What. The. Actual. Fuck⌠Damn, i really hate this shit.
Interesting.
Can someone who knows the implications of ADS-B vs a regular transponder chime in? I can appreciate that ADS-B IN wouldâve made a big difference to the helicopter pilots, even if they werenât transmitting. Would the passenger jet be unable to detect a nearby helicopter in time (granted they were approaching the landing and probably very busy) if the helicopter had ADS-B OUT switched off?
Donât even bother to read the damn comments in the Yahoo site. People are simultaneously blaming DEI in the military and supporting the military for turning off ADSâB on all military flights (for the good of national security). 
Hopefully some bots too, or even paid trolls, if that gig still exists. I find it helps to remind myself of that possibility.
Never, ever read the comments anywhere on yahoo, if you bother with yahoo.
Decades ago yahoo news pubâd a story re: redheadsâ having twice the nerve endings as people w/other hair colors. Half the comments on the story suggested their fellow males should hit their redheaded GFs even harder so theyâd suffer more.
Nothing there has changed.
From article:
Senator Ted Cruz said: âThis was a training mission, so there was no compelling national security reason for ADS-B to be turned off.â
Cruz said something sensible?!? Now thereâs a sign of the end times.
If the helo was broadcasting ADS-B, the airliner should have received a TCAS (traffic collision avoidance system) warning and could have taken evasive action.
This is the sort of warning you get: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VEP9Bui1_U
Flying in crowded airspace like this without ADS-B out is highly irresponsible unless there are special circumstances, but it seems like theyâve decided every flight is special circumstances.

Plane leasingâs top executive projected on Wednesday that the price of an already-troubled Boeing 787 will increase by 40%, if a 25% tariff were in place. The American aerospace giant would be effectively sequestered within the countryâs borders.
Aengus Kelly, CEO of AerCap, spoke with CNBC on Wednesday. He said that tariffs imposed by Trump would unevenly split the global aircraft market, Boeing being left with just the United States, while Airbus would have the rest of the world:
âIn an absolute worst case scenario, say, a 25% increase across the board on tariffs, a tit-for-tat from both sides â a Boeing 787, the price will go up by $40 million. No oneâs going to want to pay that.â

Meanwhile, paramedics tended to one of the rappers, who was shot twice in both legs.
Twice, in both legs, or twice, once in each leg?
Umm, âyesâ?
Can we put the woke back yet?
Same story, I hope!
On flight to Seattle. So far no fires or shootings. Lets see if I get there in one piece.
Eep! I wouldnât want to do that.
Very brave of you! I wouldnât want to fly these days unless I for some reason I had to.
No survivors found after plane crashes outside of Pitt-Greenville Airport, officials say
Emergency crews responded to a private plane crash on Friday morning in Greenville.
The crash involving a Beech A36 Bonanza aircraft occurred around 7:50 a.m. near the intersection of North Memorial Drive and Belvoir Road, close to the Pitt-Greenville Airport.
In a press conference, the North Carolina State Highway Patrol said that although no survivors have been located, human remains were found at the scene.
To be fair, I suppose a small private plane crash away from an airport may not be something one can pin on the current misadministration.
