Jimmy Describes His HARROWING Near Mid-Air Collision On Southwest Airlines!

from The Jimmy Dore Show · host Wase History Club

Jimmy and Stef recount a terrifying flight experience on a Southwest Airlines trip from Burbank to Las Vegas, where the plane made a sudden drop due to a near mid-air collision with a vintage military aircraft.  Passengers experienced several seconds of weightlessness, with some hitting their heads and two flight attendants injured, as the pilot took evasive action following a collision avoidance system alert. Jimmy expressed frustration that the airline never contacted passengers afterward. He also described lingering effects, including a sense of trauma and unease during a simulated motion experience at the Las Vegas Sphere. Plus segments on the new efforts in Congress to censor pro-Palestinian content online and Stephen Colbert’s surprising flip-flop on Big Pharma. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae. And a phone call from JD Vance!
