    • 602155-c3b72886fff0575fc39adfa548690982.mp4  Suicide by jet. On July 8, 2025, around 10:30 a.m. local time, Andrea Russo, a 35-year-old man from Calcinate near Bergamo, died after reportedly throwing himself into the left engine of a Volotea Airbus A319 (flight V73511) preparing for takeoff to Asturias, Spain, at Milan Bergamo Airport (BGY).Russo, who was neither a passenger nor an airport employee, arrived in a red Fiat 500, abandoned his car, bypassed security through an emergency door in the baggage area, broke free from two border police officers pursuing him, and ran onto the tarmac toward the aircraft.Passengers on the plane heard a loud bang; crew instructed them not to look out the windows due to the graphic scene, and all 154 passengers and six crew were evacuated safely, with psychological support provided.Local reports indicate Russo had a history of drug problems and was fleeing police at the time; the incident is being investigated as a suspected suicide, with an autopsy pending.  
    • I don't really have an opinion on Tim Kennedy because I don't really follow him or know the story.  I didn't even know who he was until recently.  I'm just truly skeptical when stories suddenly come out of the woodwork about people like this.  He's become a political figure, and when you do that, hate will follow as your opposition tries their level best to discredit you.    When it comes to military haters, the hate really flares up if your service is used to propel that gain, especially if it puts you in the spotlight.  Then all the dick measurers come out to compare number,  suck factor and duration of deployments, as if they charge the machine gun nests at Utah beach.     Of course many have no problem using their service to get them a high paying civilian job, often one where they continue to suck off the government tit while collecting a pension and VA...100% of course because their sleep apnea and plantar fasciitis flared up at year 19. You must do all this quietly without any fanfare.    I've never bought into the idea that the government gets to exploit you for all your worth, but you must not exploit your service to get ahead in the civilian world.  Based on their actions, many who tout this don't really believe it either.      As far as claiming medals, ya that ain't cool.  I truly despise our medal system as it's become more of a check box or a system to help propel the shiny pennies.  The ribbon rack on my blues collecting dust in the closet is still the ribbon rack from when I was a SSgt. 
    • That video has Little Rock painted all over it.  From the guy on the bike to the reckless endangerment and emotive and aggressive unprofessionalism of the cop.   But hey, the biker started it, so what's a little more reckless endangerment matter if it works, right?
