Then is this trans pilot rumor wrong? Terrible rumor if so.

They've named almost everyone else, including a lot of the passengers. Family should know by now, and it's a national, public tragedy.

To recap:
- Whittaker left on his own because he was scared that it will soon come to light that he targeted Elon Musk due to his political affiliations.
- 11 months ago, there was a letter written to the Biden administration by 11 attorneys general, expressing extreme frustration over the new DEI policies in aviation. They were worried about safety, but they had gotten zero response.
- One year ago it was widely reported that there was a hiring shortage for air traffic controllers because of the DIE quotas
- the TSA has absolutely nothing to do with airplane crashes. Even you understand that people who pat other people down, have no impact on landing an airplane.
- the commission you’re talking about advises TSA and therefore is also irrelevant.
- despite knowing there was a shortage and despite last year, multiple almost crashes that occurred under the watch of Joe Biden and Pete Buttigieg, Democrats refused to scrap their deadly and dangerous DIE quotas in the aviation space.
Stop lying.

‘Tis the season for holiday travel, which makes it the perfect time to drop @BlazeTV's latest Original: Countdown to the Next Aviation Disaster.
Over the past four years, the FAA has been plagued by outdated technology and a shift toward DEI hiring practices, and the results have been disastrous.
The aviation industry has never felt more unsafe, from aircraft malfunctions mid-flight to an alarming increase in near misses.
The Biden/Harris administration, with Pete Buttigieg at the helm of transportation, has created one of the most dangerous environments for what used to be the most convenient way to travel.

New video from Blancolirio. He shows the ceiling for helo was 200ft but it goes up to 300ft and they merge. They met nose to nose pretty much, plane moving north and helo moving south.

Some of you people must have been watching a different press conference than I was.
I see nothing wrong with the comments Trump made. He was not just speaking off the cuff. He has receipts to back up what he was saying.

As someone who knows nothing about aviation, how do these crashes not occur more with the amount of commercial flights and military training going on at the DC airport?
Seems like they're in near proximity alot and at night, have a ton of lights from cars and buildings from the city.

If tranny chopper pilot deliberately hit the plane this is going to blow up the tranny community and the demorat party.

Is it confirmed the pilot was a tranny?

That's the rumor. Why hasn't the identity been officially released? I'm sure we will get something today.
All the whining about Trump's rhetoric is silly. He always does this. Everything he has said that sounds outlandish or out of left field eventually is proven true in most regards.

You have the helicopter pilot's eyes. Is there not radar on the helicopter and an onboard warning system? Even baws on the bayou have these on their center consoles. You also have ATC and their radar systems. All these levels of human and engineering controls to prevent a collision and it still happens. Amazing.
Military helicopters are not equipped the same way civilian helicopters are for a reason. There are extreme tactical disadvantages to having the same equipment. That’s about all I will go into that.
DCA should have been closed after 9/11 but for the convenience of politicians it remains open.
Yall can cut the DEI bullshite excuse out. Being a controller in DC is quite an accomplishment for ATC controller. In order to get assigned there they have to be some of the best in their industry due to the sensitivity and high traffic volume of the DC airspace.
There will be numerous contributing factors that will come from the NTSB investigation. It will lay the fault of the accident at the tombs of the deceased pilots because that’s what they do.
It was not a terror attack, it wasn’t DEI, it wasn’t any of those things. If you know what the Swiss Cheese Model is then you’ll begin to understand what happened.

Big Number
At least 18. That’s how many military personnel have died from the crashes and mishaps of Army helicopters, including hard landings and other incidents, in the past two years. Fatalities from these incidents tally higher than those killed in recent combat operations abroad, according to The New York Times.

even though they’re getting that much airtime And everybody’s making a big deal about it, the numbers are a lot lower than any other year
