The plane that crashed was a MD11, a wide body cargo plane. This plane looks smaller. And why is the video playing on a screen in a kitchen? This isn't the Louisville crash.

The MD 11 is a very large wide body aircraft. This isn't an MD 11

Nobody should make declarations about airplane crashes until the fire is out and the investigation has started. How is this the administration's fault? One engine was on fire as it took off.

This has nothing to do with the FAA. Engine fire at takeoff.

It’s conspicuous to me that we know nothing about the people that Jahn shot, all three of them detainees, one of them dead.

Trump should demand they release all the Epstein files and associated documents. We all know ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WILL HAPPEN. He won't be prosecuted, and he will pardon any of his pals who are prosecuted. MAGAts will still vote for whomever he tells them to, and congress will do nothing.

You're watching the wrong threads. I just blocked a guy who claimed repeatedly I was lying when I posted 2 stories about the Texas National Guard's work on the flooding in the Hill Country. He claimed there was no response at all and called me all kinds of names. I told him to go back to X/Twitter.

House Veterans' Affairs Democrats tweeted: After serving our country, far too many veterans return home to doctors who say, "I don't know how to help you." This is due to DoDs refusal to share critical exposure data with VA. Veterans deserve healthcare providers who understand (cont in image...)

At least 9 years. Iknow the county only has about 50,000 permanent residents,but I think they couldhave afforded the $1 million to install sirens. They didn't want to do it because they were ugly.

Yes, and their County Judge even said in apress conference that they didn't have one at all. CodeRED isn't perfect, but it's better than nothing. Such a tragedy.

Some Texas flood alerts were delayed as officials waited for authorization, former Kerr County official says
Recordings provided to CBS News showed first responders asking for an emergency alert to be sent, but dispatchers delayed because they needed special authorization.

There is a LOT of help being sent. But the damage zone is almost 60 miles long. I read an article where she's quoted as thanking all the rescuers and volunteers who've helped them.

Alligator Auschwitz. However, I wish the president (of any party) would stay out of the way during a disaster response. This one in particular will add nothing to the discussion, and security and logistics for the president pulls resources from the response efforts. Let him go golfing.

Why are you obsessed with trolling me? All I did was point out that the Texas National Guard was onsite helping with flood response after you falsely claimed they weren't. You're lying when you tell me you live in Texas. Nobody here is talking like that.

Texas can't adequately warn people about deadly floods, but it can immediately let me know that a cop got hurt 250 miles away from me.
A "blue alert" from the state of Texas for an injury to a cop 250 miles away from where I live.

Wow. YOU are just like MAGAts. (For the record, I haven't voted for a Republican in decades.) I've lived in Texas 40 years. This is my home. But nobody deaerves that kind of suffering. However, I sincerely hope whatever suckhole you live in gets decimated by some natural disaster.
