Breaking News. Plane crash in DC. Collided with either helicopter or drone over Potomac.

[Dante]

I doubt that this tragedy is at all related to the chaos going on in the White House.

Trump and Musk have been bragging that their chaos has been spread across all of the government affecting every single government agency and every single government employee.

and you say what?

 

[WEATHER53]

How could they not see it?!

So recently a boat directly into a bridge and a hele directly into a plane like a bullseye.

 

[RoshawnMarkwees]

Turns out this plane was small enough to be aiming for an auxiliary runway from an angle SE. That would put it in potential conflict with Bolling airspace.
This looks like a traffic control error.

 

[Hollie]

Yes, you are. Some things never change.

Oh, dear. Hurt feelings cause you to lash out.

 

[amethyst]

I wonder which bar Hegseth was in when this crash occurred.

Hegseth was updating on x all night long. The media simply chose not to report it.

The crash occurred because Congress agreed to more flights into DC despite opposing advice.

2. The air traffic controller did as he was taught to do. Congressmen have long been complaining about the near misses at the airport and lack of response to address that.
Trump now has an excuse to fire more.

I hope that all those people died on impact and didn’t end up alive, in the river, in their seats, in the dark, in the freezing water, and either drowned or froze.

They went quick, fortunately. That impact angle is non survivable.

So recently a boat directly into a bridge and a hele directly into a plane like a bullseye.

From all I've read recently, the plane flew into the helicopter. Still seems the helicopter pilots fault but they didn't actually fly into the plane.

Only trumpanzees define it that way.

How do you protect fellow citizens against prejudicial hiring practices where equally good candidates get sidelined because of prejudices against say skin color, country of origin, sex, disabilities and so on?

So let’s prioritize skin color over merit instead, and risk the lives of innocent Americans. The first priority is for the safety of Americans, and jobs that involve life-and-death decisions should always go to the best and brightest.

Well, small comfort to their loved ones, but at least they didn’t suffer.

No, COMPETENT people define DEI that way.

I asked a question, you have no answer.

What is it that you are always go on about? Go troll elsewhere you nasty little beatch

People are dead and you go on like this.

disgusting

Trump starts News conference with a moment of silence then quickly shifts to blaming Obama and Biden DEI standards

There is no evidence of who the air traffic controllers were or if they made any mistakes. Our President quickly uses it as an excuse to blame Democrats, Biden and DEI policies

Donald Trump blames Obama, Biden, DEI for DC Plane Crash

It was Trump's first press conference after a plane carrying 60 passengers and four crew members collided with an Army helicopter.

[Cellblock2429]

Very murky preliminary details.

It looks as though the helicopter or drone aimed for the plane?

60 on board plane. At least 3 bodies recovered.

Terrorism is a possibility.

/——/ FAA DEI hiring mentally disabled.

FAA’s diversity push includes focus on hiring people with ‘severe intellectual’ and ‘psychiatric’ disabilities

Fox News Digital has learned the Federal Aviation Administration is pushing a hiring initiative that emphasizes employing people with "missing extremities" and other disabilities.

I asked a question, you have no answer.

What question?

 

[westwall]

Jets develop more thrust quicker than a prop plane.


The reason that is done is for noise abatement over populated areas. All airports have those restrictions due to crybabies buying houses next to an airport.


How is that, being that all on duty were seasoned ATC's?


The RJ was descending on approach while the helo climbed into the RJ's flight path. I'd bet the helo thought they were clear.

The most common cause of aircraft crashes is pilot error.

In controlled airspace it is usually ATC error. The pilots simply follow orders in controlled airspace.
