No Nicky
Diversity Workers are OK in some Jobs
Trump said that.

But Not this


He is referring to Disabled people workers
that are not good enough mentally
for this type of job.
Common Sense.

Because for it to be an accident it just has to be a freak "wrong place wrong time" occurrence... for it to be deliberate, the helicopter pilot would have had to precisely gauge hitting the plane, at a 90 degree angle, when the plane is moving at 150mph+, and the helicopter's TOP speed is no more than 150mph.

If that helicopter pilot to have pulled that off on purpose - first time, one shot at it... it's just highly unlikely.

If it had been a head on collision maybe but it was at an angle from the side.

Yes

Helicopters are inherently unsafe. They require huge amounts of maintenance to keep them flying. It's perfectly possible that it had an equipment failure and thats what led to the disaster

Listening to the air traffic controller, he sounded very calm and assured...

It is completely inappropriate to say that it was anyones fault at this stage

A reporter asking trump if he is going to visit the site of the crash and his response being bemused “you want me to go swimming?”

He’s just the best

No. He's actually calling out the racism.

He's talking about people being hired not by their competence, but by their identity (which in many cases is the definition of racism)

This is incompetence.

Night before DC crash, another airliner nearly collided with a helicopter: report
S: https://www.foxnews.com/live-news/mi...ash-dc-airport

Quote:
Emergency response units search the crash site of the American Airlines plane on the Potomac River after the plane crashed last night on approach to Reagan National Airport on January 30, 2025 in Arlington, Virginia. The American Airlines flight from Wichita, Kansas collided in midair with a military helicopter while approaching the airport. According to reports there were no survivors amongst the 67 people on board both aircraft. (Tasos Katopodis/Getty Images)

The night before American Eagle Flight 5342 collided with an Army Black Hawk helicopter near Reagan National Airport on Wednesday night, a jet that tried to land at the same airport had to circle around and make another approach after a helicopter approached its flight path, according to reports.

The Washington Post reported that an audio recording from air traffic control captured the encounter, and ultimately, Republic Airways Flight 4514 landed safely, flight tracking software shows.


The Embraer E-175 was cleared to land at the airport’s Runway 19 and advised about a helicopter in its vicinity. It executed a go-around maneuver after its automated collision avoidance system ordered what's known as a ‘resolution advisory’ to avoid nearby traffic.

That put the aircraft out of proper alignment for landing, but was able to land safely several minutes later, The Associated Press reported.

The military helicopter was advised of the plane, which was flying around flew roughly 1,000 feet above the helicopter, according to flight tracking sites cited by the AP.

As to Wednesday’s crash, officials said they believe there are no survivors.

Responders continue to sort through the wreckage in search of remains. In total, there were 67 people on board the helicopter and airliner, combined.
