• The President asked in a Truth Social post why the pilot and air traffic controllers didn’t get the helicopter out of the way: “This is a bad situation that looks like it should have been prevented.”

President Donald Trump questioned the actions of the military helicopter pilot and air traffic controllers after an Army Black Hawk and an American Airlines jet carrying 64 collided over the Potomac River near Washington, D.C.

There have been multiple fatalities in the crash, though the final number is not yet known as rescue and recovery efforts are continuing. No survivors had been found as of early morning in Washington, while D.C. Mayor Muriel E. Bowser said bodies had been recovered from both aircraft.

1. Big fat know-it-all has to act like he knows what happened instead of doing the normal thing,

which would be to offer condolences to families, and state that the cause of the accident is unknown at this point and is being investigated by the NTSB.

5. The Orange Menace is the all knowing and all telling,...

.... Unitary Monarch who was given mandate to chart a better course for AmeriKKKa.

Please do not degrade, disparage, or demean his best efforts as he rules over us.

2. With his brilliant mind, he'll probably fire all the Air Traffic Controllers.

3. He should question the military on why it happened.

a training flight at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling its where Marine 1 flys from. It directly across from Washington National Airport. Naming it Reagan National doesn't help.

7. I Heard It Was Out of Ft. Belvoir

Rather than JBAB. A JBAB pilot would know more about the complex airspace around DCA than someone out of Belvoir.

4. And he would know all this

Exactly HOW?
