[Transportation Secretary] Duffy said that “everything was standard in the lead up to the crash.”
“It is not standard to have aircraft collide. Want to be clear on that, but prior to the collision, the flight paths that were being flown from the military and from American that was not unusual for what happens in the D.C. airspace,” Duffy added.
Duffy said that there was no breakdown of communication.
“I don’t want to say too much on the communication between the helicopter and the tower and the airline and the tower, but I will say this: There was communication,” Duffy said. “It was, I would say, standard communication, so there was not a breakdown” in communication.
In the wake of this tragedy, why did this administration copy their script from a comedy sketch 🤦
“Except for the part when the aircraft collided, everything was perfectly normal” does not inspire confidence in the system…
I’m waiting for Trump to get defensive after finding out the pilots were not DEI hires, and to just go straight into “I think the front fell off of the airplane”, with zero irony or comedy intended.
Well a gust hit the craft!
Is that unusual?
Yeah, in the air? Chance in a million!
There is so much free space in the air that the chances aircraft collide is incredibly low. We never really did anything to prevent crashes - Investigation results maybe
At least most of the crash pieces landed outside of the environment. Saves having to tow them there later.
