  1. Texas showing us why Repub states are at the bottom of the barrel. Again.

  2. Ah, what’s a small piece of a wing ? 🤷🏾‍♂️

  3. thats the guy on the air crash disaster episodes

  4. Sounds like the bare minimum was achieved by a generation that got trophies for showing up. what did you expect? exceptionalism?

  5. ATC are working from home

  6. more ATC not paying attention this isnt the first time and getting worse

  7. I'm done sitting tight for the award advance since i acquire $23,000 every 12 days of my investment..

  8. Guess air traffic controllers were busy cleaning their guns

  9. One lucky one , its too many already!

  10. Not ever trusted in the world, just as every time it has ever been.

  11. This is one reason why we need high speed rail

  12. Austin is not that busy you have to stack them that close. The controller screwed up.

  13. Austin needs an airport overhaul all the way around. They chance a collision every time a plane pushes back without coordination, as they do there!

  14. I can’t believe people are going up into the air on these metal death traps invented by cancer-ridden engineers with cancer-ridden pilots behind the wheels 😂
