I commented on how low class it was for Trump to immediately politicize this crash. Plainly, he's not alone. Regards, Bill. | |||

Here we go again with the false equivalences, look-over-there, what-about-them. ************* Degenerate 1:1 1 Then Trump said, "Let Us re-make a Nation in MY Image, after My likeness, to rule over everything in the Nation, and over all the earth itself and every creature that crawls upon it". Degenerate 1:2 2 Then Trump said, "Vengeance is mine, I will repay on your behalf."

Audio seems to indicate that ATC warned the helicopter about the plane asking if it had the plane in sight, and then later cleared it to pass behind the plane. | |||

Can we be honest for just a second? You will justify ANYTHING that orange turd does. Because you are a cult member. Bill was 100% correct, Trump is completely low class, and there you are standing right beside him. Pathetic. | |||

Trump has been POTUS for less than two weeks. Already; he's responsible for a plane crash, the war in Ukraine hans't ended and the price of eggs hasn't reduced yet. But if prices would have gone down, you guys on the left would say something like, "He hasn't been POTUS long enough for his policies to have taken effect, these prices are a result of Biden's policies."

. . . he's the one that promised to end the war in the Ukraine, before he was sworn in. Now he is not even responsible for his own words? Mike | |||

Has he ever been responsible for ANY of his actions according to members of the cult? Not that I recall. Trump was right about one thing though, he could shoot someone in broad daylight on 5th Ave and these nutters would defend him. | |||

After listening to tapes 30 or so times, reviewing camera film and ADS-B in and out displays (and being licensed as a commercial pilot with multi-engine, instrument rating… sea plane, etc. and a former USMC NATOPS officer; also a defense counsel in a couple of Part 121 air carrier fatal accidents and still flying LSA at 78, I have a few things to say or ask. What ever Trump did Since Jan 20th most probably had nothing to do with the cause of the accident, DEI hiring probably had no direct impact, either. The helicopter crew asked to provide his own separation from the commercial carrier (a CRJ) and acknowledged visual contact, but was probably watching the wrong a/c inbound for landing. Most military a/c operate on UHF frequencies and civilian a/c on VHF frequencies. The tower was listening to both and broadcasting to both but the pilots in both a/c probably couldn’t hear each other, just the tower. That shouldn’t have made any difference. The regional jet is not very maneuverable in the landing configuration. Without the references available to me, the news videos from the Kennedy Center? are confusing, but the Helicopter was basically southbound and the jet northbound, then NNW to a course of 310. I believe DCA tower handles 800 flights a day. The commercial carrier had been cleared to fly an approach to Runway 01 and then turn slightly right then left to Runway 31 so while in very close proximity to the airport, 2 wing up turns of at least 20 degrees could have blocked his vision somewhat masking the helicopter. There is no transmission during the last minute or so from him as he had already been cleared to land (and none was expected). So…. The helicopter was operating in controlled airspace, had acknowledged the traffic he eventually hit (but was probably looking at the wrong approaching A/C). Immediately before landing, the passenger plane had to execute a 20 degree offset to the right requiring two turns to align with the designated landing runway. This COULD HAVE have momentarily blocked vision. My questions: Why didn’t the tower warn the commercial jet of the helicopter’s maneuvers in addition to the comments, questions or directions to the helicopter…. I never heard a warning or any kind of direction to to the CRJ. Why didn’t the helicopter not see the CRJ since the were both lighted and the closure rate wouldn’t been been 250 knots or so. Trump is premature to blame EDI and the Democrats are premature to blame a 9 day executive.

I have not seen anyone blaming Trump for anything other than his case of foot in mouth, which he deserves blame for. The accident certainly was not Trump's fault, his statements and premature rush to judgement though are all on him. | |||

Things I wonder about. What role did the helicopter pilots using night vision googles play operating in an area that is heavily lit? Why in the world would you be doing proficiency training anywhere near an airport like Reagan much less anywhere near the approach patterns at the airport? The only thing I see Trump being blamed for is a boner of a press conference where once again his stream of consciousness thought pattern rises up to bite him in the ass. Mike | |||

The Impeach Trump (Occupy Democrats abandoned BLM sites) does blame Trump.

Well he was the one who said he’d end the war in 24 hrs, no one forced him to say that. If he’s stupid enough to make that kind of statement how can you expect us not to point out the utter stupidity of doing so? | |||

Yet the copter pilot's instruments should have told the pilot that they were 100 feet too high in altitude. I'll pull a trumpie and say the copter pilot was suicidal. Give me a home where the buffalo roam and I'll show you a house full of buffalo shit. | |||

Steve, Please go back and read the 1st post, as usual with SS he blames Trump for anything wrong in this world. | |||

True enough, that is not a rational post by the OP. I'm am not a Trump fan on any level but the accident certainly was not his fault, that is a ridiculous position to take. | |||

Re blaming, it's more disgusting than that. In that news conference Trump actually did a lot of blaming, as usual without evidence. Mostly that's the issue. Anyway, here is an interesting assessment based in facts: https://youtu.be/vlbs1F-L_58?si=XZiuaChT7HqrMQqP How Americans ended up without an FAA administrator as Trump came into office ************* Degenerate 1:1 1 Then Trump said, "Let Us re-make a Nation in MY Image, after My likeness, to rule over everything in the Nation, and over all the earth itself and every creature that crawls upon it".
