Also, they mentioned the crash in DC while ignoring the one in Pennsylvania? Fucking assholes.

Agreed. Although, given what we know about that crash… FAA changes in the last several years probably had nothing to do with it. It’s almost surely going to end up being some sort of maintenance issue or possibly pilot error. Crashes immediately after takeoff usually are one of those.

Issues in flight, like doors flying off, etc. are more indicative of deeper issues.
