What's wrong overedge? Your real life is lacking, so you want to lord over others on a message board? :rolleyes:

Evening news said there was one controller in the tower that night covering both plane and helicopter traffic. I feel for him to. He's got the weight of all those lives on his mind.

In Halifax I listened to some of Toller Cranston's commentary, when I wasn't actually in the arena. Like Dick, Toller could be refreshingly outspoken. Oops! Changed the subject again.

Fleming, by comparison, would say generic things that could apply to any skater. She didn't do her homework.

I blame the internet. Now the crazies know they're not alone anymore.

The only thing the controller might have done differently is to make sure that he/she and the helicopter crew were talking about the same plane. Of course, at night, every plane looks the same.

Someone on YouTube suggested that it's also the jet copilot's responsibility to look for traffic. The Black Hawk would have approached him from the right, but maybe below his field of vision. The jet was descending and the helicopter was ascending. The helicopter crew may have been focused on...

I frequent another message board. It has nothing to do with skating. Over there, someone had started a thread about the midair collision. On that message board everything, and I mean everything, turns into a left/right fight. The most vocal arguers are basically just 10 guys with no life...

Interesting. Even by Trump standards, it seemed weird to turn it into a blame game so quickly.

In private, I'm not so sure he really believes that. He's just playing his game. It seems to be working. Look how much DEI dialog he's generated on this thread.
