  • Tim argues airline workers should answer for their failures on 9/11, claiming they signed up for the job and responsibility for deaths.
  • Media outlets reported there were no VIPs on the Kobe Bryant helicopter, which Tim finds callous timing while families were learning loved ones died.
  • Former Blackhawk pilot Bradley Bowman explained the crew was conducting routine training flights, not a VIP mission with important passengers aboard.
