The DC control tower was understaffed. There was only one controller, controlling both helicopters and planes. Those are supposed to be separate jobs.
We need to investigate whether Donald Trump's hiring freeze last week played a role.

He has this simple-minded notion that *fewer* employee are always better. Probably because he assumes they are all as incompetent as he is.
Pretty well documented, and we have left him to his results.

The FAA estimates that in the next 10 years, there will be 1,000 fewer fully certified air traffic controllers than today.
But Donnie Do-Do Dumb Dumb has got to blame someone, otherwise people might think it's his fault.
When an emergency strikes, think of your own image, eh, Don?
It’s not their fault. Our terrible “leader” did this. He is inept. He has no business leading anything.
Investigating…
Investigating…
Investigating…
Yes it was
Hahahahah.
What good can it possibly do to investigate the old felon, when the world knows he's untouchable in the U.S.

The only real solution seems to be to make the airspace less busy or complex, but good luck with that.

Me 4 years State Gov, transitioned to Fed as law clerk at first, 17 years there.
Too bad I’m only 39, no pension anytime soon. Maybe they’ll get rid of it?
Give me my buyout and I”ll be in another country shortly afterwards.
First four years were bad enough - this is insanity. Guess plan is keep IQ45 in court for term 2 - that plus obstruct, “make him a one term president” sounds good.
I’m not making a point about your emails. The Felon said he got rid of DEI.
A week later, a deadly crash.
Guess we need to get DEI back.
Elonia fired the FAA administrator for threatening to fine Spacex

San Carlos airport (SQL) 20 miles south of downtown San Francisco will be going ATC Zero starting Saturday. ATC Zero is an official term that means the FAA is unable to safely provide the published ATC services within the airspace managed by a specific facility.
They need to do a nation wide shut down and give the Orange Wanker the one finger salute.
I’m afraid all the investigators are going to be people who know they’re fvcked if they tell the truth
Big D Democratic leadership will just take the high road and pay themselves on the back and claim the country is in God's hands.
We are on our own.
Are any independent investigators left?
That said, I’m certain that DEI had nothing to do with the accident.
We crave instant answers to explain such tragedy, but the data takes weeks to analyze & premature uninformed speculation can draw the investigation into blind alleys.
This level of corruption should have every Americans attention. This is unacceptable & this compliance BS is disturbing AF
Trump is supposed to be the President of the United States of America, and not the golf-addicted orange toddler with access to nuclear codes.
This rests firmly on his shoulders, as he is responsible for this tragedy.

Pretty much since Regan fired all the striking ATCs.
Both are daddy-boys
This just @ day 10 !
One ATC for a busy airport was gross negligence on Trump’s administration.
We always knew that his incompetence would get innocent people killed

Remember, you can go here to bug these senators and Congress people and representatives. Ask them why they don't have. You don't have health care. Ask them why they don't have a soul. Ask them why they're not doing their job. Please bug them for a change
People need to see this.
