Just watched the CBS NY 12 o’clock news no mention of nationality of student pilot, yet English news has that and his name. Un frikin believable!

FBI Director Comey has directed Inspector Clouseau to investigate. Before he left the office Clouseau was given direct orders from Director Comey and AG Lynch to make sure all involved in the plot was given blanket immunity.

Press Conference at 10 to publicize the findings of the long indepth investigation.

Don’t flame me like this picture! But, Senecas are twin-engine trainers that are quite capable of crashing on their own accord for a myriad of reasons.

I am interested in what the passenger has to say.

How about more carefully vetting our student pilots—as we’ve promised for 15 years now?

Huh? Never new “lengthy investigations” were only “a few days” long!

When fatalities are involved, details are often not released until next of kin have been notified.

If you are on the no fly list, would that prevent you from taking flying lessons?

Student pilot Feras M. Freitekh...

...I wonder what the 'M' stands for?

It couldn't be this guy, could it?

Just Blocks away from Pratt and Whitney Aircraft Co. Hmmm I wonder if that was a target?

How does that work? The student just overpowers the instructor?

There are dual controls. The student can overpower the instructor if he is strong enough.

But, this was on final approach. The instructor may not have been able to react fast enough to prevent the crash.

They were on final approach to land at an airport.

The proximity of PW was probably just a coincidence.

At one point in my life I actually admired the FBI.

At one point in my life I thought our government officials were decent people.

Trump will be all over this.

The reverse could have been true, had Trump been in Connecticut.
