    Though the crew involved in the New Mexico crash was warned that GPS interference may be present, there evidently weren’t enough safeguards or air traffic control personnel in place to prevent a tragedy.

    Why on earth did they bury this as the last paragraph instead of addressing it as the subject? The systemic failure is the story here - GPS jamming exercises are common in the US and have been since the system was established, but only under the current admin have we suddenly seen the collapse of US air traffic control and the removal any sort of inter-agency coordination.

      Musk told him ai could do it so he’s demanding that. Ai is nowhere near ready to take over air traffic control. So doge fired most of our already spread thin air traffic control and now there’s shit like this. There have been others and there will be more. It’s buried at the end because the media is complicit and trying to hide Trump’s failures.
