Holy fucking shit dude! I'm happy you're ok....
It has been a wild/weird time... Initially I was suppose to fly in Monday but since I had the flu and it got pushed its just a really odd hard to describe feeling...
The conspiracy theories people are running with right now and the wild and honestly unhinged stuff people are saying makes my blood boil. It would be much easier to say this was something done on purpose or because of DEI when the fact is so much sadder and complex than that. My heart breaks for the families having to see and hear this stuff because it just isnt true...
The sad fact is the US is greatly understaffed at the air traffic control level. A mix of a helicopter pilot error and air traffic being stretched thin was the perfect catastrophic mixture. There isnt a quick or easy solution which only makes it worse.
