Plane crashed due to losing altitude although it seemed under control (not stalled) RAT deployed which happens either 1) manually or 2) There's loss of power (below idle basically) from both engines Everything else is people making up far fetched stories. Vapor lock for example makes zero sense. The fuel when pumped into the plane is actually 'cool'. Even though the outside temps were 40-43 celsius, how long would it take for many thousands of gallons of cool fuel in tanks to heat up through surface conduction? Very likely, a very long time. It's not like the fuel was being boiled or had a heat exchange mechanism with the ambient air.

Since congress has shown to be ineffective at controlling spending don't you think something had to be done? Granted , it seems overdone but that's an actual management technique when things are so out of control that you cannot make focused changes, rip up and start from scratch. Only what's needed for real will be left.

Not everyone thinks that diminishing the federal government role in every aspect of our lives is bad. What's missing in the portrayal of what's going on is that the USA has State governments that closely resemble actual countries. The Federal government's role was supposed to be limited to very few functions. I think Trump may be reverting us back to that.
