Without Buttigieg to run the Dept of Transportation, things will probably get worse.

DEI needs to end. Pilots need to be hired based on SKILL and MERIT!!!
And how quiet ATC is
We currently have a Air Traffic Controller Shortage
DEI? 😢
Prayers for the families of the plane and helicopter
Please stay safe.
Sounds like somebody on that plane was a high profile target the plan had to be followed by the Black Hawk
No matter what happens, there are conspiracy theories. Accidents happen. A friend was just saying the other day that there had been no large commercial crashes for many years. At least this one was caught on film so everyone can see exactly what happened.
Why do we care what party the governors are??????? People died
Was this a DEI hire?
I am fiery anti-Trump, but I cannot think of a way to logically blame him for this. On the flipside, I believe he is probably annoyed and feeling inconvenienced he had to respond to it, with no concern of the lives of the victims. Or more likely he will try to find some "win" he can dig out of the entire situation. Like he will take credit for fixing airline safety.
Pray for all the lives lost and their family and friends saddened! What a horrible tragedy!
The TV coverage is pathetic. I feel for the people onboard.
Terrorists attack in every helicopter accident in America
Curious how this happened? Can't wait for the official word. Someone did not do their job. We have the best radar in the world, I would think around the capital. Someone failed. Unfortunately. Lifesavers should have no obstructions. Bless those affected!
I'm currently in Philly, but I'm from the DMV area. I send my fullest regards and sorrows to all the families involved in this accident. No matter how it was caused, it's a tragedy nonetheless, and lives were ended tonight. Praying for all those souls
