#ATC 2X alerted the #Army helicopter to the presence of an inbound #AmericanAirlines jet, w/the first warning issued 2 mins before the aircraft collided Wed near #ReaganNationalAirport, radio transmissions show.
Aviation experts who reviewed the comms said that a member of the #BlackHawk helo crew responded each time by saying that he could see the plane & requested “visual separation,” meaning the helo would maintain a safe distance. Each time, the request was approved.https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/2025/01/31/audio-air-traffic-control-dc-plane-crash/

Army IDs 2 names of the #BlackHawk #helicopter crew in DC #crash withholds 1
The Govs of GA & MS have identified 2 of the BlackHawk helicopter crew killed in a collision w/ #AA5342 at #ReaganNationalAirport on Wed night. They are Chief Warrant Officer Andrew Eaves, & Staff Sgt Ryan O'Hara.
At the request of the family the #Army is not going to release the name of the female member of the 3-person helicopter crew.

@parkermolloy.com #TrumpDidThis , he allowed #ElonMusk to force out the #FAA Chief on #Day1 of #AmericanCarnage2.0 with no replacement until AFTER the #ReaganNationalAirport midair crash. https://nypost.com/2025/01/30/us-news/elon-musk-bumped-faa-chief-from-post-by-10-days-before-dc-plane-helicopter-crash/

Just 24 hours before the collision of American Eagle Flight #AA5342 & an Army #BlackHawk #helicopter near #ReaganNationalAirport on Wednesday, another jet trying to land there had to make a second approach after a helicopter appeared near its flight path, according to an audio recording from #ATC.
That plane, Republic Airways Flight 4514, eventually landed safely, flight tracker maps show. -
There was nobody leading the #FAA when the #Army #helicopter and #AmericanAirlines plane collided while approaching #ReaganNationalAirport because #ElonMusk fired the previous one on #Day1 of #AmericanCarnage2.0, aka #Inauguration Day. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/elon-musk-faa-administrator-quit-spacex_n_679bb63de4b07c3c821966b2

Holy crap! Asked by a reporter how, before the investigation has concluded, #Trump can conclude that #diversity was to blame for the #crash.
His response: “Because I have common sense.”

Revolting pig
#Trump is now speaking about the #AmericanAirlines crash. It is his first appearance in the briefing room since his White House return.
He immediately goes from *mourning* the victims to political attacks. He assails fmr Transportation Sec Pete Buttigieg as “a disaster,” blaming him for #diversity objectives at the FAA. The inference is that diversity = incompetence.

You cannot always stay on your feet
Not even if you are a Senator, complete
A stumble at the airport, an awkward fall
A stumble now and there, no cause for allThe world is full of stumbles, for all of us to thrall
But thankfully you weren't hurt, nothing for us to appraise
We wish you luck as you continue your criss-cross of places#mitchmcconnell #falls #reagannationalairport #dc #ode #poetry
