Can't believe I'm only finding about this now

Is this the second American killed by an American drone?
You're viewing a single thread.
In case anyone is worried about whether it's shitty to celebrate this person's death, you can look at their linkedin profile and see that she's spent the last 8 years working on weapons, and bragging about how she has secret clearance. These are the little eichmans who tirelessly work to improve the efficiency of our imperial death machine, and there's a real possibly that her work improved the productivity of the military industrial complex enough to kill one or two extra people.
Her work didn't seem to do much for workplace health and safety standards though.
Her death might
Also jesus christ, I actually looked at the report the article links to that was filled out about this, it is 47 pages, and officially reports her being 'disoriented' though there is no indication she was actually disoriented in any capacity; she didn't communicate with the crew chief that she was allegedly told to talk to prior to doing her testing, and then she just proceeded to not pay attention during testing and wandered into the damn thing's propeller
They also apparently didn't brief everyone on a 'kill testing' phrase, so another strike against workplace safety lmao
On the GCS audio recordings during the pre-start checklist [shortly before the incident], MTD (test director) and MP (pilot) could be heard moving rapidly through the checklist (Tabs N-8 to N-9). In addition, conversation in the GCS included comments like, “C’mon guys, the quicker you respond the faster we get out of here"
lmao, every Air Force bozo prolly got a safety briefing because of this
Me when I build my entire military industrial machine around cutting corners and then confidently put my foot in the part of the room where two walls meet
