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.

They went anyway!!

You can't measure the incompetence of this administration.

It should be embarrassing, but to 30% of American voters, it isn't.

This one instance is similar to bombing the girl's school in Iran.
Or there's the disgrace of helping bring the Tate brothers out of Romania so they can return to the U.S. after facing serious allegations. It's appalling. And I'll call out Tucker Carlson, Charlie Kirk, and Candace Owens for defending or promoting them as well.

Trump and his administration represent the lowest standard of leadership I've seen. How does a country with so much talent, innovation, and potential end up elevating grifters like these to positions of power?

I hope this serves as a wake-up call for the country, but if I'm being realistic, I'm not convinced it will. There are still too many morons that think this type of 'leadership' is good. Astonishing.

Not even the normal maga derps on this board have stepped out and jumped on the OPs grenade, but there is always one of you idiots who will.

Losers who voted for this **** show, congrats on another massive failure backed up by innocent dead people.

What Actually Happened​


On the night of May 14, 2026, a Beechcraft King Air medevac (air ambulance) plane left Roswell, New Mexico, headed to Sierra Blanca Regional Airport near Ruidoso to pick up a patient. There were four people on board (two pilots and two medical crew). No patients were aboard.


While the plane was in the air:


  • The U.S. military was running GPS-jamming exercises (part of an event called NAVFEST) at White Sands Missile Range.
  • The medevac crew lost GPS signal.
  • At least three other planes in the area also reported losing GPS at the same time.
  • Air traffic controllers contacted the military and got them to temporarily stop the jamming.
  • The pilots then told controllers they had the airport in sight and requested a visual approach.
  • Controllers allowed the military to resume jamming.
  • Shortly afterward, the plane crashed into the Capitan Mountains, killing everyone on board. The crash also started a large wildfire.

Current Status​


  • The NTSB released a preliminary report confirming that military GPS jamming was active during the flight and was part of the sequence of events.
  • However, the NTSB has not yet determined the official cause of the crash. A final report is expected sometime in 2027.
  • Pilots had been warned in advance (via FAA notices) that GPS interference was possible in the area that night.

Just posted the official known facts as they are currently known and didnt speculate one way or the other like the op and the leftist source they provided. People should wait for the investigation to conclude so they dont end up with egg on their face like so many other claims made by them in the past....

The incompetence is the only impressive thing about this joke of an administration

Trump supporters are not Americans
Yeah, but did they at least have enough testosterone in their systems to make Bill Romanowski blush?

That’s the important thing here.

President Donald Trump has strongly dismissed reports of critical U.S. munitions shortages, asserting that the United States possesses "massive amounts" of weapons and ammunition. These comments directly respond to media reports claiming that a five-month conflict with Iran under Operation Epic Fury has depleted up to 80% of U.S. long-range precision missile and interceptor stockpiles

Well, if Trump said it, it must be true. That guy never lies, right?

How many people is this government going to kill by not having enough ATC? There’s this one, a plane and military helicopter colliding at National, and an overworked ATC losing track of a truck at an understaffed LaGuardia causing a collision with a plane. ffs enough is enough

"Though the trigger-happy Border Patrol grunts evidently thought they were firing at drug-smuggling drones"

That's what you call high-quality, objective reporting. Unbiased, Mizzou School of Journalism-type ****.
