Just my experience but I know someone who is a lobbyist for a high profile brand and has said to me “the founders intended for this to be a Christian nation so making laws that reflect those values is okay” Not saying you are wrong but I have encountered at least one, and that one is in a very influential position.

So every church and its earnings go to the State… And Social Welfare programs become more widespread… And housing the homeless is now law… Lying during your campaign is an immediate expulsion from public office..

What else would make these fascists turn tail and reconsider?

My bet is they’re in prison/jail and don’t know they won.

I’m at a point where I wish our support forum was at least on Discord, the majority of my community is pretty old but it spans down into a handful of Gen Z with more Millennials and Z coming in as the Boomers get out. Even so the main forum is a Facebook page. Splinter groups using WhatsApp, Signal and iMessage. It’s not like the older gen is technically inept, for the most part, it’s just they’re entrenched and moving them would take a massive, easy to use software that is far superior to FB’s viability. Personally using Discord and it’s seamless jump from PC-Laptop-Phone is nice, admittedly I’m in the same mindset of those in my groups on FB as I haven’t tried anything else.

Lots of options, fuel starvation, contaminated fuel, exceeding the altitude limits of the aircraft or engines and improper restart procedures such as Pinnacle 3701 in 2004. Many many more options, the NTSB has very skilled accident investigators and almost certainly will find the cause, and then blame the pilots.

Yes, depending on the manufacturer they could have multiple pumps per engine, separate tanks, crossfeed from the opposite tank etc.

Well they lost both engines. Hopefully that’s what they focus on in the investigation.

I’m glad you wrote this because it was exactly what I needed to wrap my head around it too.

I can’t be certain by I’d wager that’s Hollywoodism seeping through. Either the podcast is wrong or the dispatch/officer on duty has it wrong. The first 48 hours are the most vital in finding a missing person, they would not want to waste half of that as procedure.

Edit: I don’t want you to just believe some rando online. Here’s some sources:

https://www.findlaw.com/legalblogs/criminal-defense/5-things-to-know-about-missing-persons-reports/

The federal law on missing persons: https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=(title:34%20section:40501%20edition:prelim)

Internationally (UK): https://www.missingpeople.org.uk/get-help/report-a-missing-person

This edit isn’t me trying to prove I’m right, more to just accurately educate. Hope the information is never needed!!

This is hilarious.

Name them, they need their SOP redone. I have never heard of this in real life and I would bet it’s a bad officer/dispatcher following Hollywood rules rather than their unit policy.

Then leave your stand to go look for the cooler guy, why isn’t he back yet??

PS, bring a beer.
