Expert weighs in

Ron Alvarado, a former Marine One commander and pilot, said medical transport flights can be grueling. "This type of a mission can be very challenging because the days can be long," he noted Alvarado.

I bet they were underpaid and overworked and a series of human errors led to this. Or it was a Boeing plane.

Boeing has had its problems lately, but using their name tongue-in-cheek isn't fair or funny in light of this tragedy. It was a smaller jet, a Learjet 55.

Wait is this another plane crash?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 days ago

Yes, though it was a much smaller plane. 6 people on board.
