Fortunately, personnel from Morgan & Morgan™, America's largest billboard personal injury law firm, are rushing to the airfield to investigate the accident, take statements and offer their services to the injured to insure that they are properly compensated. "The way we plea, there is no fee."

I’d hazard a guess that the speed of impact was much more than 24mph, seeing how the nose of the aircraft was obliterated.

Aircraft, remember, are aluminum balloons with wings. Hit something solid, particularly if filled with incompressible fluid, is a bad day. People f*ck up, people die.

Is it just me or am I noticing more and more aviation accidents in the last 5 or 6 years? More than the 2010s.

It's definitely a thing. I've been an aviation nerd for years and in the past you'd just have one bizzare event here and there. The last "big" ones were MH370 and MH17, but we've had fatal commerical aviation accidents very frequent of late.

Why do you think that is?

More air traffic? Busier airports? More travelers? More flights in general? Overworked/understaffed positions?

According to one narrative, DEI.

MH17 was not an accident.
