Third Possible Air Disaster

Kachina624 — Fri, 07 Feb 2025 22:51:01 GMT

In Alasks, the Coast Guard is searching for a plane with 10 passengers thought to have gone down over water. Considering the temperature of those waters, this does not bode well for survivors.

@Kachina624 Fourth. Military fighter jet crashed in I believe Alaska and the pilot bailed out. Around the end of January--maybe 29th????

There was also the incident where two planes' touched & clipped their wings at Logan airport in Boston. (CBS is describing it as "clipped" while others are saying "touched" and assessed for damage.)

And I believe there was another incident at Seattle where one that was taxi-ing struck the tail of another plane.

So...six incidents?

I just read that they found the plane with 3 dead bodies on board. It crashed on ice and snow. There are pictures of the plane. Daily Mail has the information . It was 34 miles SE of Nome.

@Love my grandkids. I saw the pics too. Looked to be embedded in the ice/water.

I guess the sky isn't big enough for 2 planes to fly in.

You heard of 'share the road' ? How about 'share the sky'.

I have my own ideas of what's going on with the air traffic controllers, pilots, etc.

The crashed plane was found, with no survivors.

Too many plane crashes lately... what's going on?

So sad to read the outcome, especially for their families!

These plane disasters are sooooo sad. It breaks my heart.

I'm not all that surprised though. So many factors go into each one that resulted in the horrible, especially inadequate staffing of air controllers and the firing of the head of the federal department over them.

The FAA administrator announced he resigned in December and that he would step down on Jan. 20.

I fly a lot and back in January we flew home from Europe. During that flight, I commented to my husband that I’ve never seen so many planes flying so near us during the flight. Maybe I never noticed before? Or the skies are more crowded?
