Deadly plane crash

[Reagan]

 

One has to wonder about this!  It appears that the helicopter went straight at the jet.   I saw the video of it.   Again, this is what appears to have taken place!

Why am I not surprised this is not a topic on here? 2 weeks ago it would've been all Biden fault... of course Donald is blaming Biden and democrats. U can't make this stuff up

I don't have the energy...

The air traffic controllers (ATC) were in contact with both aircraft (as they had to be in that class of airspace). The helicopter asked for “visual separation” which was approved by ATC.

Visual separation is relying on eyes to see and avoid other aircraft and not rely only ATC instructions or vectoring. Visual separation can only occur in clear conditions where other aircraft can be easily seen.

 This was a crystal clear night.

It was posted 9 hours ago but was moved to the locker room forum where it belongs.

 That’s what got you confused.

I don't think there is some weird plot going on - but strange

lol, TDS on display.

There is a certain amount of air space for airports. Should this chopper have even been there? I heard no warnings about encroachment. Just the way I think. I could be wrong.

He never came out and said it was the fault of the previous administration. He did, however elude to the FAA's previous DEI requirements brought about under the Biden administration.

"The Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) "targeted disabilities" policy drew criticism from public figures Monday.

The guidelines, announced in March 2022, set an annual FAA hiring goal of 3% for severely impaired employees. The listed disabilities include psychiatric and intellectual impairments, complete and partial paralysis, blindness, deafness, missing extremities, epilepsy and dwarfism.

The FAA states the "targeted disabilities" category is the only protected group for which federal agencies can have a hiring goal since severely disabled workers face the most challenges with obtaining employment. The agency also claims diversity is “integral” to ensuring “safe” and “efficient” travel across the world." - Pilot Magazine

Trump never said that's what specifically caused the accident.

Yes  

I think it was at least three times that he specifically stated that the air traffic controllers were not known to be at fault.

He made that statement during his opening remarks, saying that there was no evidence that the ATC was at fault and at least two more questions when reporters tried to get him to say that it was their fault. He denied it any such claims conclusions.

Trump hasn't blamed anyone yet.   We don't have all the facts.  But, if you want to go there here it is:

 

What's the deal with "FAA's diversity push includes focus on hiring people with 'severe intellectual' and 'psychiatric' disabilities? This was under JoeBama.  Trump put a stop to it!!
