  • Investigation underway: A UPS cargo plane crashed shortly after taking off from the Louisville, Kentucky, airport Tuesday, leaving a fiery trail of destruction and a half- mile-long debris field. At least 12 people have died and others are injured, officials say, warning the death toll could climb as the investigation continues.

  • Black boxes recovered: An NTSB investigation team is on site at the crash location and has recovered the aircraft’s “black boxes” - the cockpit voice recorder and the flight data recorder.

    I’m as anti CEO/billionaire as you, but people are also inherently lazy and selfish AF, and so negligence is possible at every level of this thing, except maybe the folks on board the plane. There’s no point in levying out blame until there’s actual information about what happened, rather than speculation.

      Unfortunately, I am expecting the Trump Regime to falsify any investigation into this, if only to protect someone from the blame. Plus, DOGE probably cut down the size of agencies.

      Hopefully I am wrong, but this year hasn’t been a great one.
