Its pretty sick to attack his adversaries over such a tragedy. This is not a unifying message. Such disrespect to the victims.

[@mythrapi73]

amen. he's taking advantage of tragedy to put down previous administrations. He mentions "high intelect" too bad we don't have anyone like that for our president not to mention ethics or morality.

He doesn't know what he's talking about. Sigh.... People would respect him more if he didn't talk when he isn't knowledgeable about a topic. It's the most simple thing to do in the world. Why is this so difficult for this man? No one expects him to be knowledgeable about all things. This is stupid.

[@David0gden]

So he says only the best and brightest intense geniuses need to be flight traffic controllers. And then he continued to hack a "common sense" investigation of the accident from a podium? Pretty sure if we have high standards for flight traffic controllers we need fire standards for the people who investigate the accidents. This man never understands regulation.

He is blaming the. Traffic control. Do we know it was a control
