Can't wait to turn on The View to see how this is Donald Trump's fault..
HA ALL the leftists are blaming Trump! After all, he didn't hire more air traffic controllers in 10 days! HOW could a ten day hire have prevented this??
They are instead admitting that Biden's FAA is at fault if they blame Trump. HA!
The Washington times had an editorial a year ago blaming Obama for the coming failure of the ATC because he demanded more people of color be hired. Obama said the career was too white (not enough non-whites were passing the stringent tests) and he canceled thousands of eligible applicants. That set the ATC back and they still haven't caught up. They are understaffed and overworked because of it.
FAA turned away qualified air traffic controllers based solely on race
How can a career be "too white"?!? ANYONE is welcome to meet the standards!
Oh I agree 100%.
Rayciss
Obama is rayciss for sure. His actions tell us he thinks black people are too dumb to to be ATC with their own merit.
Yes, and the job is a very high intensity and a high stress position.
Whoopi dropped her sandwich.
The View: Trump's fault!! Impeach!
Lol he fired the AG woman. She was SECRETLY in charge of helicopter flights in DC
I suggest talking to a trusted friend if you hate yourself that much.....
Our President turns the spotlight on specific people. He has recently turned the spotlight on Federal employees. The bad actors are rising to the surface. Refusing to do as his EOs directed. Who’s to say that people who are hard workers, loyal and have confidence in their abilities wouldn’t be called back or reassigned if they don’t take the separation & severance. Life has many twists and turns. President Trump over came the many attacks by the radical left. Many employees couldn’t even show up to work in their office building. Very telling.
Okay, here's a really weird thought but it was the first thing that occurred to me last night:
Apparently the plane was carrying a lot of elite figure skaters, especially junior ones, as well as a Russian skating pair who were there to coach the kids in a high-level training session.
Maybe it was a charter flight. I don't know if there were other members of the public traveling on it as well.
What's the first thing you think of when you think of figure skating?
Ice.
And this flight had many innocent young people on it, some with parents along as chaperones, as well as a married couple from Russia. It was about the most wholesome American group you could find, along with their friends from Russia.
(okay, I'll be right back after I get a extra-strength tinfoil hat)
BH's sending a message? 🤔
Family member Air Traffic Controller. He is top of the line. Sees areas not run well and has been pointing it out. They will have to listen. Thank you, President Trump!
If you can give us his take on this incident, we'd love to hear it.
Me, too...
Me three
POTUS comes into Press Room at 11:21 ET and requests a moment of silence
POTUS exits Press Room at 11:55 ET
Thx J1D. So its over I take it? I'll have to find the recorded version. Curious to hear what he said
You can still use Joy's video link above. Go to about 56:45 for the start.
I'm an idiot. Thought that was the live feed and it was over. thx fren
Don't be so hard on yourself, you are the smartest u/Knew2u I know!

My fellow Americans, over the course of the next several days you will
undoubtedly realize that we are taking back our great country (the land of the
free) from the evil tyrants that wish to do us harm and destroy the last remaining
refuge of shining light. On POTUS’ order, we have initiated certain fail-safes that
shall safeguard the public from the primary fallout which is slated to occur 11.3
upon the arrest announcement of Mr. Podesta (actionable 11.4). Confirmation (to
the public) of what is occurring will then be revealed and will not be openly
accepted. Public riots are being organized in serious numbers in an effort to
prevent the arrest and capture of more senior public officials. On POTUS’ order,
a state of temporary military control will be actioned and special ops carried out.
False leaks have been made to retain several within the confines of the United
States to prevent extradition and special operator necessity. Rest assured, the
safety and well-being of every man, woman, and child of this country is being
exhausted in full. However, the atmosphere within the country will unfortunately
be divided as so many have fallen for the corrupt and evil narrative that has long
been broadcast. We will be initiating the Emergency Broadcast System (EMS)
during this time in an effort to provide a direct message (avoiding the fake news)
to all citizens. Organizations and/or people that wish to do us harm during this
time will be met with swift fury – certain laws have been pre-lifted to provide our
great military the necessary authority to handle and conduct these operations (at
home and abroad).
Good catch Kingslea! 👏

Thank you!!
If that helicopter was equipped with drone technology, then that makes me worried that this could have been like a test run for a assassination attempt on the president.
Thanks for posting! Will request a sticky for you..
Thank you sweet Joy.
Of course fren...😺
RSBN host said Trump is scheduled to speak at 11am eastern time.
Really. Thanks for that.
Pete just said Continuity of Government
Came here to say this too J1D! Sounds like 'copter controls were over-riden and it was remoted into the flight path by the black-hats(?)... theoretically speaking anyways.
Agreed...my first thought when I saw the flight path..
u/#q259
That was my thought too. Came here to see if anyone was also thinking that way. Maybe sending a message to President Trump to watch out.
Yep, caught that. Hard to know which to listen to right now with everything going on!
Yes...last night was rough, we only slept 3 hours 💔
Our true leader is back. POTUS 45-47.
"We're investigating" and then 3 years later we know nothing. POTUS nailed it.

