Why This Score

This is a routine aviation safety report with no identifiable governance mechanism, institutional impact, or policy consequence—it reflects an operational incident, not an exercise of power or an intentional distraction tactic. Both constitutional harm and strategic hype scores are minimal, and it meets noise-gate criteria as a low-substance spectacle item with no downstream institutional lever.
