Families commemorate the 10th anniversary of a Germanwings plane crash in the French alps.

Monday marks the 10th anniversary of the Germanwings Flight 9525 plane crash, which killed all 150 people on board.

Memorial ceremonies are planned for 10:41am – the moment of the crash – at a German high school that lost many of its students and also in the French village of Le Vernet, near the crash site in the mountains.

Opponents of #ascism and #media outlets should stop using term #DEI in their coverage. We need plain language to describe what the right is saying when it blames every last tragedy from the CA #wildfires to collapsing #bridges to DC #planecrash on DEI. We need #cable #news #chyrons to say “#Trump #blames people of #color, #women for plane crash.” We need headlines to tell folks that President Musk wants #black folks and #LGBTQ people out of the federal government. bad-faith-times.ghost.io/dei-s #Facts

Bad Faith Times · DEI, Segregation, And The Bad Faith That Explains It AllThose on the right should not be allowed to sit behind the DEI shield any longer. If they won’t say what they mean, people should be told what they mean.

"180 Republicans voted to defund the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in 2019. These 180 Republicans voted against the Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2019, which included funding for the agency responsible for keeping air travel safe."

My guess that the #Philly #planecrash was possibly an aerodynamic stall has been dismissed by blancolirio as apparently others also guessed that. It was going well above clean stall speed and not climbing really high for the plane type. blancolirio seems to think it might be spatial disorientation, one pilot friend guesses trim/stabilizer issue and another says maybe they loaded fuel on only one side/there was an incident in the cockpit that interfered with the pilot. Other than acknowledging the turn right after take off (which they only did briefly) there was no communication or emergency declaration from the plane itself.

The answer? We do not know. Sadly the plane was older and did not have an FDR/CVR and it was at full thrust (with landing lights on) full nose down full of fuel and oxygen tanks so the damage is significant. I hope the NTSB will be able to piece this together and give their loved one's closure.

This is why #Mastodon is so important:

#Bluesky is owned by #crypto bros, it's not going to save you. The #plutocracy will call in their favors at the opportune time, and it's going to fall the same as #Twitter did. The manipulation you can't see is probably already underway

The #plutocrat strangulation of all #media is upon us

The #Fediverse is our #refuge, #sanctuary, and, grimly, perhaps our last hold out

The Desk · NTSB to stop emailing news outlets with updates on plane crashes, press briefingsThe NTSB says it will only notify the media about press conferences and investigative updates on two recent plane crashes via the social media platform X.

"It should have been a moment of national unity, a moment of national mourning. (And, Trump, let us remember, promised during his inauguration speech that he was going be a 'peacemaker and unifier.') The president’s reaction to this horrible loss of life wasn’t to do any unifying, however. It was to engage in divisive finger-pointing."

"Every day, the world seems to get stupider and stupider and our leaders seem to get nastier and nastier. Nobody expects empathy or accuracy from Donald Trump but, even by the extremely low standards to which he is held, his reaction to the tragic mid-air collision in Washington DC that killed 67 people on Wednesday night was shocking."

My 88yo mom was beside herself at the shattering #planecrash images & news out of #Philadelphia. I was on the phone with her for an hour trying to calm her down. She’s lived in the NE #Philly burbs since the 60s.

I visit once a week, but I’m going again tomorrow bc she was so upset. Usually I pass the Boulevard & Cottman on the drive from SJ, but now… 😢

I really don’t know what I’m trying to convey here. There’s so much awful, it’s hard to find a solid berth.