Paraphrasing:
~ POTUS
Let me guess, the pilot's name was Abdul and the other two were Muhamad and Abdir. But it was most definitely not terrorism. Not at all. A horrible training accident is all.
A pilot’s view on why helicopter did not avoid passenger jet in Washington crash
TLDR: The Air Traffic Controller didn't warn the helo pilot soon enough AND the helo pilot never should have crossed a flight landing path without explicit permission to do so.
Wait, yer tellin me helicopters go up and go down... all be.
and yer pilot names- not creative at all- whers the “Captain Sum Ting Wong,” “Wi Tu Lo,” “Ho Lee Fuk,” and “Bang Ding Ow.” ?
or are the .. middle eastern / arab names used for Army helicopter pilots?
https://jtfncr.mdw.army.mil/News/Articles/Article-Display/Article/4047667/recovery-underway-for-us-army-helicopter-crash/
Actually, I was quoting President Trump. Hence the "Paraphrasing" and the actual quote marks.
Basically, in President Trump's official remarks he made it very clear that the helicopter had many, many ways to avoid the collision. Including the magical up and down you sleuthed out.
I hope this isn't terrorism and just a series of horrible mistakes because at least that would not have intent. If this disaster had intent, then there will likely be more.
FYI...
Muslim Terror Attacks on US Bases
Recent attacks on U.S. military bases involving individuals with ties to Islam include several incidents:
New Orleans Truck Attack (January 1, 2025): Shamsud-Din Bahar Jabbar, a U.S. Army veteran and former Deloitte employee, drove a white pickup truck into a crowd of revelers on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, killing at least 15 people. He also opened fire and died in a shootout with police. In the truck, an Islamic State flag was found, and Jabbar had posted videos to Facebook pledging allegiance to ISIS.
Naval Air Station Pensacola (December 6, 2019): Mohammed Saeed Alshamrani, a Saudi Air Force officer training at a Navy base in Florida, killed three U.S. sailors and wounded eight others. American officials described the shooting as an act of terrorism. Alshamrani was killed by a sheriff’s deputy. Robins Air Force Base (October 4, 2019): A man drove through a gate at Robins Air Force Base in Georgia, colliding with a security barrier and killing himself and two passengers. None of the people involved were affiliated with the base.
Attacks on U.S. Bases During Gaza War (Starting October 17, 2023): In response to U.S. support for Israel in the Gaza war, Iran-backed militias initiated more than 170 attacks on U.S. military bases and assets in Syria, Iraq, and Jordan. These attacks resulted in injuries to dozens of U.S. service members. The U.S. responded with counterattacks, leading to the death of over 30 militants, including a senior commander of the Nujaba Movement, Mushtaq Talib al-Saidi.
These incidents highlight the diverse nature of threats faced by U.S. military bases, ranging from lone actor attacks to coordinated strikes by militant groups.
Good reminders fren! 👏
Yes, actually helicopters are so ugly , the earth repels them, that's how they fly..
Since this is all speculation at this point- Here's mine.
PSA5342 is approaching rwy 01 - controller ask if 5342 can make circle to land approach to rwy 33, they accept and continue approach.
PAT25 is transitioning via RTE1/RTE4 helicopter visual route along the river.
https://skyvector.com/
ATC comm to PAT25: "PAT25, do you have the CRJ in sight? PAT 25 pass behind the CRJ,"
PAT25 acknowledges aircraft insight - *This will be the issue *
PAT25 is looking south and "pure speculation here" is looking at AAL3130 as being PSA5342 -- which is on approach for rwy 01. as shown in the YT radar
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=couSXuo7ekU&ab_channel=Aviate68
PSA5342 is in a descending left turn for rwy 33 not able to see PAT25 which is below and to their right.
PAT25 continues south and impacts PSA5342 belly. no bueno!
I am not a trained ATC or Pilot and am likely wrong about everything.
I don't think the ATC gave the Helo enough warning to get out of the way. The collision happened within seconds of asking if he could see the CRJ (passenger jet). Regardless of Helo's reply, there wasn't even time to avoid the collision at that point.
Two, no one gets to cross a landing flight path without explicit permission from the CTA.
Maybe the CTA figured the military pilot knew better, but the universal rules are that you need permission to cross a landing flight path before doing so. That rule is in place to avoid this exact situation.
ATC did give enough warning to " pass behind the CRJ" - "see and avoid"
*Helo was looking at the incorrect aircraft- *
ATC did provide " explicit permission" as communications indicated. ATC comm to PAT25: "PAT25, do you have the CRJ in sight? PAT 25 pass behind the CRJ,"
How about this pilot's analysis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfgllf1L9_4&ab_channel=CaptainSteeeve
I listened to the audio and there were about 2 or 3 seconds between asking if Helo could see CRJ, there was no response, and then impact occurred.
Thanks mod frens! 🫡
Dwarfism? Not on my 2025 bingo card.
Frodo
He has also posted two different posts from this speech on TS.
Something tells me Trump knows the ATC was a new hire, before anyone else.
I do think he could have averted this because all three times he contacted PAT25 he got no response. He should have diverted the CRJ.
edit Three times he contacted PAT25 and got no response.
PAT25 did acknowledge- they were on different frequency- UHF
VHF/UHF
No response is heard on the ATC audio feed. Fox News has learned that the helicopter did respond, but on a different frequency, a frequency for helicopters.
https://www.foxnews.com/us/dc-plane-crash-air-traffic-control-audio-reveals-moment-controllers-saw-disaster-tower-did-you-see-that
Yes!! We heard this late last night and was just going to post this...a critical point error.
Please make a post so everyone will understand! u/PPimp4Trump
Good info thank you. If the ATC had a headset on he probably only was monitoring the main frequency. Otherwise cross talk could interfere with what you were hearing.
Who were the Russian diplomats onboard and what was their purpose?
I believe the Russians aboard were skaters..
They were ice skating coaches from Boston
All I got out of this plane being blown up with people on it,’is diversity inclusion racist and idiots suck and this is what happens. If anyone is going to blame Trump or say anything negative, they’re all a part of that problem. And they’ll point at themselves and wear that moron badge of honor before putting what’s actually important first. I just want to say to them, “…now, see how your viewpoint went into the trash again so fast that you should be concerned about?” That’s it. They can argue with the trash can. I didn’t get their point the waste basket did again.
He also posted on TS clips from this briefing: timestamps 1104, 1106, 1107, 1111.
