Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy described communication between ATC and the airplane as "standard" and confirmed the helicopter knew there was a plane in the area, during a press conference Thursday morning.

I don't trust this Administration. Did they get rid of some regulations or Federal Air traffic controllers whom they didn't like? This Adm is trying to decrease the amount of federal employees. It wouldn't surprise me if they cut qualified ppl from the FAA as well.
This instills zero confidence and I’ll probably just drive instead of fly for the next four years since these people clearly have no idea what they are doing or have any respect for the workforce that does.
It doesn’t matter who his wife is or how they met. Let’s not stoop to MAGA level attacks. We can be pissed about these asinine cabinet appointees on their own merits.
When CHAOS is your leadership style, CHAOS ensues.
Kansas Senators Moran and Marshall voted for this chaos and confirmed Fox News hosts as Secretaries of Transportation and Defense. One a former MTV Road Rules personality and the other a history of assaulting women.
This man is so CLEARLY in over his head. Hard to watch. The truly unfortunate thing is that when shit goes south it's important to have SOME level of trust in what you're being told. I see a lot of "Don't believe what you see - believe what I tell you" coming at us.
You all are doing a terrible job at showing how unprepared Trump’s team was. This is a tragedy and @mika-brzezinski.bsky.social is placating Trump by not asking the whys. Oh, chunks of ice floating vs where was Hegseth at this briefing. Keep it up. We need better. You have a responsibility.
Clearly something went wrong so while things normally go well in this airspace, for the 67 lost souls, blame won’t bring them back. I well recall the last aircraft that went down in the Potomac as my sister was indirectly affected by that crash. It’s quite sad.
Blame won’t bring them back, but identifying why it happened could prevent future incidents. Btw, Reagan had also fired employees responsible for safety just prior to the last crash in the Potomac.
DEMOCRATS; Get Schumer off his ass (he's so lackadaisical about the ongoing coup, almost as if he's protecting Netanyahu), get Jeffries off his ass and fight this Trump takeover. Hitler dismantled the German government in 53 days...
Is there some reason nobody is PUBLICLY STATING the
cuts the Trump Regime has made in the last week to the
pertinent departments? DO YOUR GD JOBS PRESS OR GET OUT.

Trump picks idiots from Fox News for his cabinet positions. He must have caught his wife on Fox News and decided he would make a good cabinet pick
He has zero qualifications. And said “obviously it’s not standard for planes to collide” which is the STUPIDEST thing I have heard.

Incompetence breeds CHAOS.
