The helicopter was in communication with the tower, they asked if they see the plane and the helicopter pilot said yes. Unfortunately, there was another plane taking off if you watch the crash video. That's the plane he sees not the one he collided with.

I think it's just a mistake, Murphys Law . "If anything can go wrong it will".
There is always that possibility that a crash can occur in air despite every technology available.

The incompetent idiots in the tower never gave a warning to the jet or the copter. They saw everything on the radar.

They were watching them on a collision course. They didn't warn the jet or the black hawk. They knew the altitude was about the same for both. I think Trump knows something. That's why he was calling the tower for their incompetence. He also dragged the army. Why are they training at night at a busy airport?

They are saying night vision can inhibit distance estimations , but a plane when landing is fully lit up like a mall.

A preliminary FAA report on the collision found that air traffic control tower staffing at Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) was "not normal" for the amount of air traffic and for the time of day, a source with knowledge of the situation told NBC News.

The tower typically has a controller that focuses specifically on helicopter traffic. But at the time of the crash last night, the source said, one controller at DCA was overseeing both airplane and helicopter activity.

So they were understaffed. What is your big revelation in this? That gutting safety committees whose jobs probably include making sure that staffing is up to code didn’t somehow lead to this?

I'm quoting an FAA initial report. I have not mentioned DEI or staffing, I think that situation happens all the time where one ATC is controlling plane and helicopter flights. There is the visual component of pilots especially near a busy airport which should have saved the day. It's just an accident that can happen.
Whether he fired the committee or the FAA head, the ATC works in real time ,every second counts. Your bosses have no say in your guiding the pilots on where ,when and how to land .

You don’t have to mention DEI. Your guy Trump did. That’s what we’re talking about.

You shoe won’t bend if you it for once that he’s put his foot in his mouth one too many times.

I don’t need you quoting FAA report to me. I can read it myself.

I don't necessarily agree with Trump on this one. There are many possibilities as to what led to the mid air crash.

You know, the accident was caused by those "DEI" hires who were too incompetent to do the jobs that we don't think are necessary and want to cut ASAP.

RFK Jr nomination hearing . He categorically told senators that they are recipients of millions from medical and food industry. Both republicans and Democrats on the committee are recipients.
Democrats as expected turned the hearing into a circus, mainly because they have to oppose and also because their gravy train is at risk from RFK Jr.

Senators like Governors also need time limits . Too much corruption , democrat and republiccans may be compromised.

Former senator Bob Menedez was jailed for 11 years this week for accepting bribes. His daughter Alicia Menedez,an anchor at MSNBC calls Trump a felon. GRRR. He is not the only one from both parties who has received bribes.
IC community must have something especially on democrats and RINOs.
The democrats are bitterly opposed to the other two nominees , Tulsi Gabbard and Kash Patel . The two know very well how corrupt democrats have committed crimes over the last 8 years. These nominations are no longer a question of vettng the best person for the job but of covering up crimes.And Trump needs to have everything exposed.

This is a warning of a taste of what is to come if these jokers go through with their doge nonsense.

And if trump goes through with his silly plan to exit federal workers

And the plan to kill agencies like fema

We saw it happen with covid.

Safety laws and rules are written in blood. Regulations exist for a reason.

But trump has gotten away with skirting regulations all his life, and he has been shouting deep state and convincing poorly educated Americans that loyalty to him is more important than actual competence

You think his dui secretary of state can handle a real emergency? You think the military will be up to task if they have antivaxxers and are deployed to lagos with mosquitoes?

This is reality. Not wrestling kayfabe, not all the silly reduction of politics to a sports slogan.

Not trolling and gloating about liberal tears

As we say in Nigeria - everybody go collect.

