More correct headline:
Trump yet again lies by making up rambling story about imaginary people causing an airliner crash before the dead bodies have gone cold
Airplane crashes a lot of times are very complicated with a lot of important factors leading up to the crash. This, combined with usually complete carnage and destruction, makes it that typical investigations take weeks, months, sometimes years.
Even if trump had been able to form a coherent message about the cause of this crash it would have been bullshit because never in the history of aviation did we know for certain what the cause of a crash was within 16 hours of a crash. It’s. That. Simple.
Then again, this is trump, and no investigation will be made because this will become the official reason, the end
Trump yet again lies by making up rambling story about imaginary people
You could have said the same thing about the eating dogs and cats diatribe.
He’s lampshading the next groups he’s going to round up. I bet there’s going to be an expansion of mental health intake and transfers of the “criminal” insane to the new camps that are getting opened up.
It’s amazing how well this works on n his base.
He blamed it on DEI and NTSB ex chief said he did more to degrade the safety they’ve built than anyone in 40 years
Yes, he blamed DEI and specifically said it was due to the FAA hiring people with mental and physical disabilities.
So he blames himself? Refreshing change of pace there.
There is a good chance this was caused in large part by Trump and his enshitification efforts. Right now the entire federal workforce is demoralized by various actions of Traitorapist Trump, degrading the quality of government across all levels. Air traffic controllers are part of the federal workforce. They were also short staffed, which in itself was likely cause by the poor morale. Blaming the hiring of minorities makes no sense given that a big part of the problem was not enough staff.
Trump knows this and knows that other people will make that connection too, and so him blaming this on DEI was his way of deflect the blame away from his rapid enshitification of government.
Why’s he gotta bad talk the president like that.
Report is that one ATC was doing the work that’s supposed to be done by two, due to staffing shortages.
(D)ead in the water.
Its like he goes out of his way to project.
Have you ever noticed how absolutely fixated this guy is on assigning people mental issues?
I am officially upgrading that from 🤔 to Ominous.
Magically, for 16 years none of these issues resulted in this outcome
severe intellectual disabilities, psychiatric problems, or other mental or physical conditions
So trump is confirming his numerous physical and mental deficiencies?
This is 10000% on Trump and Musk. I give them 30 days of they stay in the country
He’s going to use this as an excuse to repeal the Americans with Disabilities Act. I’m calling it.
it’s in project 2025
Nostradamus [Belle] two days ago:
“If they keep the details quiet [of the recent closed-door meeting], you’ll be able to tell what they’re going after [in the budget] by listening to their rhetoric”.
“They’ll start scapegoating a demographic, to try and prime the [voter] base to accept their cuts.”
(e.g.) “If they start talking about able-bodied people, it’s Medicaid.”
So many rascal driving MAGAots are about to have their face eaten.
Sucks it will affect decent folks.
Sounds like a good description of the guy who just tried to fire the entire FAA.
He might have been looking in a mirror when thinking of what kind of demographic to blame
The best take
So he’s accepting personal responsibility?
I’m not suggesting he will accept it willingly, we’ll have to force it on him, as he is convicted.
I think I will blame Trump instead. He was dictator on day one. How could the Orange Turd let this happen!
He caused this to happen with his various actions of enshitifying the quality of government.
So no idea of really how the crash happened, don’t have black boxes yet. But somehow knows it was dei. Right.
….
PAT25(?) announced that they have a visual on the CRJ. ATC instructed them to maintain visual separation and then proceed behind the CRJ. They didn’t. No maydays, no panpans.
It’s pilot deviation or pilot error.
What would you be interested in with the black box? If the TAWS warned the CRJ pilots?
Black box is woke dei hire.
wouldn’t have happened if white box.
New EO just dropped. We’re calling them white boxes and painting them to prevent future tragedy.
This is even funnier because black boxes are bright orange
Of course. Had it been a white box, it would have avoided this crash, we all know that!
/s
You missed an even better joke with white hawk helicopter.
Looks more like rainbow colored to me.
The ATC queries them multiple times if they have visual on the CRJ and they repeatedly respond in the affirmative.
also the published helicopter corridor has them maintain a ceiling of 200 feet, they were well above 350 at the time of the collision.
It’s either pilot negligence or instrument failure.
also TCAS is inactive below
800900 feet.TCAS doesn’t give resolution advisories (alerts that say to climb or descend to avoid traffic) below 1000’. It does have a warning noise still, but from my understanding it’s common for it to go off on approach due to all the other aircraft around and on the ground at the airport, so it may have been ignored.
Wouldn’t that be TCAS?
You right. Helicopters aren’t terrain. My bad
