Air Traffic Controller President Defends Members


Learn more about Captain Rebecca Lobach and others lost in the deadly crash



This video features insights from Nick Daniels, President of the National Air Traffic Controllers Association, who defends the skills of air traffic controllers and addresses concerns about potential staffing shortages and their implications for air safety. His comments were in response to a Black Hawk helicopter that collided with an American Airlines-affiliated flight above the Potomac River this week, killing 67 people.

The video also highlights the ongoing investigation into the crash, which includes reviewing the black boxes from both aircraft, and addresses controversial comments made by former President Donald Trump, who suggested that diversity hiring practices may have contributed to the incident.

We also included clips of emotional interviews with family members and friends of the victims, particularly focusing on Captain Rebecca Lobach, one of the helicopter's pilots.
