A DC airport, no survivors, it sounds like 3 chopper crew and about 70 passengers and crew.
We all mourn such a tragedy.
Trump gave condolences but then goes into a scree blame game, Democrats, DEI, former head of transportation, changes in FAA laws when checked out came during HIS administration last time.
They hadn't even recovered the black boxes and he starts blaming EVERYONE on his former hit list.
There is a shortage of air traffic controllers and there usually would have been 2 people at the helm that day but because of hiring freezes put out by Trump no new ATC folks even COULD be hired if the DID find qualified help.
So like the assshole he really is, sticks his ugly nose into it before even an investigation starts.
Smooth move ASSSHOLE. Time for that traitor to retire and watch over his stolen TS docs at Mar A Lago.

@Earl-of-Trumps saidLike when you mean TRUMP froze FAA and ATC hiring on DAY FUUKING ONE of his so called administration?
some doosh on CNN blamed Trump.
"Oh but that's different, EoT"
Or blaming DEI when 94% of FAA AND PILOTS AND AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS ARE WHITE?
So political grandstanding is just FINE with you.
NO PRESIDENT BEFORE TRUMP EVER DID THIS KIND OF CRAP BEFORE
Before even the NTSB who are the people investigating crashes like this even pulled the bodies out the water?
So political grandstanding is the new normal for you?
I can fuuking guaruntee that is NOT normal to REAL people.
Anyone who thinks otherwise is fuuking CRAZY.
@Earl-of-Trumps saidLooks like an act of terrorism. That chopper when straight for the plane. Not an accident.

DEI, or, meritocracy.?
Which program, which concept, should the United States adopt?
@Earl-of-Trumps saidHas to be terrorists. There is no mistake there. A commercial plane on the landing path a minute or two prior to landing, gets a direct hit from behind by a military helicopter, cannot be a mistake.
It very well could be, as far as I am concerned.
we'll see what develops in the days ahead.
@AverageJoe1 saidWe are not talking the merits of DEI or whatever, we are talking about the utter fuuking LIES Trump pukes out every time he talks.
Clear your air, please?

Come on, DEI caused the crash when 94 FUUKING percent there are WHITE?
Exactly how does that segue into what is better DEI or Competence?
@Earl-of-Trumps saidA "doosh" on CNN whom you can't even name is not the President of the United States. There is indeed a world of difference, and your false equivalency is laughably absurd whataboutism. Not to mention pathetic.

@Rajk999 saidUh huh. Yeah, you know everything. May as well not bother with an investigation then.

Thank you for demonstrating in stark terms just how weak-minded a fool you really are.
There is no shortage of better targets in the area to crash a military helicopter into than a jet descending at 150 mph.
@Soothfast saidThis is going to turn out to be a clear case of terrorism and chances are good that it is at the hands of Islam. According the logs of the conversation between the tower and the helicopter:

Tower- "Do you see the airliner?"
Pilot - "Yes"
Then proceeded to fly straight into it.
For an American you are shameless. All you stupid Americans do here is create division and hatred between Democrats and Republican, while the world laughs. The terrorists in particular are laughing, at how you are quick to blame Trump for firing some ATC as if that has anything to do with the pilot flying deliberately into a commercial plane. .. you damn moron.
