Philadelphia crash: Americans confidence in airlines 'shaken' after second fatal crash in days

"When Americans see the news that most air traffic controllers towers are understaffed that doesn’t inspire lot of confidence that they can fly safely."
Americans trust in aviations systems is "shaken" after two crashes in just a few days following a decade of no incidents, says White House reporter for Politico Daniel Lipman.

04:23 "Trump...is trying to reassure people that he's not trying to politicize every crash..." Dear reporter, thanks ever so much for translating Trumps actions into something that seems Presidential, compassionate and sane. [/sarcasm]

[@trumpsbumboi]

Trump is the lowest of the low 🤮

[@wisdoma4860]

HE GETS RID OF FAA WORKERS LAST WEEK? THEN CHOAS. ITS A PLAN TO CRASH THE MARKET AND ECONOMY, THEN HE BUILDS THE MARKET UP, THEN HE WILL SAY WHAT A GENUISE HE IS . SAME OLD SHADY PLAY 🤣YOU ALL FELL FOR IT

[@marcusaurelius49]

Cancel your flights people. Vote with your wallets. If we all stand together and demand a safer airline industry they will have to change or cease to exist

[@River_68]

Call your representatives and demand safe air space. Look up people

[@carmencastillo2989]

Trump, his supporters, and voters said that these airline fatalities were caused by Obama, Biden, and Kamala. The devils are doing all these killings. Stop all flights. It's too dangerous to have orange Jesus.

[@riskinhos]

Trump just froze the hiring of critical air traffic controllers and fired the heads of the Transportation Security Administration and the entire aviation security advisory committee 3 days ago before this happening despite many warnings from experts that it would severely undermine aviation security. Americans have voted for this. it was their choice. you can cancel whatever you want. it won't change anything. that's now how you vote.

More Trump chaos.

[@Belenus3080]

There is a problem with staffing at ATC. Meanwhile, there have been white men turned down because they don’t meet “biographic requirements” of DEI hiring programs.

[@veramae4098]

I'm so sorry. Say it after me President Trump "I'm so sorry."

[@chrisschaeffer9661]

He's NOT. Only because He looks Bad

[@jool4867]

He’s too busy blaming DEI and immigrants

[@JohnHolmes-h9v]

" I'm so sorry...... that the Biden Administration put in all of these horrible unqualified candidates" is the closest statement that you're going to get from him unfortunately

[@cecilymurdoch2284]

So sad for everyone affected by these tragedies. Trump needs to wait for the reports from the experts before he points the finger and shuts down everything. The DEI have created so many jobs for those with disabilities but they are not placed in positions that they are incapable of doing unless their disability has no effect on the job they are hired for.There is no reason for example that a person confined to a wheelchair couldn’t do the job of a flight tower operator etc.It is well known that Trump finds those with disabilities as dispensable so how long before they can still maintain meaningful employment under Trumps Regime.

[@Belenus3080]

They have turned away qualified white men because they don’t meet the “biographic requirements” of DEI hiring practices.

[@JohnHolmes-h9v]

If we see a third one sometime soon I'd be very concerned that it might be software issues and nefarious actors

[@smithpm81]

silly, they usually happen in clumps, so unless all are confirmed with the same reasons fo the crash it is coincidence

@@smithpm81 usually? what are you talking about. When was the last clump?

[@AnotherPointOfView944]

Totally different types of aircraft involved, so software isn't going to be a common factor. At all. As for nefarious actors do you mean Liam Neeson or Joaquin Phoenix? They're both pretty bad.

[@smithpm81]

@@AnotherPointOfView944 ok I will spell it out for you, if you have ever looked at aircrash data, they tend to happen not just once and then nothing for a long time, they tend to happen in a more common placed series of accidents. For example you can predict probable aircrashes, Most happen in the northern hemisphere (top half of the planet). Most aircrashes the flight company logo usually has blue or red colour in it. Aircrashes most likley happen in spates (regularly occuring events) I will post links to official websites so you that have these studies on them if you wish. Or you can do your own research and save my valuable time?
