| 2023-10-25 |
| Well...it is a Hobby airport. [FoxNews] A private plane departed without permission in Texas on Tuesday, colliding with another private aircraft as both were moving on an airfield at William P. Hobby Airport in Houston. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) confirmed to Fox News Digital that the incident happened at 4 p.m. local time Tuesday. Officials said that a twin-engine Hawker aircraft departed without permission from Runway 22 at the airport, when it collided with a twin-engine Cessna C510 that was landing on Runway 13 Right. The Cessna C510 taxied to the ramp area following the collision, the FAA said. No injuries were reported on either aircraft, the FAA said. |

| #4 Hobby Airport, while serving as a large commercial hub, has an enormous amount of light charter / bizjet traffic. Some big money mucky-muck told his driver "leave now" and fly boy didn't wait to get permission to use the runway, and somebody else was still using it. (That's the short version.) |

| #3 The black swan theory of events is a metaphor that describes an event that comes as a surprise, has a major effect, and is often inappropriately rationalized after the fact with the benefit of hindsight. |
