Re: More people murdered by pilot at the controls of a plane than by mass shooters

I'll add to the thread drift to say that a video I saw last night (cannot find the link this morning) was done by a pilot or at least he was in a pilot's uniform. The bottom line was that the helicopter pilot asked for and was granted "visual separation" which meant that he had eyeballs on the plane that was landing but he was actually watching a plane that was further out in the landing pattern and not the one that closest to him that he actually hit. The case is easy to make that ATC should have been the 2nd set of eyes in that matter, especially given the volume of traffic involved but was understaffed with one controller working two jobs.

Unconfirmed news this morning is that 1,000s of ATC applicants were turned away because they had the wrong skin color. So where does "death by government intent" show up compared to mass shooters?