But since Americans want to live like a third world country where you celebrate the president if you have running water - have at it.

you said this about boeing
you have 4 years to sit in lockstep with trump blaming every disaster on DEI
it will be interesting watching

fortunately for you, you are not an american - so none of this will touch you
so it will be easy for you to parrot bs and inane talking points because you are unaffected by avoidable tragedies

nothing you as a nigerian, do not see everyday from plane crashes to tankers falling on roads to 600mw electricity


now you will have a front seat to see how these things come about in real time

I'm blaming pilot error not political correctness on this disaster.You don't bring DEI to ATC hiring by all means unless you have some loose nuts and bolts in your head. I have been severally in some cockpits and I'm regularly on small propeller aircraft , the ATC job is critical ,no mistake should be allowed

this means you must have busted a nut over this accident - because this is the reality of the 'crushing of the deep state'

you think you can replace decades of experience with a stroke of a pen?

https://edition.cnn.com/2025/01/30/politics/senior-fbi-leaders-demoted-wray/index.html

At least six senior FBI leaders have been ordered to retire, resign or be fired by Monday, according to sources briefed on the matter, extending a purge that began last week at the Justice Department across the street from the FBI headquarters.

The senior officials are at the executive assistant director level or special agent in charge level and include those who oversee cyber, national security and criminal investigations, the sources told CNN. Some were notified while Kash Patel, President Donald Trump’s pick to lead the agency, sat answering questions from senators for his confirmation hearing Thursday.

continue your purges of competent personnel for lapdogs with no institution experience , competence and whose only qualification is loyalty to the dear leader

this is the story playing out across government agencies

the new dawn and the golden age you have been celebrating - this is the reality

you have been shouting and cheering over liberal tears - you think those in the accident were liberals only? you think only liberals are crying now?

I'm a frequent flyer and that's why I'm looking at pilot error esp the helicopter. I also want qualified ATCs everywhere.

Politics. The swamp needs to go down. FBI should be dismantled and rebuilt afresh. If you backtrack a few days I had posted 60 plus names Kash Patel listed in his book of corrupt deep state actors over the past 8-10 years. Corrupt pieces of shit, including Joe Biden

@bold, they thought it was a game of soccer that their team won. Now it’s time to govern he’s back to blaming Obama. When he’s held office since after Obama left. Where’s his blame there?

The DOGE nonsense gave Elon power over departments that should have oversight or investigative power over his companies. How’s that not a brazen 3rd world move right there?

He basically bullied the FAA head to resign because they wanted him to pay $600k in fines. So Trump will just go to him, get instructions on what to do, come and unleash havoc on us and no one can do anything about it. Okay

Those policies by Obama and Biden need to be revoked . You think they should not?
I'm Loving this unbiased Chatbot.

During President Obama's istration, several measures were implemented regarding the hiring of Air Traffic Controllers. Here are the key points:

Shift from Merit-Based Hiring: The Obama istration directed the Federal Aviation istration (FAA) to move away from strictly merit-based hiring criteria. This change aimed to promote diversity within the workforce.
Affirmative Action Policies: The istration introduced affirmative action policies that encouraged the hiring of candidates from underrepresented groups, which sparked debates about the effectiveness and fairness of such measures.
Legal Challenges: These hiring practices faced scrutiny and legal challenges, including a class-action lawsuit that highlighted concerns over the qualifications of candidates being overlooked in favor of diversity initiatives.
These measures were part of a broader effort to enhance diversity in federal employment, but they also led to significant discussions about the balance between diversity and merit in critical roles like air traffic control.

I’m so sorry I really don’t mean to be harsh. I really don’t but this is a stupid take. What is your problem? Omg.

Are you 19 years old by chance ?

You want our 116 year old investigative institution to be dismantled and replaced by who? Trump loyalists?

You have to be crazy. Or 19 years. There’s no other explanation.

I should have known when your example of extreme Democrat policy was that black people can say the N word and others can’t.

What a waste of time.

that is what MAGAts call leadership

the buck stops anywhere but here - DEI , previous , deep state

i am the leader but i bear no responsibility for anything that happens on my watch

scratch that - anything good is due to my peerless leadership - anything bad is not my fault - it is always someone else's fault

for them leadership is ceremonial

imagine having a boss like this in real life

i have said before as a nigerian we know how all this goes. when the efcc was put together, it was run by nuhu ribadu who rejected a $15 million cash bribe from james ibori. he took the bribe and immediately turned it in as evidence. Ribadu was not perfect but he set the stage for what EFCC was supposed to be. James ibori was very good friends with Yardua, and during yarduas istration, ribadu was hounded out of efcc and replaced with a barely competent and corrupt farida waziri. Today EFCC is an incompetent organization that exists solely to shake down yahoo boys and engage in go nowhere media trials of politicians whose lawyers beat them up routinely in court

this is the story that will play out - with all the proposed secetaries whose only qualification is that they are on good with trump and know absolutely nothing about the roleand will therefore go with anything he says.

