suppression system failed 🤦🏻♂️

Why is Christina Aguilera dressing like that on stage?
English
@ReverendWarnock Like cocaine in the Whitehouse? Like getting hummers in the Oval Office? How about conspiracy to over throw Trumps presidency? Take your false outrage and stuff it!
English
I still remember when presidents had to be dignified, show some decorum, especially in the wake of a human being's death. Now there is no bottom, no leadership or humanity at the top.

@davidshepardson @MCCCANM @united All this is code for, our credit card banking business makes enough that we can take the fuel hit.
English
New: @united CEO Scott Kirby send a long note to employees and seeks to differentiate the airline and Delta from other competitors: “United and Delta represented ~100% of the total US industry profitability last year. That means that higher oil puts a lot more stress on United’s competitors and that stress happens faster. We have the time and the luxury to ride this out and stay focused on the long term”

Name one case besides the Epstein network where this much evidence existed and so few arrests were made.
We’ll wait.

The Senate shouldn’t recess—not even for a weekend—until it has (1) funded DHS, and (2) passed the SAVE America Act
ThePersistence@ScottPresler
🚨Republican Senators, Hear Me Out🚨 Since democrats shut down the Department of Homeland Security, TSA agents have been working without pay for over a month & have already missed their first full paycheck. If that wasn’t bad enough, we’ve had 4 radical Islamic terrorist attacks on our homeland during this democrat DHS shutdown. Here’s my proposition: The Senate is supposed to go on recess from March 30 - April 10. 👉Senate Majority Leader Thune, band the entire Republican Senate caucus together & do not on go recess👈 Do not go home until the Department of Homeland Security is fully funded. Show the American people that you — the adults in the room & the leading party — is willing to forgo time with your families during Easter to put the well-being, safety, & security of the nation first. When democrat Senators go home for a paid vacation, while TSA agents can’t even pay rent, voters will be forced to realize the democrat party truly doesn’t care about workers or our homeland’s safety. If you do this, the Republican Senate will gain the support of tens of millions & — ultimately — we will force the democrats to reopen the very gov’t entity they shut down. 👉So, again, consider making a huge, powerful statement by not leaving Washington, DC, until the Department of Homeland Security is fully funded👈 We will have your backs.
