Wake Turbulence and Climate Change Lies

An air traffic controller provides "boots on the ground" insight, explaining that the FAA has tightened aircraft spacing from five miles to three and a half miles. This change causes modern planes to encounter more "wake turbulence" from preceding engines, which the media then incorrectly attributes to climate change. The hosts also mock German climate activists who glued their hands to an airport runway.

Challenger 604 Wake Turbulence Incident

A Challenger 604 private jet was nearly destroyed after encountering wake turbulence from an Airbus A380 flying 1,000 feet above it near the Maldives. The smaller jet flipped several times and plummeted 10,000 feet before the pilots regained control. The aircraft was declared a total loss due to extreme G-forces, and several passengers were seriously injured.
