Han has also cancelled his campaign for today and tmr.
The funny part is, nobody has stopped working on the campaign. The candidates are publicly giving their respects.
The campaigns are still running full-steam and people are still working behind the scenes. They maybe even working harder while they have this break to get more focused and strategize.
How are you watching Fox news? Itâs been taken off cable. Channel 558 is gone
Heâs in the U.S.

If she sticks as much as a toe outside, they -meaning the press, her enemies, etc- will tear her to pieces, all starting with «how can you be so disrespectful?». Most of all, took her a huge effort to get on the Armed forces good side, and finally, this was a major loss of a big ally.

A day of mourning should be sufficient. Any criticism of her for that just comes off as a partisan attack.
Seems the ones that died were sitting in the front. There are but scraps left of the helicopter. The bodies have been transferred to the mortuary, accompanied by their families.
Sigh.
Do black hawk helicopters have bad safety record? Seems they crashed a bunch of them.
They have a bunch of them. It is like crashing a Toyota.
Ummmm. The front is for the drivers. Behind them are two rows of seats 4ish across facing opposite directions total of 8 if flying safe with belts which they probably obviously will do with seniors inside.
Unless someone else said just make it happen the way we want it to happen.
Two pilots - dead
Front row for VIPs: dead
Next to the door VIPs: dead
Another row: right side, dead, left, one alive
Last row: survivors
As per TV news
And as said It looks like they put the helicopter through a shredder.
I read somewhere helicopters doesnât really like mountain terrains that well. Something about weird turbulence that tends to make it lose control and crash. Like if you are hovering too long it causes helicopters to crash, and if you are hovering youâre supposed to move the helicopter side to side ever so slightly to prevent dangerous conditions.

The really sad part. The opposition will come out and talk about the bad current Administration and then will turn into a terrible war of political words about a situation where people have lost loved ones.
So far Tsai has a pretty good job managing such situations. I suspect she will do the same in this situation. She will show compassion and not attack but the opposition will attack and make themselves look bad.
They were making that a discussion point at at least two talk shows. That this tragedy should not be used for political ends. They also pointed out that both Tsai and Hanâs statements about the accident are measured and according to the gravitas of the situation.
Chen Shui-bien has already started saying Hanâs words were not appropriate. Seems Han will take 2 days off and his fellows will not stop. PTT is ablaze with rumors⊠SighâŠ
I wonder if itâs true. I also heard the black hawks donât do well in this humidity. Lots of mechanical issues.
Fucking crazy news shows just talkin talkin talkin bullshit. Why donât they show respect for the dead people and their families.
Terrible disgusting people that can stand up on TV in public and do anything other than show condolences and care and respect.
When someone asks about courtesies of Taiwan, ask them to watch TV then you realize courtesy can become worthless in Taiwan.
