Let's ask the unalive people's family if they feel safer now that T gutted the Aviation Security Advisory Committee last week.

[@UBU-IME]

Prayers for the family members of the victims. Bless the search and rescue team, keep them safe.🙏

[@goddessbutterfly27]

Oh MY this is scary and so sad💔😢

[@prilep5]

How many times in the last year there were reports for “to close calls” and unsafe flying. Something was going on in the FAA or DOT we had to lose American lives for someone to see what is going on. Condolences to the families who lost loved ones we are hurting too.😡😢

[@edwardchristopher6447]

95% of the world’s problems is communication. Why didn’t you mention communication frequencies for the FAA control tower agent, why are there different frequencies for different aircraft landing at the same airport? This is beyond STUPIDITY!

He just fired 400 TSA safety experts and the director so Firing 400 TSA safety experts and the director might not have been the place to start on day one but I guess can blame the previous administration just like in late 2019 early 2020 -3 years in to the term. Unfortunately PEOPLE WILL BELIEVE IT which is nowhere near as heartbreaking as it is for these families.

But Don Juan de Mango ended DEI like a week ago, so logically, DEI couldnt have caused this!

[@paw-za-tivepooch4508]

Thanks for the update

[@stepin2_battle682]

Hold up... I thought military helicopters are equipped with TCAS

[@WorldwideFolkloreTales]

Very Very sad and avoidable. There will be so many questions regarding the military flights so close to the civilian air space. The lights around there using NV goggles with all of the distractions not to mention no TCAS on a black hawk. Our sincere condolences to all the families and victims. Please do not politicize this story

[@WorldwideFolkloreTales]

To add that TCAS is mostly dialled down around very busy air spaces due to it constantly alarming of nearby traffic, however it only works on vehicles equipped. If one doesnt have it then the other that does have it, wont 'see' the other traffic

[@WayofYahushua]

Night vision goggles will end you everytime ! The desert crash of the rescue mission for the Iranian hostages was CAUSED BY NIGHT VISION GOGGLES !

[@OhhhG.Dittzz]

Joe and kammy’s dei policies led to this. 😢😢

[@UBU-IME]

Trump blamed DEI hires. JANUARY 10 - Trump fires the head of the Federal
Aviation Administration, the department in charge
of flight safety
JANUARY 21 - Trump freezes hiring for Air Trafic
Controllers
JANUARY 22- Trump disbands the Aviation
Safety Advisory Committee
JANUARY 22 - Trump lays off all federal DEI hires.
JANUARY 28 - Trump sends out a buyout/
retirement demand to existing employees,
removing experienced safety staff
JANUARY 29 - First American mid-air collision in
16 years
No wonder trump fired our Inspector Generals who were the American people's watch dogs.

[@briamoore8745]

No it’s Trump he did this ! 😡

[@johnb2422]

No plane crashes in America for 16 years, he’s in office for 11 days, passes a bunch of stupid executive orders, fires a bunch of people, we have our first crash in 16 years, and it’s everybody else’s fault.
Let me ask you, who's fault is it your brain can hardly function? Was it all the drugs? Did your mother drink while pregnant?
