About 15 years ago, someone got promoted suggesting that the parachutes on the KC135 wasted space. They were removed.

Dumb stupid idea then. Could they have saved this crew? Who knows. But would be nice to have the option.

Too bad the hacker group doesn’t know how to get the unredacted Epstein files, and make them public across the world.

Spain reminds fellow Europeans why there’s an EU to begin with.
