Forty-eight hours after a midair collision that the President correctly says should never have happened, a second plane has fallen from the skies - thirty seconds after takeoff in Philadelphia - and crashed into a nearby row of houses, where it exploded "like a missile":

It was a Learjet air ambulance bearing a sick child and her mother plus two doctors and two pilots. Presumably they had been visiting the city's world-renowned children's hospital. All are dead. The casualties on the ground are not yet known.
~Yesterday some commenters argued I should not be speculating on the DC crash until the investigation has been completed. That's the same argument the dirty stinkin' rotten corrupt FBI give us about presidential assassination attempts and pretty much everything else. Increasingly in America, speculation is all there is ...because the "investigation" is never "completed". Hours before the second air crash of the week, Powerline printed excerpts from the latest mailout of Abe Rosenthal's Commentary's email:
Here's a current-events quiz aimed at regular news consumers: Why did Los Angeles officials ignore dozens of warnings about the county's failing water system in the run-up to this year's wildfires? What caused the Dali cargo ship to crash into the Francis Scott Key Bridge almost a year ago? Who was the captain of that ship? Why were security bollards not in place on Bourbon Street when a terrorist attacked New Orleans on New Year's Day? What was the ISIS-inspired jihadist who carried out that attack doing in Egypt and Canada in the summer of 2023? And why did a gunman shoot and attempt to assassinate Donald Trump last July in Butler, Pennsylvania?
Don't feel bad about not knowing the answers. You never got them.

Add Las Vegas shooter to the list. There are so many. Sigh.
Incisive and insightful, as Mark always is.
Number one on that list should be: Exactly where did the Covid virus come from?
As we all know, that virus killed millions and disrupted entire economies. Yet we are told next to nothing about its origin. Something happened in some Chinese lab…maybe.

We sure do live in interesting times
Two DEI crashes in 2 DAYS.
I would much rather have him do the EIB show instead of Clay and Buck who just talk about their testosterone levels and high T merchandising.
Another question: could the plane’s sudden stop and drop have been caused by a collision with one of those SUV sized drones?
“Capitalism” has its drawbacks…
It apparently just nose dived straight in.
I said to my wife this morning that if this second crash was presented as, a 44 year old jet that was based in Mexico crashed on takeoff in icy conditions in Philly….the story would not sound sinister. It would “make sense.” You would read it and say, “Yeah…that sounds tragic, but I get it.”
Instead…we get Twitter Pilots talking about missiles.
Hopefully the Trump administration will push for answers.
The DS must be denied and We The People, via Kash Patel, must be requited!
Corruption and EVIL continue to destroy the prosperity and potential of the USA and
all of Western Civilization.
Agreed, AbolishCSEU, but I’m not sure he’s physically up to the demands. At least when he’s writing, he can take a break whenever necessary.
Interesting times.
Thirty seconds after takeoff -the first thought I had was: “could they have collided with a drone?” There are many of those hazards in the air around urban areas.
I am getting completely gobsmacked by the sheer stupidity of commentators who are supposedly “experts” when these things happen.
On the Philly crash, comments about “the plane possibly stalled”. No idiot, before you can even fly solo, you have to learn how to recover from a stall. Without an engine a plane is just a real heavy glider. Push the nose over, pick up airspeed, then level out. Can usually be done in 1-2 hundred feet of elevation, they had 1600ft. You do not fly at full speed at a 45 degree angle to the ground!
Most likely cause of Philly IMHO is either a) O2 tank exploded or b) Drone Strike took out control surfaces and at least 1 engine. It did appear it was on fire when it was coming down.