Rex Tillerson was his first secretary of state - a man who was ceo of exxon and who knew about the importance of process versus impulse - and who was so frustrated that called trump a fking slowpoke in private.

DEI is merit based. It ensures that employers are considering all qualified candidates regardless of their race, gender or disability status..

If they do not meet the employment requirements, they’re not considered. This stops Mr Jack from looking at your black name and tossing your file in the bin because he only wants to consider the qualified white candidates.

if they’re not made to consider every qualified person, they’ll only employ the white people. Centuries of slavery and colonialism should be enough pattern recognition to show you that they’ll never think you’re good enough unless the law forces them to look at your qualifications

You’ve been fed “DEI bad” and you ran with it thoughtlessly like a tree voting for the axe.

P.S chat box can summarize text from all sources online (including false information) and give it you in a summary. I hope you don’t use chat box to do your homework or studies.

This is merit based hiring?
When your plane is landing,in flight or taking off you don't care what race the ATC is.

Obama ATC Racial Bias
President Obama's istration made changes to the Federal Aviation istration's (FAA) hiring practices for air traffic controllers in an effort to increase diversity. In 2013, the FAA moved away from a merit-based hiring process that had been in place since the 1970s. The previous system prioritized applicants who earned a degree from one of the FAA's Collegiate Training Initiative schools and scored well on the Air Traffic Selection and Training (AT-SAT) exam, which measures cognitive skills.

The Obama istration determined that this process excluded too many individuals from minority groups. As a result, the FAA began using a biographical questionnaire (BQ) to initially vet potential hires. The BQ was designed to elicit stories of personal disadvantage or family hardship rather than to determine success on the job. Those who ed the BQ were deemed eligible for further consideration, while those who failed were ruled ineligible.

So many articles about Obama show up using brave browser search but not on Google.These articles were published several years ago.
Therein lies your problem.As I told you they could be lying to you, including whats in your wallet or bank .

It is crystal clear you only know Orange 🍊 Man Bad nd Obama could do no wrong.
By now you should have known. Having ATCs who are not the best is not the same as having an incompetent Joe Biden as president,he was only g documents given to him.

Pam Bondi the AG nominee represented Trump in the first sham impeachment case.
This case was based on a leaked call by a CIA operative to Vindman from the white house They ran to Adam Schiff with the story who got Mary McCord as their legal consultant. Mary McCord lawfare extraordinaire needs to be questioned.
You bet Pam Bondi will investigate the Ukraine bribes to Hunter and Joe Bidens based on her insider knowledge. While impeachment was going on, FBI already had Hunter Biden laptop that detailed all the Burisma corruption. They never said anything about it.
Kash Patel as FBI director must want to know why FBI never revealed that Burisma was paying Hunter $83k monthly at the time of the impeachment. Heads should roll.
cococandy.


Currently the acting deputy AG is Emil Bove .He represented Trump in the Alvin Bragg case and the Florida Jackboot case. Any prizes for guessing Jack won't be under fresh scrutiny. Plus George Soros poodle Alvin Bragg. Matthew Colengalo left DOJ as Associate AG to head Alvin Bragg New York inquisition.I hope Emil Bove wants to know why Matthew left and who sent him. I also hope Emil Bove gets the deputy AG .

The trio, Bondi, Kash Patel and Bove should bankrupt those sick fuckers who thought they could ruin a one Donald J Trump.

Summary.
The hunter becomes the hunted
Joe Bidens illegal pardons notwithstanding.
QAnon used that phrase. I don't believe in Q nonsense. But a broken clock is right twice a day
