FAA Under Siege - Do Trump and Musk Bear Some Responsibility For DC Plane Collision With US Army Helicopter​

Looks like it may just be the case

 

[Sherlock Holmes]

What question did you ask? I didn't see one.

Another dingbat

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?

/——/ 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.

Trump just said that when he came in in 2016, he was appalled by the low-level competence of the ATC. He said he changed that, prioritizing merit and intelligence, but when Biden came back in, he changed it back to a lower standard so more “diveristy” people could get in.

And I'll clear the myth that the helicopter pilot did not respond. There were two different channels being used. Confusing.

 

[pknopp]

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

It seems the copter pilot didn't for whatever reason.

 

[Hollie]

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

Oh dear. You're doing your usual petulant child thing.

Go be disgusting somewhere else.

 

[Dante]

Of course not. What was the cause of the collision? Now if it was a DEI pilot who should have been dismissed, you might have a point that the unqualified weren't sacked fast enough.

With no evidence, Trump blames DEI for DC air collision

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

Right out of the gate

Trump/MAGA are shifting blame

 

[whitehall]

Biden is not president. Trump is. He has pronounced the World Changed on his Day 1

The helicopter pilots didn't complete flight school in the last week. Maybe they were learning more about diversity than flying in Biden's military.

 

[Seymour Flops]

Will there even be a human pilot??

It flew straight at the plane like it was on a kamikaze mission

Sounds like it could have been on autopilot, so you may be right.

Maybe it malfunctioned or maybe the pilot was incapacitated or distracted.

 

[westwall]

People doubt all kinds of things that turn out to be very very true.

With the MAGA responses here I smell a battle to turn away from ugly truths of the consequences of Trump's actions.

Correct. All through Trump's first term you fools were proven wrong over and over and over again.

That's why the MSM is dying.

 

[Lisa558]

How stupid are you, here:

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?

And I answered by saying it is more important to protect LIVES.

AND…..it is not a matter of equally good candidates getting sidelined becuase of prejudice. It is WHITE people who are better candidates (and they are in 70% of the cases) being sidelined because libtards prioritize skin color over merit.

Now here’s my question:

How do we protect lives when liberals demand we lower standards for non-whites and thus, in the majority of cases, we do not have the best and brightest in the most life-critical roles?

 

[WEATHER53]

Especially since air traffic control said "go behind the plane".

How far apart were they supposed to be at that point?

 

[tyroneweaver]

my my after 9 years of bullshit investigations of trump RW is suddenly concerned about evidence.
Hilarious

Me and wife watched the young skater from Haymarket perform and I got a bad feeling she’s on that flight

[rightwinger]

Watching live….
Each speaker is jumping in to condemn DEI for the collision

Trump just said…..”It could have been the reason” “We don’t know.”

What is their response going to be if it turns out the pilots and Air Traffic controllers were white males?

 

[TNHarley]

No Leadership at the FAA thanks to Donald Trump and Elon Musk. We all know this leads to poor morale and affects work efficiency. I'd say it affects safety in a government run organization like the FAA. Then there is the issue of morale and the confusion within the military after Trump issued some bizarre executive orders targeting most all of our government. Trump also brought in un-elected private sector weirdos like Elon Musk (guy is weird - no one can deny it - just watch him speak and move around as if on something).

Evidence:

Michael Whitaker, the head of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), resigned on January 20, 2025, amid significant pressure from Elon Musk, who publicly called for his resignation. ​

​

Whitaker’s departure marks a pivotal moment for the FAA, which is now left without a Senate-confirmed leader during a critical period for the agency.​

​

Elon Musk 'pressured' FAA boss to quit one week before Potomac river plane crash​

During the press conference the Transportation Secretary and DC Fire Chief refused to answer the question​

Looking for blame like people were doing with the LA Fires. Well, thank you for allowing me an opportunity to start some blame game off, right here @ usmb.

You are no better than trump automatically blaming DEI.
You two have so much in common.

 

[Delldude]

In controlled airspace it is usually ATC error.

They're few and far between. Pilot error accounts for about 70% of all crashes, most at takeoff or approach.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

The President must be a shit for brains.

People are grieving, so the President makes it political.

What an ass.

News report on Fox (unconfirmed) that SOME survivors have been pulled from the river.

Nope, nobody survived that.
