Summary
A tourist helicopter carrying a Spanish family of five and a pilot crashed into the Hudson River near Lower Manhattan, killing all 6 aboard, including 3 children.
The Bell 206 helicopter plunged into the water inverted, missing its rotor blades, just over 15 minutes after departing the Wall St. Heliport.
Witnesses described loud noises and parts falling off before impact.
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is investigating, and Jersey City officials renewed calls for tighter air traffic safety.
Siemens also makes high speed electric trains and some of the most reliable car chargers.
Getting mad at a company that automates away meneal jobs because capitalism forces people to depend on doing shit work for the rich in order to eat is kinda short sighted imo.
Like yeah, if everything had to be done by hand it would put more money into the hands of the working class, but it would also make it harder for them to afford a decent lifestyle because everything would be more expensive; automation offers the potential for everyone to live better, we’re just using it in a system that privatizes the gains into a small pool of wealthy owners.
Don’t care
Corporations should do profit sharing and anyone rich enough to take off from a Wallstreet helipad is better off dead
It was a tourist flight to see the city, they cost like $200. This isn’t some sort of billionaire with a private helicopter, it was a family on vacation. Are the kids better off dead too? Wtf.
Im sure the company’s janitors are sobbing.
Corporations should be collectively owned.
It’s easy to ignore the suffering of others. Have you spent any time in villages where the richest people live like medieval peasants because the whole town hasn’t had any infrastructure improvements in over a century? “Rich” in those places just means slightly less desperately poor. They’re quite egalitarian, it’s just that they’re all broke together.
Don’t care, corporations should be collectively owned.
