You can't say some deity isn't trying, they just keep missing with that wand of smite.

Gross incompetence from Marine One

No response from tower and he just takes off anyway? I realize they don't technically have to follow FAA regs, but those regs exist for a reason. Each and every one of them are written in blood

Should have gotten affirmative clearance from tower
