SoxAce Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 (edited) The LeBron interview from YESTERDAY is fucking creepy.. like he was reading a eulogy (and yes I know he passed him in all time points).

I don’t think John Altobelli is related to Joe. Seeing online John had a son JJ play for the Oregon Ducks years ago and his player profile didn’t mention Joe...which it probably would have if they were related. Hope JJ can take care of his surviving step sister. Such a tragedy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soxfan49 Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 The audio of the flight is out on youtube now. It's not too bad, as you don't hear it hit or anything, but man it's so f***ing weird. He asks for special tracking due to the weather, the person at control says that he's too low, it tells us the signal is lost and that's it. So eerie.

Just to clarify this point, as the media is wrongly clarifying what the pilot was said. That relay is given many times a day - according to someone in ATC - and it's not a warning at all. It's merely being said to let them show they're not on radar, so they can't give you any additional information since they do not show up on radar. They are not telling the pilot he is flying too low; they are telling him he's too low to report/show up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 If I'm reading that radar right, they were waiting to go then maybe lost control? Was hoping they didn't see it coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep thinking about the terror they were feeling, but hopefully the fog created no depth perception & they never even saw the mountain and it was instant.
