Q said "7/10 plane crashes targeted takedowns". Did he mean that 7 out of 10 air crashes are on purpose?

Ron Brown immediately comes to mind.

That’s my read. Airplane accidents (particularly private aviation) are an easy way to take care of things without drawing too much attention. “Pilot error” in these things happens so often, it’s never questioned?

Remember that unusual mid-air collision in the UK right over a Rothschild property?

Track the number of Congress critters retiring or flat out resigning compared to a normal election cycle.

Notice some of the CEOs dropping out (Google, ESPN).

An heir to the WaPo actually killed himself.

Is this just coincidental or a spike in events in alignment with normal probability distributions?

Who knows?

Who is forcing these CEOs into these exotic vacations in small private jets?

Nobody is forcing them. Their ego is leading them to put themselves in their family at risk by getting into expensive airplanes that they have no idea how to fly. Money cannot buy professional piloting experience but it can buy all the hardware.
