The plane crash in Florida is devastating in so many ways

When PFT said “thats what we think” to the icing question

As a student pilot studying for the exam now. This guy doesn’t know shit about how icing works

Bullshit You didn’t listen to it lol

Best explanation yet. Worth the read @PFTCommenter

They drove into the heart of storm when you're supposed to avoid them by 20 miles. They crew was known for doing risky things that broke protocol and not understanding turbulence.

Right outside Mar-a-Lago, 8 miles away

Yeah. Football dumbs who never made it past the draft are not who should be speaking on things that matter. Stay in your lane and shut the fuck up, plenty of qualified accounts will have this. Take a step back.

It was not ice. This dude has no clue what he’s saying. Also the comments on here are ridiculous. The girl was not the pilot flying and making decisions. It was a 55 year old experienced pilot.

For those getting worried over 1 flight look at these numbers and think of how often a plane crashes. At any given moment, roughly 5,000 to 5,500 planes are airborne in United States airspace, while globally, an average of 12,000 to 14,000 aircraft are in the sky at once (surging up to 24,000+ during peak travel hours). The Numbers at a Glance • United States Airspace: • At any given moment: ~5,000 to 5,500 planes are in the sky. • Daily average: The Federal Aviation Administration handles more than 44,000 to 45,000 total flights daily (including commercial, general aviation, air taxi, military, and cargo), with total daily unmanaged/general aviation pushing estimates closer to 80,000+. • Worldwide Airspace: • At any given moment (Average): ~12,000 to 14,000 aircraft. • At peak hours: Over 24,000 aircraft. • Daily average: Roughly 100,000+ flights take off globally each day.

6 miles away is not right outside..

Wish we could figure out a “lifeboats” for ships type situation for planes. Obviously unrealistic and can’t have children using ejector seats and flying through the air but man if they could enter an emergency escape pod that would put them into the ocean like when NASA reenters

Right after hearing the recording I said, "I wish I'd never heard that." That little girl, the copilot, was so brave, and did a great job. While the captain was reciting the Lord's prayer she was relaying information to the tower. Impressive. Godspeed.

That was not a good explanation lol

Devastating is right. Nine lives lost, two of them children. Praying for every one of those families. DOCUMENTED: at 12:47 the crew reported "light, clear ice that is manageable." (NTSB) REPORTED (MyRadar, Matthew Cappucci): the storm cell it flew into "grew to 48,300 feet by 12:56 p.m." The NTSB hasn't ruled. No blame here, just the timeline.

I hobbled away from this crash a long time ago. The cause was ice on the plane and overloaded.

Oh fuck I’m never flying again. It was already bad enough. Thansk pft

The thing about radar is that it’s always a few minutes behind real-time conditions. The “error”, if you will, is that they took the radar imagery at face value when deciding which direction to take, thinking that they could shoot the gap and then go over top of the aforementioned cell. However, as mentioned, in that time between the latest radar return and decision to shoot the gap, the cell continued growing, unbeknownst to the PIC, putting them right into the storm in the time it took them to reach the “flyover” point. Because of what they saw on radar at the time when they saw it, they expected to be going over top of the cell, not going right into it.

Not the general consensus

Man, more people die in car crashes than planes. When someone dies in a car crash we ain’t scared of driving again. Funny how we are scared of flying when we hear about accidents like this

“I forget how to explain it” = i have no idea what the hell im saying

It was not by Mara Lago. It was on military trail in the hood close to a Popeyes and a Mexican used tire shop.

That’s actually not a bad description of what likely happened

Commercial aircraft have way more advanced anti-ice systems than smaller planes do typically

What do you mean by, “somebody pulled the communications between the cockpit…”?

These guys are retarded

Why is Jerry O’Connell calling this guy for info about a plane crash?

I’m so sick of the “I didn’t listen to it” “don’t listen to it it’s too disturbing” ; don’t people realize I see humans getting blown into bits by drones on a daily basis on instagram and X , some audio of a retarded girl boss copilot narrating the plane crash that’s happening in real time is not “scary” it’s fascinating and interesting like a car crash on the side of the road.

Low T has to get on planes though. The world needs to react.

Fuck ice

Is this a skit? They both have a weird smirk on their faces when talking.

Also a lot of the weather data we use is from planes and is a sort of composite so it’s very easy to believe that the radar could’ve been off

They told her to go around the storm, and she did not change direction.

I’m still dealing with this one emotionally. As a parent and a fan of aviation there is so much tragedy. RIP to the victims. Preventable.
