President Trump claims "low standards" for air traffic control after DCA plane crash

[@CRYSTALIZ34548]

He fired most of them a week ago People voted for this man

@@CRYSTALIZ34548 so now ya blaming him for this crash ???? Lmfaooo he just got into office it's obvious these people were I'm office before Trump got in, ya be lying and blaming him for things that's impossible

[@Trahzy]

​@shootertone5644 He literally did just fire a ton of them last week though.

[@kaitlin8669]

The air traffic did nothing wrong. The helicopter disregarded tower control and flew right in despite being warned 3 times.

You can see on traffic controllers screen that the helicopter was at 300ft and not at 200ft like it supposed to be. Controller should have reacted.

Entirely unsurprising that he has (1) made this tragedy into an opportunity to talk about himself and (2) turned into into a political device. Not the time for that, dude.

Yes, he’s fixing what Obama broke!

[@1objection]

Gee, I wonder if firing people in charge of safety had anything to do with this. What a complete buffoon. Creating the conditions for the most deadly plane crash in over 2 decades is a perfect example of how inept our diaper-in-chief is.

The air traffic controller sounded like he had an Indian accent

[@jessecrocker1097]

Proof of that or just a mouth piece for the king trump

[@MM-tw7pu]

@ listen to the audio yourself of the air traffic controller. Doesn’t mean he was incompetent thought. He did have that accent

[@deecarlson2601]

I don't even want to fly until I find out who the pilot will be! The democrats hired theaw people, let these people fly these democrats PRIVATE planes!!

[@bludgerabled]

What an absolute embarrassment of a leader, blaming the atc controllers for the crash before the investigation has concluded. Absolute scum.

[@Research-Answers]

You can see on traffic controllers screen that the helicopter was at 300ft instead of 200ft. Controller didn't take any action.

[@lisazack6459]

@@Research-Answers What if the air traffic controller is a 6'4'' heterosexual white guy, what happens to his argument then? There is a time and place for that conversation, but it's certainly not directly after an accident when they don't even know what caused the accident and they're many people in distress. What concerns me about this President is his inability to appreciate that his position at that moment is to give words of comfort to the families who have lost relatives. Instead he goes off on a rant about policies that we assume were instigated through Biden, the relatives of the deceased don't want hear about this right now, his common sense is woefully absent.

[@markcooney4479]

He wouldn't know those standards if they were shown to him

[@lumpytapioca5062]

Always with him, no fault, no blame, no responsibility, no truth.

[@ramonabutler5226]

Can someone tell me how a Black Hawk military copter flies in the same air space as a comercial plane ? Also, as expected he blames everyone else instead of focusing on the victims. Lastly when have we had this kind of tragedy in the last 15 years?

[@alphabravoh]

@@ramonabutler5226 You do know that Andrews is litterally 6 miles east of DCA, and the White House front lawn is 3 miles north of the approach end of the runway and river where both aircraft went down, right? There is a metric ton of military aircraft in thr DC Special Flight Rules Area all the time, including up and down the Potomac River. Why should military aircraft be excluded from commerical airspace? How does that make sense in any way, especially in highly conjested airspace like we have in the Northeast?

[@hermanmunster714]

​@@alphabravoh how about shut down Reagan to commercial flights. Leave it strictly military & Capitol use. Too many flights in a highly congested area. Aren't there nearby airports like Dulles?

[@majidosei2185]

The better question is why there were no crashes when Clinton, Bush, Obama, but there is a crash after Trump messes with the FFA?

You sound so stoopid saying that with no evidence and putting that in the universe so proudy like it's something nice to say... SDFU. Keep that negativity to yourself

[@Eiseman-7]

I remember Obama said their were too many White air traffic controllers and lowered the standards.🤣😂🤣😎

[@merrytunes8697]

Are Cult 45 and his cabinet the gold standard? Inquiring minds want to know

[@hermanmunster714]

Prez Trump is right. Even the FAA admits that the staffing levels are currently too low. A New York Times study found some controllers were drunk on the job.

[@larryham6980]

@hermanmunster714 bro...he blames DIVERSITY, instead of him firing and gutting airspace regulations. All the pilots were white, maybe with the exception of Campos but even he was white passing af.

What the heck was a military helicopter doing flying that low on an air field. Why would a helicopter be flying near an airport in the first place? I guess incompetence. May those that lost their lives rest in peace. And may we get more competent people in all spaces of command. God bless America

where do you think helicopters land? mcdonald’s?

It’s right near the White House there is constant air traffic esp military in the vicinity.

The same thing it did when Clinton, Bush, and Obama were in office and they didn't screw with the FFA.
