Donald Trump, in the Oval Office, responded to a question about whether he would visit the crash site, stating: "I have a plan to visit not the site, because uh, what-you tell me, what’s the site? The water? Where [inaudible] go swimming." That site is sacred ground. Period. It is the duty of elected officials to stand as witnesses at such sites of tragedy, to embody the solemnity of the moment on behalf of us all. They are not just leaders; they are the representatives of our collective grief, our mourning, and our resolve. To treat such a place lightly is to trample on the weight of grief itself. Respect, if nothing else, should be the bare minimum.
Even if the POTUS was a person of better character, it would simply be a bad idea to visit the site at this time. Every time the President goes somewhere, a huge security operation has to go into place. Right now, that site is busy enough with recovery operations. Disrupting that because of a photo opportunity is not worth it, and I don't have much sympathy for grown adults who need 'comforting' by seeing a political leader doing a photo op as part of the media circus The only people who need genuine comforting are the relatives of the deceased, and the President can contact them by phone or other means rather than address them by photo op, while disrupting the investigation into how they died.
Why do modern airports allow pilots to rely on their own visual references? ATC could have denied the PAT25 request and enforced reliance on ATC-provided separation.
ATC juggling a cajillion moving parts and someone asks (twice) to rely on visuals and answers ATC’s question about sighting an aircraft (twice), ATC is going to get back to juggling the rest of the parts. Sadly, neither ATC confirmed the position of the airplane for the helicopter nor did the helicopter pilot question it. They were both just one cautious question away from avoiding collision.
Good interview. Every part of air travel has been understaffed since covid, when senior employees retired. Seems helicopter traffic increased since Trump’s inauguration. But, help me understand why the media keeps saying the American Airlines plane “collided” with the Blackhawk Helicopter, when it’s obvious from the video that the helicopter pointedly entered the plane’s path and crashed into it. Prayers to those who transitioned into non-physical and their families.
Harry Truman...The buck stops here.
Donald Trump... It's never my fault.

Good point but that’s still the way it is. It’s probably the helo fault.

. trump's watch - trump's fault
*Such a tragedy😔💐🕊️*
Oh, my goodness, it would be so inconvenient for politicians to have to take a commercial flight!
DEI causing crash from 2021-2024 = 0!
There were no major accidents in the time Biden was President
Yep. Disasters happen when the POTUS is a disaster.
Imagine living with Black Hawk helicopters flying 200'-300' over your neighborhood!😡🖕
When you live near an airbase, it's not uncommon.
those military choppers are stealth silent
@ Not over Dover AFB they aren't.
Also, it’s an accident.
I hope all 67 souls are flying free, no man made machine needed. 🙏😇🙏😇
simply quit flying your life means NOTHING
We wanna the true about it😮
