We‘re not even halfway into the first week of 2024 and political assassination near the UN is now a thing? I’ll get the popcorn.At least one possible explosion has been reported near Roosevelt Island in New York City.
Roosevelt Island is located near the United Nations Headquarters in Manhattan, if anyone's curious.
It's been barely 3 days into the start of the year and we already have an aviation incident on top of an earthquake/tsunami, attempted assassination in SK and now a reported explosion in US.... 2024 is looking fine.Excellent engineering of the Airbus A350, exceptional piloting skills from the A350 pilots and sheer luck are what saved all 379 passengers and crew onboard Japan Airlines (JAL) Flight 516. Without any of them, this collision could've easily resulted in 200-300+ fatalities. This is also the first hull loss accident for the A350.
Sad to say, that JCG Dash 8 was actually on its way to deliver humanitarian supplies to the earthquake-hit Sea of Japan coastal regions.
Meanwhile, I can only think of three possible causes for this collision:
1. Fault of the Haneda Tower ATC (e.g. giving false instructions to the pilots); and/or
2. Fault of the pilots of the JCG's Dash 8 (e.g. entering an active runway without explicit ATC permission); and/or
3. Instrument/equipment failure (radio comms failure and absence of ground radar were major contributing factors to the 1977 Tenerife Airport Disaster).
Size comparison of the accident aircrafts: JAL Flight 516's A350 and CCG's Dash 8:

I am not sure whats the point of BRICS after adding these members. Its agenda will be driven by Mideast as those leaders have this unique ability to make every thing revolves around them. Even Africa and India are Mideastern by that logic. and no one will stop any free trade agreements with outside. and the countries that will want to enter will have heavy Mideast influence. and when that influence increases further it will be used for there own bargaining with the rest who are not in BRICS.
BRICS just got larger,

2nd casualty. Maybe next time the congress can just shoot the person saying the wrong words right in the room?So much for "academic freedom of speech" at Harvard/UPenn, when your Jewish alumni donors can force the PRESIDENT of the university out, that's a huge problem. Imagine Chinese alumnis forcing Ivy league presidents out because of rampant anti-CCP is construed as sinophobia... the US media would say these Chinese alumnis are doing the bidding of foreign gov'ts! The same would never apply to Jewish lobby/Israel.
