Airplane / Helicopter Crash
A military helicopter flew into the path of a descending commercial airplane just outside of DC. The helicopter had three people on it; the plane had 64. So far just 4 injured people have been recovered.
This is wholly Trump's fault. Here's the sequence of events:
Trump illegally stopped hiring new air traffic controllers when they were already stretched thin. (Source)
Trump fired the head of the TSA, whose term did not end until 2027. (Source)
Musk successfully pushed the head of the FAA to resign. (Source)
Trump fired all members of the Aviation Security Advisory Committee, which is in charge of investigating safety issues at airports. (Source)
Trump puts a drunkard Fox News host — with white nationalist ties but minimal managerial experience — in charge of the military bureaucracy. (Source)
Tonight, a military helicopter flew somewhere it shouldn't have and our air safety systems — the ones that keep us safe, the ones that Trump have been tearing down — failed to notice or protect the passengers on the plane. Not good!
