Holy shit he actually blamed DEI.

Trump Blames D.E.I. and Biden for Crash Under His Watch

President Trump’s remarks, suggesting that diversity in hiring and other Biden administration policies somehow caused the disaster, reflected his instinct to immediately frame major events through his political or ideological lens.

17 year old black girl becomes one of the youngest licensed pilots. She has a bright future ahead of her unless Trump trashes it with all his DEI bullshit. Racist fuck!

Well it certainly not Trump administrations fault all the accidents happened with no FAA chief. The message is/will be, this is because Biden trashed the FAA with DEI policies, and the pigs will just lap it up.

My brother is a DC firefighter but he did not have to go to the accident, he works about 3 miles from where it crashed. He was also on shift the following day after it happened so he wasn't there.

He did tell me though that he heard some stories from the fire fighters that did go there and that it was not good. He said it was not much of a body recovery but more of a body part recovery. He had heard that they only found a handful of fully intact bodies. But mainly they were pulling body parts out of the wreckage.

Keep in mind this is completely unofficial and just a theory, but from the people on the ground there they think that many of the passengers actually died from the blades of the helicopter cutting through the fuselage and chopping them up into pieces. I don't know the physics of that or anything but that is their theory based on how the parts were found.

He also told me a story where a firefighter or cop found a child and was doing CPR on the kid for 5-10 seconds before another person came over and notified the guy that it was just the torso and the kid had no lower half of the body attached.

He told me that many people are doing PTSD from the scene and that he was glad he was not asked to go and if he was, he doesn't know if he would have gone after he had heard some of the stories coming out of there.

While I won't discount it entirely, it's not really necessary. Not to be too grim, but human bodies do not stay in one piece when subjected to high g loads and high mass physical impacts, and the weakest points in our bodies from that kind of strain are the joints.

I do not envy anyone who has to respond to aircraft accidents, they are grim.

Yeah I said the same thing to him and he agreed too, but he also wasn't there and didn't see it himself. From what he was saying though was that some people who were helping with recovery had also helped recover other disasters where bodies were in explosions, and that this was not quite the same. He made it sound like guys were talking about clean "slices" rather than what you would expect from a body going through an explosion of some sorts.

Again, it's just words being spread from word of mouth of what people were saying on the ground there, so take it with a grain of salt, but it is what was being talked about.

While I do think the government needed to be downsized, firing people willy nilly is just stupid. Elon did it at at Twitter and it was a fiasco.

Ironically, this was Canada, not America. So I guess Elon must have fired some Canadians too. :eek:

Of a US carrier flight that originated at a US airport and would have spent the majority of the journey under (now reduced) US ATC.

Let's wait to see what the initial evidence shows, but this many incidents in such a short period of time immediately after "willy nilly" changes are made sure would be one hell of a coincidence.

That's not how you fight MAGA and you know that.
Rip and Tear. There is no story too fancy, no fact too fictitious. There is a goal and tools to see it done. We fight fire with fire. One religion begets another.

Trump is destroying the Federal Government, including the FAA. Now we lose aircraft left and right. Planes are falling out of the sky. That's all people need to know. That's all we need to push.

Attacking anyone and everyone who isn't an Aryan White Male.
What was it we called that in the 1930s and 1940s?

Two dead after small planes collide mid-air near Marana airport in Arizona, officials say

Again?
Is this a new trend, or is it simply being reported?
I feel like small planes are a common occurrence. Airliners not so much....
