"The military does dangerous things" around commercial airliners? Over populated airports?!
Remember the navy boats crashing , we'll the boat was on auto pilot and everybody was partying , i wonder if it's similar
We will know once we hear the black box. My heart goes out to all that we're killed and their families during this time. As old flight attendant I pray they felt no pain.
JANUARY 20- Trump fires the head of the Federal Aviation Administration, the department in charge of flight safety
JANUARY 21 - Trump freezes hiring for Air Traffic Controllers
JANUARY 22 - Trump disbands the Aviation Safety Advisory Committee
JANUARY 28 - Trump sends out a buyout/retirement demand to existing employees, removing experienced safety staff
JANUARY 29 - First American mid-air collision in 16 years
TRUMP DID THIS.
🤦🏻♀️
I agree, DJT is America's worst nightmare since McCarthy. WTF are we going to be subjected to far the next 4 years?
BS
@vernpierce8836 Look it up.
Yes indeed he did do this.
Trump has a lot of blood on his hands.
Starting with the 5 men that die on January 6th at the capitol.
And now this.
We the people are going to have to get together and demand for trump impeachment. Because this is not going to get better 😔
This election was rigged. I truly believe it was rigged by Elon musk and orange face knew it.
“The crash is the deadliest air disaster in the United States since November of 2001”? Ffs
Disgusting press conference by Trump.
As a Republican I was strongly disappointed by it.
@ Honest question: do you expect anything different from Trump? To me, this seems par for the course for him.
Lots of TDS here!
Truth hurts sometimes.
On Donald Trump's 2nd day he fired the head of the Transportation Security Administration, fired the entire Aviation Security Advisory Committee, froze hiring of all Air Traffic Controllers and fired the 100 top FAA security officers.
@@ericrolph yeah i guess they would have hired 1000 people by now huh. In a week lmao. You realize it takes 3 months to get hired. He didnt affect this
No he fired bad apples leading this country to garbage.
I'm waiting to find out this was all based/started by an edict of his in his we, whiney hours...
None of those had any effect on this incident. The TSA and adjacent security positions dont have anything to do with flight pathing. You also dont train ATCs in 8 days.
@@nickxcaliber7991 Hired and trained expert ATCs in 8 days lmao.
Jan 20th: FAA Director was fired.
Jan 21st: Air traffic controller hiring frozen.
Jan 22nd: Aviation safety advisory committee disbanded.
Jan 28th: Buyout/retirement demand sent to existing employees.
When I contacted FAA about low flying planes over my home and street they did nothing. I sent them a trove of videos showing the planes flying under the 500ft Rural height regulations some at treetop level. (Urban is 1000ft. ) The agent said it was ok and sent me on my way. They (FAA) are the ones who should be held accountable for this tradegy.
With the safety director of FAA forced to resign, the persons who forced the loss of safety personnel is to blame.
January 20th -FAA director fired January 21st Air Traffic control hiring frozen.
January 22nd -Aviation safety advisory committee disbanded January 28th- buyout retirement demand sent to current employees
January 29th -first American mid-air Collision in 16 years January 30th -Trump blames crash on DEI
-giraffe crab
Did he seriously blame DEI for this crash? I actually think I’m living in idiocracy now with this insane orange blob of a human in charge of the country I live in. Ew.
@@Jtstien yes. DEI has put unqualified people in positions. Example: if DEI puts an unqualified commander on a battle field and the unit dies, that is DEI to blame.
@ Does DEI extend to orange people? Because that would explain a lot. Especially with how particularly orange he's looking lately...
Lot of TDS!😂
@@slimero3039Not how DEI works plus as a leader it’s horrible to make such a baseless claims. If he said this after all the facts were out sure, but to jump on a theory with 0 evidence is insane
1:34 Hey Hegseth, why is a Blackhawk flying by night vision "on a dangerous mission" by a D.C airport?
@@auntiepha8343 You think he follows every single qualification or flight every squadron does in all the DoD? You need to ask the squadron of that Blackhawk what they were doing and not him.
What about the air traffic controllers? Question what were they doing?
@@mkirkman89 It's literally his job to know these things. That's why he was up on that stage, addressing the nation.
@@_zoid Wrong. It's his job to address the nation when the facts are known about the situation. Those situational reports get reported to him from the commands, and that is how he will know.
@ Shut up.
RIP! A terrible accident.
Can we just skip to 2026.
A military airplane should not even be close to commercial airports. It always take a tragedy to change anything.
I blame MAGA voters...
you're an idiot.
@@guymartinez4394 Shocker!
rage bait
@guymartinez4394 Not me, I blame the ones they call WOKE (such a bad term for these people, brain dead would be more appropriate) for hiring race, gender, etc over compontance.
Most idiot's do
Trumps fault.
?
How does that even happen
I wonder what important people were on that plane.
Glad to see agencies owning up to their mistakes. Sad for the families.
this administration is off to a legendary start
We had 4 years of Biden that did absolutely nothing. Trump and SECDEF cant track every single thing that every Helo does in the military. You think you can follow all the aircraft the military has?
Jan 20th: FAA Director was fired.
Jan 21st: Air traffic controller hiring frozen.
Jan 22nd: Aviation safety advisory committee disbanded.
Jan 28th: Buyout/retirement demand sent to existing employees.
MUSIC VIDEO OUT NOW
My heart and prayers go out to the those who lost their lives. May their souls find their path to the Creator and Rest in Peace.
