Chapter 1: What are the details of the D.C. plane crash?

679.69 - 705.068 Tim Dillon

The duties of handling air traffic control for helicopters and those for planes at Reagan National Airport on Wednesday night were combined before the deadly crash between an Army Blackhawk helicopter and an American Airlines regional jet, according to a person briefed. Make that a little bigger if you could. The left, that left one air traffic controller handling dual roles, okay?

706.329 - 730.692 Tim Dillon

Dual roles, okay? According to the person briefed, who was not authorized to speak publicly about the investigation into the crash. So someone left early. And I hope it weighs on their conscience. I hope that person who left early, it weighs on their conscience. Because I would have been that person. But it wouldn't have weighed on my conscience because I'm a strong person.

731.738 - 753.029 Tim Dillon

And if you're going to leave jobs early and perform in a way that endangers other people, as I have my entire life, you have to live with it. I was a terrible lifeguard. We missed saves. They were all fine. The parents jumped in and got them. The point is this. I, because of my negligence in my jobs, have endangered many people.

753.965 - 772.99 Tim Dillon

And the worst has never happened, but if it did happen because I'm a strong person, I would have been able to handle it. I would have been able, I left early. I left early, I wasn't even there. I literally would be saying to people, I was not even there. I was not even there when that happened. Had I been there, it would have been okay. I'm a strong person. This person probably isn't.

773.33 - 792.087 Tim Dillon

It's weighing on their fucking conscience. It's weighing on their conscience that they left early. It's a whole thing now. Their whole life's been completely changed. I would have been fine with it. I would have said, yeah, I left early because I wanted to watch YouTube videos on my couch and everyone died. But shit happens.

792.988 - 818.346 Tim Dillon

But this person's probably crying at some fucking work, some fucking therapist that their job pays for. Own your decisions and own your life. It's terrible what happened, but you left early because you're a bum. And own that. Typically, the tasks of handling helicopter traffic and managing the planes are divided from 10 a.m. to 9.30 p.m. at the airport, according to the preliminary report.

818.386 - 840.91 Tim Dillon

After 9.30, the duties are normally combined with traffic lessons. But an air traffic control supervisor combined those duties sometime before 9.30 p.m. and allowed one air traffic controller to leave early. So this is the supervisor's fault because they're trying to curry favor with some other supervisor they're probably having sex with. I have no proof of this is my guess.

841.73 - 870.494 Tim Dillon

Or they want to have sex with. The staffing configuration was not normal for the time of day and volume of traffic. So a supervisor said, hey, it looks a little light. Why don't you get out of here? Whatever that person's name was. Maybe their last name was Thomas. Why don't you get out of here, Thomas? You sure? Yeah, we got it handled, Thomas. Their last name's Thomas. Get out of here.

871.415 - 901.977 Tim Dillon

Go home and watch The Good Place. What's that? It was a sitcom from many years ago. Co-created by the creator of Hacks. What's Hacks? Thomas, will you get out of here? We got it handled. What do you think is going to happen? A plane's going to plunge into the Potomac? Get out of here and go watch The Good Place on Hulu. And enjoy your night. Order some Thai food. We'll just be here killing people.

Chapter 2: Why does Tim Dillon believe flying is dangerous?

3179.406 - 3199.966 Tim Dillon

He allegedly told her he wouldn't allow her in his vehicle because she was too big to fit in the back seat, and his tires were not capable of supporting the plaintiff's weight. If you drive an Uber or a Lyft right now, you have to have a car that will support 500-pound people. You just have to. I'm sorry. If Dave Blunt cannot fit comfortably in your car, you cannot have it.

3201.927 - 3232.961 Tim Dillon

The filing alleges that John Doe told the rapper Tank the Boss that she was too big to fit in the back. She responded and told him that there was enough room to her to fit in the back seat and that she did not require a bigger car. Can you imagine this fight? Can you imagine this fight? The driver told her that he had problems in the past, adding that overweight individuals must order Lyft XLs.

3234.322 - 3257.421 Tim Dillon

They're larger vehicles that can fit up to six passengers and cost more than standard rides. That's probably true. If you're coming in at 500, you might have to order the XL. So she canceled the ride and left. Oh, no, he canceled the ride and left. And now she is accusing Lyft and this man of allegedly subjecting her to a hostile environment and disparate treatment.

3257.982 - 3284.607 Tim Dillon

And there was no candy in the car. Refusing some, I'm just letting you, because you're all laughing, I'm letting you catch up. Refusing someone's transportation based on their weight is not only illegal, but dangerous. I don't know how it's dangerous. Well, I guess if they're like, I don't know, if they really need to leave a place. Imagine the consequences if Ms.

Blanding were unable to seek shelter after the driver left her stranded. This could have ended even worse than it did. Interesting. She's suing for damages such as stress, humiliation, embarrassment, outrage, mental anguish, fear, and mortification, as well as emotional, economic, and non-economic damages. She is also asking for attorney fees and costs.

3310.503 - 3339.877 Tim Dillon

Lyft comes out and says, Lyft unequivocally condemns all forms of discrimination we believe in a community where everyone is treated with equal respect and mutual kindness. A spokesperson for the rideshare company said in his statement, he said, our community guidelines and terms of service explicitly prohibit harassment or discrimination. Well, we'll have to follow that case.

3339.917 - 3368.585 Tim Dillon

I don't know if it's going to... I believe they'll probably pay her out something. Can we... Let's hear this woman because it is... What does that guy got, a C-class Mercedes? I bet that's what it looks like. It looks like a C-class. She can't go in a C-class. Is that a C-class? That looks like it might be a C-class. She cannot go in a C. All right, let's watch this.

3370.39 - 3377.043 Unidentified Speaker (Brief Interjection)

6L car. I was embarrassed and I feel some type of way about it, you know.

3377.063 - 3377.704 Unidentified Speaker (Brief Interjection)
