    I am so sad for you sir. My prayers are with you! I lost my two sons in same wreck of a vehicle. 25 years ago. 18 and 28. My faith kept me upright! I have my daughter. I am thankful for that. I will pray for you and your family. My oldest son had a wife and three children. Let them know it is ok to talk about their father. Hugs from an old old Grannyi. I know you are so proud of him - and all US citizens I know say thank you - and your son for service to this country. My oldest served in Desert Storm. It's so hard to know what to say at a time like this - other than prayers and much love!

      Yeah, these military folks used civilians as their training tools, without giving the citizens the ability to be aware of it or provide consent. As a native Virginian, can’t say I will ever look at flying the same knowing some barely experienced military pilot can be using me and the plane I am on as their target practice.

    heres ur evidence why this mans son is dead , do ur research instead of lockstepping.
    An aspiring air traffic controller who claimed he was denied a job because of diversity targets said the aviation agency’s obsession with inclusion made an accident likely to happen.
    Andrew Brigida, 35, scored 100 per cent in his training exam but alleged that he was denied a position in an air traffic control tower because the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) recruitment process favoured diverse candidates. He is part of a class action lawsuit filed against the federal agency. Daily telegraph.

      ⁠@@bolaadetiba8220killing 66 people due to mistakes made from having barely 500 flight hours experience while attempting to tackle one of the most challenging air spaces in the country doesn’t really deserve a lot of respect. Maybe the fault really lies with the military for allowing this or promoting it as competence, but either way, respect for mass killings isn’t really warranted. 🤷‍♀️

    My coworker was in that AA plane. My other coworker that was with us in San Diego who worked with him everyday also said she immediately felt that it was him in that plane when she heard the news, even thought it wasn’t his normal route. We found out yesterday that his original flight was connecting through Dallas but it was delayed and he would’ve missed his connection, so he unfortunately changed flights last minute. He was 71 and an amazing human being. A total rockstar at our company for 14 years. The best on our team and one of the hardest workers I know. So sorry for his family and grandkids he left behind. 😔🙏
