    your kidding me right? what did musk do to the FAA chairman? pushed him out and made him resign because he was giving spacex fines. on January 20th he resigned. the trump administration replaced him with a yes man who ended up being an incompetent person unable to avoid this disaster this was 100% avoidable.

      Since you seem so sure of your opinion. Tell me how the new head of the faa directly caused this. Should be easy if you read the article.

        he probably ignored some documents or disregarded/unaware of his duties as the title and requirement of that job is needed. all i know for sure is in the last 16 years no accidents. trump makes executive orders that directly affect the faa and the safety of the airline industry and plans and helicopters fall from the sky. it doesn’t take an idiot to put those dots together,

          Thats a lot of mental gymnastics there. What you are describing is correlation. And it proves nothing, in fact it is often very misleading. It is also great proof that the right doesn’t have a monopoly on people who don’t care about facts when spouting their opinion. See, if you had read… the air traffic controlled told the helo pilot about the plane. The helo pilot said they saw the plane and requested permission to avoid it on their own, rather than get specific instructions. That was granted. The ATC even called back when they didn’t see the helo change course, and got the same basic response. So the FAA had nothing to do with causing this. The helo pilot was the cause. Some assume the helo pilot was looking at a different plane. We will probably never know. But it seems they made a mistake.
