I’m here sitting in the terminal Awaiting my flight and witness that FedEx flight landed safely with an engine spewing fire. Thank God the crew did a great job getting it down.

@rockwwyy If you were ready to start flight school, you should know that the number of plane incidents this year is well within the norms of every single year. There is nothing extraordinary about the incidents we’ve had this year.

@jerrod99 I know it doesn’t help your agenda to focus on truth, but, an engine fire has nothing to do with ATC and actually happen more often than you think. There is very little extraordinary about any incident that has happened this year. The stats this year are very much in line with the last 10 years, no matter who has been in the Oval Office.
