The DC control tower was understaffed. There was only one controller, controlling both helicopters and planes. Those are supposed to be separate jobs.

We need to investigate whether Donald Trump's hiring freeze last week played a role.

The guy from The Apprentice, who hired a Fox weekend host to run the Pentagon and a cast member from the Real World to run the FAA (the two agencies associated with the incident) says the real cause of a deadly plain crash is DEI.
REPORTER: I'm trying to figure out how you can come to the conclusion right now that diversity had something to do with this crash.

TRUMP: Because I have common sense, ok? And unfortunately a lot of people don't

I don't think MAGA or Donald Trump can claim Sam Lilley, one of the pilots of the American Airlines plane that crashed with the Army Black Hawk helicopter, is a DEI hire.

Him and his family deserve better.

OK, you can't have it both ways, Donald.

You can't stupidly brag about how you ended DEI to bring back safety at the FAA and then stupidly blame DEI the first time there is a crash on your watch.

Fascist incompetency in 5 easy steps.

1) Trump freezes hiring of Air Traffic Controllers

2) Trump fires director of FAA.

3) Trump cuts $16 billion from transportation budget.

4) 1st US plane crash in 16 years occurs.

5) Trump: "I blame my predecessor!"

all I know is that had President Biden forced out the FAA chief under pressure from his top adviser and his corrupt motives, and then the next week there was a plane crash that killed more than 60 people, Republicans would be howling that it was an impeachable offense.

We did not have a FAA administrator to respond to the tragic crash last night in DC. Why? Because Elon Musk pushed the head appointed under Biden to resign after he fined SpaceX for failing to follow safety license requirements. www.theverge.com/news/603113/...
The FAA is facing a major crisis without a leader because Elon Musk pushed him out
FAA chief Michael Whitaker resigned earlier this month after facing criticism from Musk.

Bodies are still being pulled from the Potomac.

The President and extreme MAGA Republicans are blaming women and people of color for the deadly plane crash.

At the same time, they are dismantling the Federal Aviation Administration as we know it.

Disgusting.

Donold is blaming a plane crash that killed 67 people on “DEI” with zero evidence.

He is attempting to use racism to deflect from the fact it is HIS fault. He had just removed 100 FAA senior officials.

It’s been 11 days and there are 67 bodies in the Potomac in Washington DC because of him.

The FAA has revealed that control tower staffing was “not normal for the time of day and volume of traffic.”
Staffing at D.C. Airport’s Control Tower Was ‘Not Normal’ Night of Crash
A preliminary FAA report says staffing levels were lower than they should have been given the time of day and amount of traffic.

🛬UPDATE—Airport control tower was understaffed at time of DCA airport crash—one controller was working 2 different tower positions, normally done by 2 people—which FAA memo says was “not normal for the time of day and volume of traffic”. ➡️We should not downsize the FAA

Trump said 67 people died in a plane crash because not enough white people work at the FAA.

Remember, this is the guy corporate America lined up behind.

Apart from the water, I look forward to Canada slapping revenge tariffs on the US if needs be, especially as Canada supply 98% of US gas, and 85% of US electricity.

With new figures showing that more than one in three children in the UK are now living in poverty, with deprivation hitting a record high, it's good to see the Times focusing on the people who are really struggling
