Family of four, two close friends and nanny also died in crash as pilot identified as 55-year-old Jeff Gregory
Nathalia Filgueiras, 20, was co-pilot of the private Learjet 60 en route from Austin-Bergstrom international airport in Texas to North Eleuthera airport in the Bahamas on Sunday when it suddenly plummeted out of the sky, killing all onboard, her mother told the New York Times.
Later on Monday, the family of the passengers who died posted a statement on Facebook identifying the victims and paying tribute to them.
It named them as Adam Robinson, 45, a Texas-based technology entrepreneur; his wife Helen Sharp, 40; and their children, Emma, four, and Charlie, two. The statement said close family friends Rachael Reed and Charmi Fehr were also killed, along with Anita Maria Cetina, the children’s nanny.
The pilot in charge of the Learjet was identified by TMZ and other media outlets on Monday as Jeff Gregory, 55, an experienced aviator from Pennsylvania.
The guy who chartered the flight ran this company - https://retention.com/
After reading more about his companies, RB2B and retention.com, I have to say he was a filthy scummy fuck who ran businesses that regularly exploited legal grey areas, consumer rights, and outright violate the law in many cases and jurisdictions.
I feel sorry for the fight crew, Nanny, and kids. Otherwise I only wish he would have had every executive of his scam corps in that jet with him.
Not really sure how that’s relevant to my comment, it’s still bad for planes to be falling out of the sky and killing multiple children + workers, no matter who chartered the flight.
Private jets that crash a lot kill rich assholes.
So maybe instead of banning them we lower regulations and mandate people over a certain net worth must travel by private jet.
And also they get exclusive first access to any new submersibles.
A 2 year old and a 4 year old died in terror, no amount of billionaires would be worth it.
You must be this tall to board the private jet:

Israel and Russia have murdered hundreds of thousands of kids over the past due years, if not millions. Most of them died in equal amounts of terror, if not more, and we didn’t even get one billionaire as collateral
Well, not yet. There’s still a lot of future.

Yeah I’m fine with drawing the line at child sacrifice, actually.
Bootlicker.

There was a scene in a show whose title I can’t recall where a man was in a bus depot talking to a young mother with her child sleeping in her lap.
She said they were taking the bus because it was a lower carbon option.
The psychopath pointed out that the best thing she could do for the climate would be to kill her child.
A child growing up in the West, let alone a privileged one, is the single longest and biggest source of carbon emissions we know of.
Edit: The show is called Utopia. The original British version.
Fuck I forgot about that scene. Here it is:

That show was incredible
Thanks for that. It’s even better than I remembered. Fucking awesome show.

Lol. I got moderated for that tame-ass response. Oh the civility!
Well, that and also hand out rocket launchers to randomly-selected citizens.
Ethical, environmental, and ground safety (these jets have to fall somewhere, after all) aside, this removes the whole hubris aspect of these crashes and implosions.
At which point you might as well use guillotines.
So you’re saying palantir is edging out the competition?
Score
wonder why the AI had him killed.
