I'm gonna throw out the wild guess that the desperate search for survivors of a mid air plane collision isn't going to go well. Was this some secret helicopter that was trying to sneak in without communicating with commercial airlines? How does that even happen?

It was a priority transport blackhawk helicopter used to transport a General or high level officials. But looked like it was on a return trip. The way people are talking sounds like the helicopter at fault Tammy Duckworth said the Blackhawk likely had no officials on board because there was only one Blackhawk in the air. Says someone of significant would have had two Blackhawks not one. I guess the American Airlines had around 60 passengers on board an 4 personal.

Lol, thanks a lot, Grumph, this would have never happened if they had more patdowns on the blackhawk helicopters.

Without wasting my time reading that link, im going with the former.

Tim Kane and Mark Warner both Democrats warned against increasing flights. I got this from reading the text on the link. Pretty clear what was warned. I did not read the story just know both Senators likely had use these priority transports.transport.

There is reports there was 3 passengers on the Blackhawk.

Definitely DEI and not the Republicans forcing a compromise on increasing air traffic into DC over the opposition of local politicians last year.

Must have been a DEI hire.

What a shit response to a tragic mistake. Same for everyone trying to politicize everything.

Anyway, RIP to those who lost their lives. Very sad.

you sure it was a DEI pilot? it could have been an illegal mexican. or a haitian, a tranny, a black guy, or one of hunter biden's ho's. or perhaps the pilot had information that would lead to hillary clinton's arrest. i don't know but without any supporting evidence i'm just going to have to conclude that it was definately somebody that we don't like at fault here. that part is clear.

All I know is every plane crash, car crash is Trumps fault.

Wonder why a freak accident with no connection to politics or government is immediately put in the war room?

Democrats predictably exploiting it immediately.

“Hey! We haven’t gotten a win in months…it looks like a bunch of people died..and Trump fired some useless bureaucrat! It’s Trump’s fault”
