    Thanks for the source. I’m going to hold out for some kind of third party investigation (not just one guy) but in the meantime I am not going to hold guiltless the administration that holds profit above life and fired the type of people who are supposed to keep this from happening. I have lived through too much death to give those freaks the benefit of the doubt.

    Put another way, hospitals and emergency rooms also did their job and did it well—that did not stop the larger systemic issues of misinformation, healthcare worker mistreatment and low wages from killing half a million Americans. There is potential for more complicated systemic issues at play than just the ATC or just the pilot. I appreciate your perspective of skepticism and I don’t hold it against you or anyone else but at this time it’s not for me.

      You can both wait for full information while also condemning the stupid decision to reduce an already too low number of ATC personnel. The fact that one happened right after the other doesn’t mean it was the cause, but it will certainly mean more problems like this (especially if one of the factors was indeed understaffing that night that already existed).
