Here's The New Republic headline: "Trump Gutted Key Aviation Safety Committee Before D.C. Plane Crash." Now, it isn't likely this stupid move by the Oval Office Lunatic is what killed the 67 people in the collision between an American airlines plane and a helicopter, close to Ronald Reagan airport. However, it is possible this move could affect future potential accidents, and deaths, and there is absolutely no evidence that it is the fault of the Biden administration. An American Airlines pilot said...
"The notoriously difficult job of navigating airspace restrictions near Reagan National Airport is made more complicated by the very congested air traffic there."
Then Dennis Tajer, spokesperson for the Allied Pilots Association, commented...
“It’s a precarious balance of security and jamming in as many airplanes as you can get in there, because demand is so high.”
J. D. Vance chimed in by mimicking Trump and said...
"...without citing any evidence – that hiring standards have been lowered at air traffic control, which would be rectified by the Trump administration."The second White House maniac also said air traffic controllers were not hired under Biden "because of the color of their skin.”
The New Republic piece provides the scenario...
"Last week, just days after his inauguration, Donald Trump eliminated the membership of a key committee that handles aviation security. And on Wednesday night, a passenger plane collided with a military helicopter in the Washington, D.C., area."
"On Tuesday, January 22, the Aviation Security Advisory Committee’s members received a memo from the Trump administration saying that the Department of Homeland Security was getting rid of the membership of all advisory committees in a “commitment to eliminating the misuse of resources and ensuring that DHS activities prioritize our national security.” At the same time, Trump also fired the heads of the Transportation Security Administration and the Coast Guard.
When Trump was asked how he could be so definitive about who was at fault for the crash, he said...
“Because I have common sense, OK, and unfortunately, a lot of people don’t.”
That comment is not worth a reply, except, Holy Crap!
