Two airliners abandoned landing attempts at Washington’s Reagan National Airport on Thursday afternoon when an Army Black Hawk took a “scenic route” near the flight path and circled the Pentagon before landing at a military heliport.

Thanks for this reminder.
At least the Captain showed a level of empathy towards Japanese culture with his lifetime of apology. Can you imagine something like that happening today?
Where the HELL is Transportation Secretary Dean Duffy? Is he dancing nude in front of his hotel room window again? Is he lumberjacking(off)? What's the deal, Sean? What are you doing to earn your bloated taxpayer-funded paycheck & benefits?
British - they could also try the answer given by Private Eye magazine to a retail credit manager named James Arkell when he tried to sue them for libel.
The case is Arkell v Pressdram - google it and you should find details of their reply to Arkell's solicitors.
Thank you INEPT, IRRESPONSIBLE, ILLEGITIMATE POTUS Trump for making Air travel so damn UNSAFE now because of totally IRRESPONSIBLE Reductions in Air Traffic Controllers!
Just hope some of those Air traffic Controllers are not in their respective positions when you have to travel on Air Force 1! 😡

So it's not safe to travel *to* the US, also not safe to travel *in* the US.
Is this what they meant by make America great? That was snark bc they really just wanted chaos? I hafta admit, a sarcastic slogan is pretty original, guess that's why they won.
It was a black hawk that crashed into a passenger flight over the Potomac s few days after inauguration. Sounds like in both incidences, the black hawks were not flying in accordance with air traffic guidelines. I wouldn’t be surprised if both flights were simply “joy riding” for VIPs.
I just did more research. While the jury is still out on this week’s Black Hawk near-misses at Reagan, the January Potomac crashes may have been a combination of pilot error and communications failures. Although even with communications failure, the Black Hawk was where it should not have been.
There's already been 1 crash with multiple deaths and no survivors, swift deftly placed blame on ' DEI hires ', most any past problem they could find, made up or real, accepting none of their own, yet the safety threat still exists. Gross negligence, mismanagement, and incompetence.

Sure, let's downsize government & save money. We know MuskRAT & tRUMP don't give a rat's ass about DEI. (Insult to rodentia 🐀🐭, sorry)
Fire all of the traffic controllers, take down all radar support and then tRUMP, MuskRAT & all of his evil minions can board the next flight. Have a great flight
Wild how if you fly anything without explicit clearance in NYC airspace the military will send out fighter jets to track you, but apparently all you need to take laps in DC is a military asset. I’m sure enemies of the US are taking note
I'm beginning to believe these "accidents" or "near miss accidents" may be intentional, considering their frequency. Whether true or not, the occurrences are disturbing.
That's a good point — it seems like there's a pattern of questionable judgment in flight coordination under his watch. Situational awareness in such sensitive airspace should be non-negotiable
Yeah that's good old hedgehog he's got great planning he has no freaking clue what he's doing the pentagon's getting pretty sick of it he needs to go before thousands of military personnel get killed it's only a matter of time
Is this common? Cause i dont remember hearing any shit like this happening ALL THE TIME.
I guess this is what you get when you combine a Fox News host and a dude from the REAL WORLD.

Air travel is not safe under the 🍊💩, Duffy, & Elmo’s DOGE. Staggering incompetence. Smart people don’t fuck with a critical system & workforce that endangers people’s lives. Layoffs & trying to change systems at the same time is, as expected, disastrous.

It's happening often enough that it should have a name. 🤷🏼♂️

I'm keeping my feet on the ground forever.
We're waiting for another collision to fix this?

Should we assumed you mean woman? And that you also insinuate this woman was unqualified simply because she was a woman?
And yes Lobach was a woman.

For God Sakes!!!
Your Kids are showing off and need to get grounded before they Kill People!
Stupid helicopters need to stop this scenic tour crap
Exemplary discipline at the Pentagon.
Odessa. Ukraine.
How many more fuck ups have happened that we just didn't hear about?
whenever I hear about musk and the FAA, I think about the people who burned to death in their self driving Teslas after a crash.
Fire all of the traffic controllers, take down all radar support and then tRUMP, MuskRAT & all of his evil minions can board the next flight. Have a great flight
Joy flights.
That impact on civilian safety.
Marvellous
🤮🤮🤮
these people are so fucking careless.....
Keep this up and there might be an accident!
Luckily it wasn't at night!!
No problem with ATC - they’re so busy that they’re not allowed to speak to the press or even to the FAA.
