Covid deaths in the US are the equivalent of four 747 passenger jets crashing everyday. You can blame the pilots, but the overall responsibility lies with the Air Traffic Controller, the one who keeps attacking reporters for asking "Why are more planes falling from the sky?"
Reporter: "When planes started dropping from the sky in China, why didn't you look at the maintenance records of our own aircraft?"

Air Traffic Controller: "That's a horrible question. You're never gonna make it. That's why you're FAKE NEWS."
Reporter: "The previous Air Traffic Controller left a manual explaining how to deal with an emergency like this. Why didn't you read it?"

Air Traffic Controller: "Why can't you just tell me what a great job I'm doing? You should be thanking me. Now, here's my son-in-law..."
Reporter: "What about just jumping out of the plane?"

Air Traffic Controller: "Why not? I've heard good things."

Chief Engineer: "There's NO data that indicates jumping from an aircraft at 38,000 feet is a good idea..."

Air Traffic Controller: What do you have to lose?
