I remember this very well. I knew the family of two of the passengers. It's still sad to think about....
Anybody else wanna talk about the murder returning from visiting the scene of a crime?!?
Oh I know this crash
Brutal. Brilliant. Thank you.
Excellent writing and research, sir! Great transition between the intro and main story. Unsurprisingly, no insider trading charges either...good ol' capitalism in action.
This is terrifying, those poor families.
Once again sir you over delivered I don't know where that love you or to hate you sir lol cuz U citizen you make me so mad every time I listen to these programs I'm on the verge of doing something about it let's pick it let's do something we got to stop these corporations man concerned citizen u alright wit me baby
Also on board, Austin’s much loved musician Walter Hyatt of Uncle Walt’s Band.
This episode is amazing. CC has touched on water, land, food, entertainment, construction and now the sky how cost cutting greed never ends well.
Allegiant as the opener is amazing - they are the airline if choice every time the government charters a commercial plane for the military.
Impeccable research!
I can’t be the only person who is grateful you haven’t covered Boeing yet. We’d hate to lose Concerned Citizen to a mysterious 2-bullet suicide
Hope he doesn't cover Boeing until after I return from a long flights to Australia and back! Ha.
Ahhh something worth waking for!
My thoughts exactly
Another one… as DJ Khalid says 🤦♀️
"Allegiant Air was a tragedy waiting to happen. ValuJet was a tragedy that happened from waiting" Writing like this is why I've been a patron for so long, hot damn
They really fucking tried to pin it on warehouse workers.
I was wondering why you hadn't done valujet yet!
nothing better than a plane crash
2 plane crashes?
