@@mattdelany6799what a horrible and untrue comment to make. No need to ask who you voted for Deafness and hearing loss are widespread and found in every region and country. Currently more than 1.5 billion people (nearly 20% of the global population) live with hearing loss; 430 million of them have disabling hearing loss.
This was the largest air crash since 2001. The most sinister thing today is that in 2001 the death tolls were attributed to malice, the death tolls today are attributed to incompetence. We can’t lower the standards for pilots, generals, air traffic control staff, leaders, anyone.
Nobody’s lowering any standards for pilots and ATC staff. It takes a long time to train them for one and two there’s been a staff shortage for a very long time now. More ATC employees are retiring than getting hired. This may have been caused by a controller at DCA handling too many responsibilities at once due to being understaffed.
The 2001 date is actually not for 9/11, an American Airlines A300 crashed after takeoff from JFK 2 months after 9/11. That was also in part due to incompetence.
and Pete Buttigieg was a mayor before he was Secretary of Transportation. We had some of the worst train accidents in US history under Buttigieg. There are some places that are still toxic waste dumps from those accidents, and there's been no clean up.
This is why we pay taxes. Safety administrations and others. Trump wants to reduce the federal workforce, including those that WE pay for to help keep us safe. He wants to reduce the federal workforce to have money in the budget for massive tax cuts for the billionaires who bought him. WE pay TAXES for OUR SAFETY!
Did you forget? Joe and Pete B have been at the helm for the last four years, lowering the standards for just about everything. Four years. Make sure you remember it.
@@mikedavis6711Joe Biden and Pete didn’t just cut a huge portion out of the FAA but Trump just did. Get their names out of your mouth. This is Trump’s show now. So far he’s done nothing but divide and run his idiotic mouth.
Our tax dollars have been wasted the last 4 yrs. I bet you had no issue sending billions to Ukraine while ignoring so many issues in this country. The workforce that is being cut is not NTSB or any other critical agencies. I bet you're really upset at the Democrats in LA and California for cutting the fire department?
This is not that complicated to understand what happened. There were multiple planes in the air in the same space at the same time lined up to land at the airport. The visual that the helicopter pilot had was on the wrong plane the plane that was located directly behind the plane it crashed into.
@habibi750 Pilots were running NVGs. They distort the view on distance significantly. They also enhance light quite a lot and the closest aircraft was probably lost in the backdrop of the city lights.
I’m getting tired of government briefings starting off with endless thank-yous. They’re grown ups doing what they’re paid to do, we don’t need a pep rally.
I'm hoping we'll actually get facts from these people and not a bunch of BS rhetoric like the president gave he's so despicable it's ridiculous just when you think he can't stoop any lower he continues to amaze us all😂😂
@@baldeagle4710 But not in the way you are insinuating. The lack of safety controls and procedures caused by sudden loss of staffing in a Department have made this possible, not the type of people making up that staff. You have no idea of how to select specialized and complex trained staff for roles, so stop pontificating about DEI as a causal issue. Without DEI you will get a dumbed down, incompetent staff that has only one trait to make them employable; loyalty to one person, not competent and able to complete the tasks set to them. When confronting a complex issue, there can be more than one answer to a problem.
Well the airport did have one person handling two duties at once. Normally one person handles departures. One person handles arriving aircraft. This controller was doing both for one of the busiest airports in the country.
Unless it was ignoring air traffic control, then it's the controls fault. I did hear some piece of equipment to react to nearby objects was no longer in use, and that they were mostly experienced crew. Unsure of normal airspace uses and protocols.
Not surprised if the copter pilot is at fault. Golly the plane is not small, he can’t miss it. The plane pilot will have a hard time to see the copter because of poor peripheral view.
@ Let me educate you. Go to skyvector charts, check out DC Helicopter routes, and pay particular attention to route 1. I think you’ll find your assertion holds absolutely no water.
Joe and Pete B have been at the helm for the last four years, lowering the standards for just about everything. Four years. Make sure you remember that.
Two biggies, the copter had no ADSB data going out, and that's why you can't see it on radar aps. That ADSB data would have made that jet scream at its pilot to go around automatically, and they would have. The second thing is controllers had too much faith in the helicopter seeing the jet traffic and trusting that they would pass behind it. It could be that they got used to letting people do this, and it works most of the time -I don't know about their policies there. This looks like a simple misunderstanding that turned into a disaster. Trump was not a DEI hire, and he's still a moron.
We do training flights every day. Our Pilots are requires to have a certain amount of flight hours in a certain time to maintain their progression. It's not that deep.
He already made a statement this morning. He also is questioning why the Blackhawk was at the same altitude and in a direct flight path of a major airport. He said the DoD was going to investigate and make changes.

Haven't had a passenger plane crash in 16 years. Ten days in and the orange menace has fired top staff, created chaos, hired an inexperienced SecDef who's helicopter took down a passenger plane. 47 has no idea what he's doing.
We have had passenger planes crash, 2024 was the deadliest year for plane crashes since 2018. Under Biden, wheels fell off planes, doors got sucked out of planes, people breeched airport security and stowed away in wheel wells getting killed, people got sucked into jet engines, one lady flew to France as a stowaway.
