Friends of the young flight instructor who died in a plane crash in Virginia Thursday said her lifelong dream was to become a commercial pilot and called her a legend for working toward it. Viktoria Theresie Izabelle Ljungman, 23, died in the crash when an 18-year-old student pilot she was instructing pulled the small plane up at too steep an angle at takeoff — which caused the engine to stall and the aircraft to plummet from about 100 feet. “I remember when I first met her, that’s all she ever wanted to do. She wanted to be a commercial pilot,” Charlie Hudson, who played tennis with Ljungman at Hampton University, told the Daily Press.

The single-engine Cessna 172, carrying Ljungman, the student pilot Oluwagbohunmi Ayomide Oyebode and another unidentified 18-year-old student, crashed around 3 p.m. in a ditch at Newport News-Williamsburg Airport.

The worst part is companies importing H-1B visa people with the intent to give them expensive training instead of someone who was born in the country and treat the visa like an indentured survitude agreement.

Then the companies get politicians to claim that there just aren't enough educated Americans to fill the positions and that colleges need more subsidies so that more Americans can receive the training they need to work the jobs.

The jobs the companies don't want to hire the Americans for because they can't hold firing them and deportation over the American employees heads.

So they wind up with American kids wasting years of their lives and getting saddled with debt going to colleges to compete with foreigners who are imported and paid to learn the skills on the job by the company.

And then the politicians turn around and gaslight the American people.

I guarantee you there was a financial motive for them to fudge the study.

In another interview/discussion (Eric was the interviewer) he explicitly states the "fudged" numbers in the study were chosen to guarantee a result. Financial/state action as China benefits substantially.
