I'm a day behind on this one, I kept waiting for more information but it never seemed to come ....
Yesterday afternoon (2025 Feb 19) 2 small planes flew head on into each other .... so far all I can find out is .... it happened mid-air .... it was shortly away from a small airport in Arizona - I don't know if that has anything to do with it, but you never know.
There are believed to be only 2 dead - since each plane was supposed to only have pilots aboard ....
What the heck is going on?????
This is like the 5th or 6th crash in as many weeks ....
I've heard some newscasts on CBS News try to say that it has to be because of DOGE .... but this isn't even effected by DOGE ... but Delta Airline's CEO said that the 300 jobs lost had nothing to do with the crashes - that they weren't safety involved positions.
But, I cannot see ATC being at fault either ... While, yes, they are overworked and stressed out .... I don't think they would be putting 2 planes on the same route!
I guess they have got to stop saying that flying is the safest way to travel for a bit - until they can find out what the heck is happening up there.
I know after the 9.0 Earthquake - which caused that huge tsunami - it took them a few days to figure out that ALL the gps coordinates in planes and one runways were OFF by enough to cause other problems.
Like - runways not being where they were supposed to be. I think they were off by 5 degrees or something - it didn't seem like very much but if you've ever worked with polar coordinates, you'll soon realize that it's actually quite a lot.
I find it rather interesting that Delta has offered $30,000 EACH to the survivors of the MSP to Toronto flight - the one that landed upside-down ... and that somehow, accepting the money will not release them from going after the company later on. Usually, you have to sign a "release statement/clause" so you can't go after them later for more money ....
We will have to see what happens.
