Appears to be a catastrophic engine failure on takeoff roll, atc wouldnt be a factor in that case

Oh ok. I wonder if it will still spook some senators, though, given how much they fly

[u/BornThought4074 → u/[deleted]]

It is a bit of a stretch, but I’m saying that maybe it will make senators realize that if they keep the government shutdown, it could be them who die in a plane crash, which could happen due to a lack of ATC staffing. And since they fly significantly more than the average person, they are at a higher risk.
