And yes AWR if you listen to the audio from the traffic controller it sounds like somebody who's conformed to the job not made for it

In the 80's an air traffic controller was a loner type, not distracted. You didn't know his personal life you didn't want to know his personal life

You mean like sending the newly hired IRS agents to work at the southern border?

Duckworth, the outgoing chair of the Senate aviation subcommittee, also blasted Trump for jumping on the diversity narrative — and suggested that efforts by Trump and his efficiency czar Elon Musk to shrink the federal workforce were worsening the strain among FAA employees. She noted that agency workers were among those who received emails this week from the White House Office of Personnel Management asking them to consider quitting their jobs.

Those letters made their way to “some air traffic controllers that are responsible for airspace in the Northeast region,” Duckworth said, “basically trying to scare them into quitting at a time when we have a shortage of air traffic controllers. So I don’t think the Trump administration is in a strong position right now to start blaming others.”

Barney you would make a great air traffic controller with your strong hands

The chopper was clearly at fault, but to blame anyone but the Helicopter Pilots or a malfunction is asinine. Blaming the newly appointed Defense Secretary or President Trump reeks of derangement. But, nothing surprises me in here.... I guarantee you Trump is pissed off and changes are coming concerning Army Helicopters operating near that runway. That accident (if that is what it was) should have never happened. Pathetic loss of precious lives. RIP to the 68 poor souls.

Totally agree Footballer.  I thought it showed a low level of class to inject political statements to such a tragic happening.  Time and a place for everything.

Did you even watch Trump ‘s press conference? He immediately turned it into a political speech casting blame on the Democrats. HE’S the president now - at what time will he stop blaming Obama and Biden for HIS failures ? Top Gun - I don’t expect you to return to this discussion and call Trump’s Press Conference “a low level of class”

And what was with that comment made byTrump about former transportation secretary Pete Butteleig, “ He’s a disaster as a man.” Exactly What did he mean by that ?

Trump’s top guy at the Pentagon got up there and tipped off government secrets saying the helicopter was training for a “continuation of government mission if necessary.” Trump responded to a question about that from the press that he doesn’t know anything about “continuation of the government”. Duh - they were training to evacuate Trump and top government officials in an emergency.

Greg, I did not see the Trump press conf. on this.  If he did make it political, yes, that would be a lack of class also.  I just feel there is a time and place for everything.  At a time with 67 grieving families over such a horrible accident, I don't think political arrows should be thrown.  Need more respect for the families for what they are going through.

In 5 years when the damage they caused finally gets cleaned up, providing they don't steal another election