May their living Families be strong in this hard time and remain in Righteousness overall!
All Praises to thē Most High! 🙏🏾
Plane crash in DC possible remote control.
Evidence:
BOOM! PRIMARY EVIDENCE TO LOOK AT BEFORE SECONDARY EVIDENCE BELOW: PAT stands for Priority Air Transport, which is reserved for senior military and VIP personnel only. The Helicopter was PAT-25. That means it was a VIP chopper (the type you often see the president getting into, a sort of helicopter version of Air Force One), and stories about it carrying 3 ordinary soldiers on a training mission HAVE TO BE BULL.
1. The helicopter took off near CIA headquarters and was for transporting VIP's Rumor has it that it took off from the back yard of a house owned by the Saudi embassy, however, upon looking at things closely there's no accommodations for helicopters there and it is where flight data simply started and might not be where it actually took off. So the Saudi embassy house is inconclusive.
2. Lockheed Martin demonstrated remote control of helicopters 2 weeks before Trump's inauguration
3. It was impossible for the helicopter to not see the plane
4. Even the MSM is saying it looks like the helicopter intentionally swerved into the plane.
My suspicion: The CIA hijacked the helicopter with the same tech used to do 911 and crashed unknown VIP's into a planeload of Russians to kick off memories of 9/11 while creating as much international tension as possible and getting rid of someone who was inconvenient. TRUMP WOULD FLY PAT IF HE NEEDED A HELICOPTER, IT WAS THAT TYPE OF CHOPPER. Only the NSA/CIA would know who was on the plane that the chopper hit, that's an NSA/CIA thing so now we need to know who the hell was on that chopper. It certainly was not military trainees.
This is what they are trying to market the crash as, but the PAT designation means this is not possible.
Someone is trying to blur the lines here, and is not aware of what the number designations are for military aircraft. Therefore, they screwed up and revealed that it was a VIP chopper, which means the "training flight full of rookie soldiers" was automatically debunked by the designation of the chopper, which is now too widely published to rescind.
@@pietrikapoulin2891 daily dose of schizophrenia
VIP copters and crews don’t train?
@@MrFrinZy Only the best veteran pilots fly the PAT service flights. The press has been told to chock this up to being a rookie-mistake.
@@pietrikapoulin2891
Mistakes happen to the best of us. You think it’s impossible that an expert pilot made a mistake, but it’s not impossible that the expert agents of deception did?
If this is all true, then we need to see definitive proof that it was a PAT helo. I dont want to speculate on that until they do their thorough investigation into the facts.
This was planned how does this happen when the radar and flying list is recorded at all times of the day… the real question is what is happening that you need a distraction or also WHO WAS IN THE PLANES
People dont understand that Hegseth has absolutely nothing to do with what the blackhawk did, but you can bet he will find answers and why they thought it was a good idea to conduct flight operations over civilian airspace.
It's on Hegseth's watch! What part don't you understand??!!
@@mkirkman89 But Biden somehow does?
@@rockinshoes1 Does it look like Biden can fly an aircraft? Dumb response.
@auntiepha8343 Just because it's on his watch doesn't mean he tells the Blackhawk how to do their training and operations. Can you tell a pilot how they should fly the aircraft? I doubt it, so your ignorance on how the military works is apparent.
@ Keep licking those boots.
Hangover Pete. Dark glasses would help.
This collision is not because of DEI initiatives. This appears to be deliberate
I think this civilian airport is located in a wrong and dangerous location !😮
AI voice is horrible.
This collision course was very strange , unbelievable and some how a foolish collision . 😮😢
Specially in USA !
Brain fog is a common symptom of COVID-19, both during and after infection. It can cause a variety of cognitive problems, including lack of concentration, reduced thinking ability and speed, forgetfulness, mental fatigue and confusion. Long term Covid patients have reported problems with their eyesight including eye fatigue, changes to vision and even blind spots. When the retina is starved of oxygen due to blood vessels being blocked, breaking, or leaking, this can lead to complications such as damage to your visual field or damage to the sharpness of vision.
So what? Try to follow the ball...
@@Telephonebill51 it’s not outlandish to think the Covid pandemic has had an effect on peoples brains - ever noticed that nothing goes smoothly anymore.
The military and civilians aircraft’s both on routine paths -SOP’ Blackhawk hit civilian aircraft from the side’ military is at fault no doubt about that’ but why ? Night-vision goggles” limited side vision ? and lights 🚥 🛩 on the side of a plane ✈️
news reports are confirming that the pilot was a black lesbian who was on the phone with her girlfriend at the time of the crash
@@jonshneebley playing identity politics in the comments section of such a tragedy is appalling, but better can't be expected from people like you. Andrew Eaves the only currently known pilot on the helicopter is a white straight man.
😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢we goto a. 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
everyone woulda survived if the rock was on the plane. saw it in a movie once.
Why does the "Voice of America" have a foreign accent? Telling, even if it is a programmed artifical voice.
So people with foreign accents can’t live in the US or report on US news 🤷🏻♀️ I think that’s more telling on you if you’re judging someone by their voice
because the US has always been a melting pot that has accepted immigrants in, including white Europeans who were originally immigrants too and not the first here. Read a book maybe!
@@freespirit1975 because the US has always been a melting pot that has accepted immigrants in, including white Europeans who were originally immigrants too and not the first here. Read a book maybe!
I guess the phrase "nation of immigrants" has somehow eluded you.
Get the black box.
Thanks trump 😔
