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.

The guy from The Apprentice, who hired a Fox weekend host to run the Pentagon and a cast member from the Real World to run the FAA (the two agencies associated with the incident) says the real cause of a deadly plain crash is DEI.

I don't think MAGA or Donald Trump can claim Sam Lilley, one of the pilots of the American Airlines plane that crashed with the Army Black Hawk helicopter, is a DEI hire. Him and his family deserve better.

OK, you can't have it both ways, Donald. You can't stupidly brag about how you ended DEI to bring back safety at the FAA and then stupidly blame DEI the first time there is a crash on your watch.

Fascist incompetency in 5 easy steps. 1) Trump freezes hiring of Air Traffic Controllers 2) Trump fires director of FAA. 3) Trump cuts $16 billion from transportation budget. 4) 1st US plane crash in 16 years occurs. 5) Trump: "I blame my predecessor!"

all I know is that had President Biden forced out the FAA chief under pressure from his top adviser and his corrupt motives, and then the next week there was a plane crash that killed more than 60 people, Republicans would be howling that it was an impeachable offense.

We did not have a FAA administrator to respond to the tragic crash last night in DC. Why? Because Elon Musk pushed the head appointed under Biden to resign after he fined SpaceX for failing to follow safety license requirements. www.theverge.com/news/603113/...

Bodies are still being pulled from the Potomac. The President and extreme MAGA Republicans are blaming women and people of color for the deadly plane crash. At the same time, they are dismantling the Federal Aviation Administration as we know it. Disgusting.

Donold is blaming a plane crash that killed 67 people on “DEI” with zero evidence. He is attempting to use racism to deflect from the fact it is HIS fault. He had just removed 100 FAA senior officials. It’s been 11 days and there are 67 bodies in the Potomac in Washington DC because of him.

The FAA has revealed that control tower staffing was “not normal for the time of day and volume of traffic.”

🛬UPDATE—Airport control tower was understaffed at time of DCA airport crash—one controller was working 2 different tower positions, normally done by 2 people—which FAA memo says was “not normal for the time of day and volume of traffic”. ➡️We should not downsize the FAA

Trump said 67 people died in a plane crash because not enough white people work at the FAA. Remember, this is the guy corporate America lined up behind.
