Elon Musk wants air traffic controllers to come back. *Retired* ones. Who haven't worked in this for a while, maybe, don't know the current technology, possibly aren't as fast with the reflexes and extraordinarily spatially aware as you need to be to do that stressful and highly-skilled job cbsnews.com/news/elon-musk-ret #AirTraffic

#Musk states w/out any facts that #Verizon’s efforts 2 provide critically needed upgrade to #FAA #airtraffic control system is failing. And he said that it is important that #Starlink unit of his #SpaceX satellite & rocket company, take over. Verizon has massive $2.4B contract to provide long-sought upgrade to FAA’s communications system, known as the FAA Enterprise Network Services, or FENS, program.

American Airlines Pilots Perplexed After Witnessing "Super Bright" UFOs Over Texas
A strange phenomenon occurred over Dallas late last month when pilots seemingly spotted an unidentified foreign object (UFO) or alien craft. Since the congressional hearing, there has been increased scrutiny regarding UFOs.

Things are getting ...interesting. Be aware. Pay attention.

During the war on Ukraine by Russia the problem of GPS interference has severely increased.
Intended by predominantly Russia to disrupt the guiding features of modern western weapons it also interferes with air traffic.
This video shows what happens in the cockpit of a Danish airplane.

In this video we walk you through what GPS jamming and spoofing is, the difference between the two, and our new Flightradar24 GPS jamming map which shows you up to date info about where in the world GPS jamming is currently affecting aircraft. Then we let the pilots of our recent SAS flight from Copenhagen to Bangkok explain some of what they experience due to GPS jamming, and what they do to mitigate it.

Another #UPDATE about the #Chicago #OHareAirportProtests. (Approx 5pm local Central time.)🧵

40 people were eventually arrested. They were charged with misdemeanors and are expected to be released.

Either most of the protestors relocated or a new protest began by the evening rush hour in downtown #Chicago, near Clark and Adams Streets. This group eventually marched to LaSalle Street and Wacker Drive, where they have completely shut down traffic in both directions on Wacker Drive.

One protestor who became violent with police before eventually being arrested, was caught on camera and the footage has been played repeatedly on the news.☹️

Similar protests occurred in several other America cities, including #NewYorkCity, #SanFrancisco, #Philadelphia, and #SanAntonio #Texas.

An #UPDATE #video about the #Chicago #OHareAirportProtests. (Approx. noon local Central time.)🧵

Traffic has been reopened, but tollway and air travel are expected to be disrupted throughout the rest of the day. No arrests have been announced at this time.

It's a lovely day for a #protest. The weather this morning has been 65°F-70°F (18°C-21°C) and sunny.

[To explain some local terminology: with Chicago news media, "outbound traffic" does NOT mean "traffic which is leaving the airport," but instead means "any major road which is going away from the Chicago city center."]

#BREAKING #NEWS 🧵
#Protestors in support of #Palestine are engaging in a sitting #protest across a major highway, just outside of #OHareAirport in #Chicago. They have completely stopped all traffic coming into the airport, both for pick-ups and for drop-offs.

This is an extremely busy section of 8-lane roadway, and is also expected to affect other morning rush-hour commuter traffic in the area. The protest could possibly impact #AirTraffic across the country, as countless people have been unable to make their flights.

Protestors chose today because April 15th is #TaxDay, the "due date" for all US citizens to pay their taxes. The protestors want people to consider where their tax dollars are going.

Unfortunately, their message has gotten buried in the local headlines by the concurrent #TrumpTrial.

(I will update this post as better #video becomes available.)
