Crime Jet crashes into SanDiego

[PEB]

I will avoid flying if I can because FAA is an absolute mess.

This is really curious. Unless it was about to land I dont know why it would have been flying low enough to clip a power line.

- Happened here in Brazil, killed brazilian singer Marilia Mendonça.

Seems to be more of a smaller plane issue.
Very very rarely do we get big airliners crashing.

Just had to do a check on a few people I know station out there who i thought were living in that Navy housing community. Thankfully one moved out and the other went on the encomy at the last min..

When I first read the headline I assumed it was the large airport in downtown SD and feared the worst. That one is a single runway with landing patterns over downtown....This is still tragic and terrifying for all involved though, and thankfully plenty of Military support organizations are helping out those in that community who are displaced. SD was a great community who really does support its military, when the Coast Guard didn't get paid during the shutdown they helped out, and during covid they did again.

Busiest single-runway airport in the US.

New terminal 1 can't come soon enough, and hopefully a 2nd runway some day!

Very rarely

Heard on the news today the airport they were landing at had technical issues, sounds like this pilot should've been rerouted to land elsewhere, but he radio'd "I'll give it a go" then crashed into the misty skies. Really sad situation and it's a miracle more didn't die on the ground

Hundreds of FAA staff fired by Trump administration, union says

The firings are part of a cost-cutting drive by the Trump administration, that aims to drastically cut the federal workforce.

www.bbc.com

The Trump administration has begun firing hundreds of Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) employees, weeks after a fatal mid-air plane collision in Washington DC.

Several hundreds of the agency's probationary workers received the news via email late on Friday night, head of Professional Aviation Safety Specialists (PASS) union David Spero said in a statement.

Spero called the firings "shameful" and said they "will increase the workload and place new responsibilities on a workforce that is already stretched thin".

The agency "has retained employees who perform safety critical functions", the FAA said in a statement.
"The FAA continues to hire and onboard air traffic controllers and safety professionals, including mechanics and others who support them," it added in a statement sent to the BBC.

The layoffs are part of a cost-cutting drive, driven by Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (Doge), that aims to drastically cut the federal workforce.

According to Spero's statement, workers affected include systems specialists, safety inspectors, maintenance mechanics and administrative staff, among others.

The article you quoted doesn't really agree with your angle though...

Yea it’s bullshit , any things going on with planes it’s turned into anti Trump material. Usually
They see it in Reddit then copy and paste.

A plane got a scratch in it , must be from MAHA cutting out regulations , project 2025 reeeeee

Zero air traffic controllers. What else would they have done with this private plane

Very rarely

Small craft are inherently more unsafe, plus the maintenance might be sketchy and then you throw in what is often an amateur pilot and you will get deaths.

Has anyone checked in on Monica @TeTe to make sure he’s ok and not affected by this?

Fortunately I'm doing alright but the neighborhood I live in isn't too far from where this happened.

I believe that airline travel remains the safest way to travel in the US compared to autos, and trains. Plane crashes do happen from time to time though unfortunately. Boeing's problems have been in the news quite a bit over the years. I hppe that DEI has not been a contributor to their problems but who knows.
