It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Looking into it
Died suddenly
Concering
The maimstream media seems oddly quiet about whether or not she was vaxxed.
Did they get her semen in time??
It takes a lot of {gall|girl balls} to collect semen from a woman

Oh no she’s wearing AirPods!
This seems to be exactly what happened:
It added that someone began walking towards Cosme, “shouting and waving his arms in an attempt to get [her] attention”.
“Others began shouting and waving to get [Cosme’s] attention as well,” the report said. It added: “Without looking up to determine her position relative to the aircraft, [Cosme] proceeded to walk directly into the propeller … sustaining fatal injuries.”
Literally a scene out of a cartoon lol
Tragedy is when I spil my jice. Comedy is when I casually walk directly into a propeller and sustain fatal injuries.

Another victim. By design.

"hmm, today I will walk onto an active airstrip while looking at a testing device with ear protection on"
Skill issue smh
I simply wouldn't be working on aerial death machines, but maybe that's just me.
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

Oh no the drones have evolved from being pursuit predators to ambush predators
most competent contractor
Very critical support for comrade Predator Drone.
“She was known for her passion for... ... aviation and all things strange and unusual,”
the coroner probalbly thought so
she approached everything she did with dedication and enthusiasm, leaving a lasting impact on those she encountered.”
probably took some time to wash out

people need to get off they phone
She died like a that one GTA V character who got juiced in a plane turbine.
Life imitates art.
Nice to hear that a drone killed someone evil for once
Indiana Jones had to kick a nazi into a propeller
Wearing noise cancelling headphones on public is the stupidest thing you can do lmao, but be my guests military contractors.

I once walked into a road sign because I was looking down at my phone. Embarrassing
