She would have been responsible for communications with air traffic control, mapping/monitoring instrumentation, among other things.

At the end of the day, though, sometimes shit just happens.

Trump was elected by the electoral college process, that's the process used here to elect presidents.

The electoral college is used here to decide on a president. Hitler was appointed by Hindenburg an entirely legal and constitutional process.

Trump tried to steal the 2020 election by inserting fake electoral college votes too.

“Hitler was elected”: Myth or fact?

Sometimes, in discussions of fascism, we hear the idea that “Hitler was elected.” In other words, it’s the people’s fault. They chose Hitler. They chose fascism. They were anti-Semites who cared more about persecuting Jews than about protecting their own freedom.

Your idiotic statement:



Is false, Trump does what he wants, nobody yet knows what insane decisions await us. Nobody gave Trump a mandate to do all the things he is and will do, like firing people illegally and so on which has already started.

He also won the POPULAR vote. So, you lost twice.

It reality and perhaps hurtful when we die we don’t need a couple days and scrub our social media before identified

No kidding.

Your link, which you did not read, says,
"Lobach also served as a White House social aide during the Biden administration. Last month, she escorted Ralph Lauren through the White House when he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, according to CBS."

There can be many reasons for tragedies. One may be that there are people above the law and fast tracked for whatever they do within a decaying system. Many agencies are self-contained. They take care of their own and push those they let enter them. This woman was privileged. Now we go into something else to find the truth of the accident. The system itself though may have been laxed on one or both entities involved.

I don't know anything about her, and I don't blame her. For all I know, she was a great warrior and served our country and lived her life with honor.

It is interesting that her name was withheld due, presumably, to her past association with Biden. And scrubbing her social media is rather suspicious, but I'm not jumping to any conclusions.

The crash came just days after President Donald Trump signed an order rescinding an FAA initiative begun during the Obama years that prioritized hiring those with "targeted disabilities," including "severe physical disabilities, psychiatric disabilities, and intellectual disabilities." Everyone who wants their lives to depend on such disabled people please shout it out.

Someone needs to create a meme like the one below, where a Lefty on a commercial jet is crying, "I just hope our pilot and air traffic controller are both physically, psychiatrically and intellectually disabled!"

How many lies are they going to tell about this poor woman.

Or you guys are so desperate to validate Trump's fucked up comments about DEI you are willing to slander a woman who served her country... unlike Trump who got deferments for Bone Spurs.

 

[JoeB131]

Oh, here's some more about Captain Lobach, the "DEI" pilot that the wingnuts want to slander.

Female Pilot in Crash Trump Blames on DEI Was Top 20% Cadet

Capt. Rebecca M. Lobach died when the Black Hawk helicopter she was co-piloting collided with an American Airlines jet.

www.thedailybeast.com

The brilliant Army career of the female helicopter pilot killed in the Washington D.C. plane crash—which Donald Trump blamed on “DEI”—has been revealed.

She had been in the top 20 per cent of Army ROTC cadets nationwide and picked for a prestigious role as a White House social aide. Her awards include the Army Commendation Medal, Army Achievement Medal, National Defense Service Medal and Army Service Ribbon.

Her distinguished career was at apparent odds with President Donald Trump suggesting that DEI hiring practices could have been to blame for the mid-air collision. He was backed up by his Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who had railed against “women in combat roles” before a sudden conversion to praising their service ahead of his Senate confirmation hearing.

“She achieved the rank of Captain, having twice served as a Platoon Leader and as a Company Executive Officer… With more than 450 hours of flight time, she earned certification as a pilot-in-command after extensive testing by the most senior and experienced pilots in her battalion.”

Fact check: Biden, like Trump, received multiple draft deferments from Vietnam

Posts online truthfully claim that Joe Biden received five draft deferments from the Vietnam War. He also received a medical exemption for asthma.

It's true.

You forgot to mention working for two years in the Biden administration, as an aide.

Also did duty as a lifeguard and let young black kids feel his hairy legs, no idea how far up they felt.

It's true.

Biden was already too old to be drafted by the time Vietnam rolled around.

Biden was born in 1942. Which means he was first eligible for the draft in 1960. Not that they were drafting a whole lot of people back then. Certainly not athmatics who couldn't do the PT.


Trump, on the other hand, was born in 1946. His first eligibility for the draft was 1964. But then his private paid for doctor told the draft board he had bone spurs.

 

[ChemEngineer]

I made the meme
This nag was escorted off the aircraft by police for berating a
Trump supporter, as the passengers cheered and clapped.

 

[Delldude]

Why did he pursue five deferments if he was too old to serve?

Biden received the deferments as a student, not for asthma.

Certainly not athmatics who couldn't do the PT.

He was classified 1-Y after college, still eligible to serve.

Not that they were drafting a whole lot of people back then.

That's a crock of BULLSHIT, MAN.

First mistake: ATC supervisor let one of his employees leave early, making the tower short-handed.

Second mistake: She was flying a training mission, and should have known the correct altitude. She was not flying it.

Third mistake: The ATC asked "Do you see the airplane?" instead of "Do you see the airplane at your 10 o'clock?" She mistook the airplane ahead of American Airlines as the one ATC was referencing. Bad communication by ATC, deadly.

Final mistake: Neither she nor her trainer in the right seat noticed American Airlines jet, lights blazing, on final approach in standard flight pattern. All other mistakes aside, had either of the Blackhawk pilots been properly alert, no disaster.

I made a series of mistakes as solo pilot, but ultimately made corrections and that's why I am alive today.

When we fly we are ALWAYS making mistakes. It's how we deal with them that matters.

Pilot training is not about getting from A to B, that part is easy, it is about what procedures do we take if "X" happens. You're taking off, and your one engine suddenly stops...what do you do?

You're flying along at 15,000 and you see a storm ahead along your flight path, what do you do?

You're coming in for a landing, you're on final approach, and your radio goes tit's up. What do you do?

All of these are training problems that even experienced pilots are trained on every year.
