Apparently Trump was referring to trans traffic controllers they hired to be diverse, and rejected many highly intelligent people who were more qualified for the jobs.

If they passed the extensive health screenings before then they are qualified for the job.

The fact is he’s popular because Americans ARE stupid. That is fact. A dangerous one that he’s managed to capitalise on for his own gain.

It’s true. Have you seen the intelligence at a Trump rally? There is none.

[The US Army has refused to identify the co-pilot
of the helicopter in the DC air disaster
at the request of the family.
Pilot in charge Chief Warrant Office 2 Andrew Eaves
and crew chief Staff Sergeant Ryan O'Hara were
named on Friday as those on board.
The Black Hawk helicopter appeared to fly straight
into American Airlines Flight 5342 as in came in
to land at Reagan National Airport just before
9pm on Wednesday]

Strange, why would they want to keep it hidden especially as ATC has already been thrown under the bus

The family requested it for now, I had read. I can understand it's probably horrible right now with how people are overreacting. Right now they are all victims.

A devastating plane crash in Washington, D.C., has claimed the lives of seven friends returning home from a duck hunting trip in Kansas. The group had spent nearly a week hunting with Fowl Plains, an outfitter in Great Bend, enjoying a successful trip filled with duck, goose, and pheasant hunting.

Their return flight, American Airlines 5342, was just minutes from landing at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport when tragedy struck late Wednesday night. A mid-air collision between their Bombardier CRJ-700 and a Black Hawk military helicopter caused both aircraft to crash into the icy Potomac River. All 64 people onboard the two aircraft perished, including the seven hunters: Jesse Pitcher, Michael Stovall, Steve Johnson, Alexander Huffman, Charles McDaniel, Jonathan Boyd, and Tommy Clagget.

Three other members of the hunting group survived only because they opted to drive home with their bird dogs and hunting gear. In a heartbreaking statement, Fowl Plains expressed their grief, calling the victims “family” and remembering the final days spent together in laughter and camaraderie.

Investigators are still determining the cause of the collision, with early speculation suggesting possible miscommunication between air traffic control and the helicopter crew. The official findings could take years, but for now, families and friends are left mourning an unfathomable loss.
Reports on some more of the victims coming out now.
