Two American Airlines jets, including one carrying at least six members of Congress from New York and New Jersey, clipped wings on a taxiway at Ronald Reagan National Airport in Washington on Thursday, officials said.

The train from Wilmington Delaware to DC is far easier than driving to PHL or BAL (if there are even flights out of BAL) and catching a flight to DCA. The frequency is far greater and you can relax.
This is absolutely stunning! The way you've captured the light and shadow is just breathtaking. 朗 I'm completely in awe of your talent and the emotion this piece evokes. ✨
I’m waiting for the day when I hear the headline-
Air Force One down
All passengers presumed dead.
On board 45, fElon, JD Vance, Don Jr, Eric Jr, etc
The pilots escaped with a few scrapes
🚨BREAKING: LIVE FOOTAGE OF THE HELICOPTER CRASH TODAY😢
All 6 people in the helicopter that crashed into New York’s Hudson River have died. A Spanish family of three children and two adults were killed along with the pilot.

🚨 #BREAKING: Two American Airlines planes just clipped wings at Reagan National Airport with several Congressmen on board
What the hell is going on at DCA? This is the same airport where a Blackhawk crashed into American Airlines plane, kiIIing 60+ https://youtu.be/qd6eKXaqhwo
Someone in my Pentagon office died on the Memorial Bridge that day. We were AF officers and they let people home early who had longer commutes due to the storm.
How many near misses, flipped over planes, actual crashes & ppl dying have to occur before ppl demand safe AirTravel & full staffing at FAA?
And Musk should not be near any Airports!! Ya know since his crap keeps falling out of the sky!!
Should be actual Experienced ppl not Hegseth frat brother
This is kind of shit that happens when you put a jackass in charge who takes the word of a drug addicted asshat that cuts the jobs of the air traffic controllers! They both need to be held responsible!
I wonder how short staffed the tower is. This is the same situation causing the crash. There’s usually at least one controller dedicated to ground & nearby non airliner traffic. In a busy large airport, more means safety. Replacing the wingtips would easily pay the yearly salary of a controller.

bahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaI hope they were scared shitless and it makes them decent fucking human beings when they survived. This is what the consequences of hiring unqualified idiots. The entire MTO needs to go.
Only place I've seen Duffy pushing back is on Fox.
Pushing his lies about Dems.
Can you give me one instance where he has physically shown up for any of the accidents, especially where people died?
If this happened under Biden’s watch the media and especially the nytimes would be calling for Buttigieg’s head and saying it’s because Biden has dementia. But since it’s Trump it’s just a tragic accident.
Oh we care. We’re hoping there are as many as possible on the planes. (Maybe someone should plan a far away field trip for the entire senate and the house. On the same plane, ideally an old Aeroflot Russian reject.)
“The OR of car crashes associated with COVID-19 was comparable to driving under the influence of alcohol at legal limits or driving with a seizure disorder.”
What is the very qualified reality tv star doing about this? Oh wait I forgot his boss is also a very qualified reality tv star so-nothing. Only in Amerikka
Maybe NOW Congress will finally realize that cutting funding and firing folks from the Dept. of Transportation isn't working out and maybe they should, you know, not let randos make these cuts. 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣 *Wipes hysterical tears from eyes*
Simple solution, CLOSE THAT AIRPORT!
That was the plan when Dulles opened.
But the port congress did not want to travel that far to catch their planes!..
Hello CONGRESS, built more mass transit connections to airports!
For those on here that have flown out of DCA it’s not much of a surprise that this happened. There is way too much traffic at that airport and it needs to reduce the traffic levels to operate safely.
Members of Congress should think about who they work for. Trump's entire unqualified Administration should be recalled. Inexcusable incompetence under the Trump Administration's watch.
Here’s a few. Reps. Nick LaLota, R-New York; Josh Gottheimer, D-New Jersey; and Grace Meng, D-New York said on X they were on the plane that was hit, but were OK
What did DEI and Joe Biden do THIS time? Oh, Sean Duffy, I hope that, after you explain their complicity in the helicopter crash in New York City, you will set the record straight and explain their complicity in this incident! People want answers…even if you make it up out of your ass!
The people this country puts in charge of critical things under this new regime, fuckin DOGe and his dorky band of totally unqualified idiots firing everyone with qualifications to try and pretend their trash AI can fix anything, these types of things are going to be commonplace without real adults
Sometimes, if you try to access those articles outside of a social media platform, they’re available for free or you can just find the story from another outlet. When it’s pertinent to our safety or what’s happening in our gov rn, it irks me as well. Like, dude…
Sometimes I hate when the press pays its reporters and lawyers to get important information every day about national news but people complain (it’s not just you - and subscriptions are about $2 fwiw)
Maybe airlines should have the proximity detection sensors on the wings of their aircraft. That will sound like the alarm, if the wings come closer than 3 feet to any objects.
A few days ago, MTV Boy was on one of the RWNJ shows lamenting about shower heads & dishwashers, a real vexing issue on the forefront of every citizen’s mind 🙄. /s. I’m sure Duffy will get right on aircraft safety as soon as he has a solution for pre-wash rinsing of dishes.
Members of congress were on board? I hope they were Republicans, because as everyone knows, Republicans won't do anything about a problem until it directly impacts them.

Is it safe to fly anywhere in the US these days??
human beings that we need to worry about
from the BBC article:
"Nick LaLota, a New York Republican, said no-one was hurt when the wing of their stationary plane was "bumped" by another jet."

Love your spirit!
before people demand the FAA AND A Transportation Secretary that is competent

Do people walk into the terminal with wallets full of money, only to leave with their wealth trickling down out of their pockets?
The new name, Air Tran, did mean there were changes in safety, just luck.
Collateral damage as they say
Why not us 🤷
And Musk should not be near any Airports!! Ya know since his crap keeps falling out of the sky!!

.. asking for a friend.
Flying is like playing roulette now.
