Karoline Leavitt gives fact-check after Sen. Schumer blames Trump for upside-down Delta plane crash in Toronto
Story by Gabriel Hays • 11h

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt ripped Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., for blaming President Donald Trump for the Delta airliner that crash-landed upside-down in Toronto.

During an interview on "America Reports" on Tuesday, she blasted the lawmaker for saying that Trump’s recent cuts to the Federal Aviation Administration’s workforce contributed to the accident. 
 
"It’s incredibly irresponsible for Chuck Schumer to say such a thing when the investigation is still underway," Leavitt said.
 
A Delta Air Lines plane that departed from Minneapolis-Saint Paul Airport on Monday crashed upon landing at Toronto Pearson International Airport. Video of the incident showed the plane touching down and rolling over onto its top side amid an eruption of flames.

Footage of the crash’s aftermath showed the plane upside-down as passengers scrambled out of the passenger doors. All 80 passengers survived the crash, although 18 were injured, three of whom suffered critical injuries.

By means of shrewd lies, unremittingly repeated, it is possible to make people believe that heaven is hell - and hell heaven. The greater the lie, the more readily it will be believed.

The receptivity of the masses is very limited, their intelligence is small, but their power of forgetting is enormous. In consequence of these facts, all effective propaganda must be limited to a very few points and must harp on these in slogans until the last member of the public understands what you want him to understand by your slogan.

Is Chuckie such a dumbass he doesn't realize that Toronto isn't part of the US? :shrug: At least he doesn't seem to realize landing a plane with a gusty crosswind can be very difficult.  I know because I've made them.  Get the wing into the wind too high and problems might occur.

I just saw a good video of the landing and I have to wonder if the right main landing gear collapsed causing the plane to dip severely to the right and hit the ground with the wing.  Collapsing landing gear were not rare on an aircraft carrier.  Anyone who has seen carrier landings knows they are little more than controlled crashes into the flight deck.

Well if the landing gear didn't deploy, it was perhaps better the ground was covered in snow because it reduced friction and may in the long run (IMHO) of saved lives.
