long answer: we won't know why until the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) does its investigation.
but from what information is known is that the pilots (the plane was being operated by 21 air, amazon does not have pilots) were coming in too fast and unstable, and ended up touching down halfway down the runway. it appeared that the left main gear was still not on the ground at at least â…” down the runway, which might have not allowed the reverse thrusters out.
it could potentially be due to winds from an incoming thunderstorm, if you look at the footage there are some dark clouds in the background. it looks to me that crew tried to stick the landing from a fast and low approach, instead of powering up and going around. but that's just with the information i have and again, we won't know until the NTSB releases their preliminary report
this has nothing to do with whatever "regulations" you're talking about. 5 people are dead. it just happened to be an amazon painted plane, which isn't even owned or flown by amazon btw.
eerie how close this was published to her passing. and i could've sworn the title was something like "Was Dolly really that great?" before and was changed after news of her death.
i have an associates in programming and a bachelor's in cybersecurity, but i have forgotten most of it. i'm just a dumbass who likes computers now. all i know about this hobby is from the internet
about 6 months minimum before they're allowed to talk to real planes, a year and a half minimum after that before they are out on their own. the academy will get rid of a lot of people who truly are not cut out for this type of work, and facility training will get rid of more. tbh i'm not super worried because the job is do it by the book or find another job. if they don't do it right, they won't be talking to real traffic for very long if at all
so i have a little bit of insight into this whole thing. i got a few friends who are controllers and i've been in the hiring process myself for nearly 2 years. to save you the history of the hiring process of the last few years: long. duffy "supercharged" the hiring process last year, making it take a lot less time than it used to (months instead of years).
anyway, we don't actually know if 2000 "gamers" got hired from this latest bid, they're just saying that because they were catering to gamers with the advertisement (which was majority genAI content lmao). if you applied to the bid, you're automatically a gamer.
now a few things on what this means for us and the safety of aviation. the minimum requirements are as follows: do you have a pulse? can you obtain a security clearance? do you not have any medical problems that will make you unfit to do the job? have you not taken any federally illegal drugs in the last few years? can you do a few basic math problems? if you can answer yes to all of these questions, you get hired. that's what the 2000 number is.
when you get hired by the FAA, those 2000 people don't immediately get to go control traffic at the busiest airport. all ATC candidates must go to the FAA's training academy in OKC for 3-4 months to learn how to control traffic. it's designed to train someone who doesn't even know what a plane is to the basics of controlling traffic, phraseology and proper procedures and all. not everyone makes it through the academy and is a large percent of the attrition rate for applicants.
only after all that do they go to a real facility, but not like LAX. and then they learn some more before touching live traffic.
so overall, i'm not super worried about it. only the people who are actually capable will get though and even then, it will be well over a year before they are controlling on their own if they don't fail training at their facility

short answer: plane was going too fast to stop.

yep. different websites have different identifiers but are functionally the same

for the original trilogy excluding the credits. if you included the hobbit (8 hours) that would be an additional 1663 hours or 69.3 days
the LOTR extended editions are 666 minutes in total (roughly 11 hours). 200 marathons would be 2220 hours or 92.5 full days of playtime
perchance they were referring to the Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-15
