Plane crash in Washington.

WASHINGTON — If you plan on flying anytime soon, I have some devastating news! An American Airlines flight from Wichita, Kansas to Washington, D.C. was involved in a deadly crash with a military helicopter Wednesday night. There were a total of 4 crew members and 63 passengers aboard the two aircraft. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said when the plane and helicopter 🚁 collided, they plunged into the Potomac River. At least 28 cadavers (including 3 soldiers) were pulled from the icy water and the other bodies have yet to be found. That means there’s no survivors, making this the deadliest aviation disaster since 2001. YIKES! Telling you dawg, I have a flight scheduled for a trip to Las Vegas in 3 months for a sports gambling conference. But I might say “f*ck it” and drive instead. Wichita Airport ICT disseminated the following statement via Twitter: “We’re aware of reports that American Eagle Flight 5342, operated by PSA, with service from Wichita, Kansas (ICT) to Washington Reagan National Airport (DCA) has been involved in an incident. We will provide information as it becomes available.”
President Donald Trump was given the news then shared his condolences on social media. “I have been fully briefed on the terrible accident which just took place at Reagan National Airport,” he bemoaned. “May God bless their souls. Thank you for the incredible work being done by our first responders. I am monitoring the situation and will provide more details as they arise.”
Later, during his press conference, Trump blamed the crash on “horrible” policies linked to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), accusing former Democratic presidents Joe Biden and Barack Obama of lowering hiring standards at the FAA. In other words, it’s his contention too many unqualified Negroes and Hispanics were added to the staff. Not to mention a female pilot was in command of the helicopter.
“We have to have our smartest people [as air traffic controllers],” Trump said.
“It doesn’t matter what they look like, how they speak, who they are. … They have to be talented, naturally talented. Geniuses. Can’t have regular people doing their job. We can’t have regular people doing this job. They won’t be able to do it, but we’ll restore faith in American air travel.”
“A group within the FAA determined that the workforce was too white,” Trump continued.
“Then they had concerted efforts to get the administration to change that and to change it immediately. This was in the Obama administration.”
Aviation doyens have long worried about Reagan’s overcrowded airspace, saying it could lead to catastrophe.
Sadly, they were right.
“This was a disaster waiting to happen,” bemoaned Ross Aimer, a retired United Airlines captain and chief executive officer of Aero Consulting Experts.
“Those of us who have been around a long time have been yelling into a vacuum that something like this would happen because our systems are stretched to extremes.”
Do you agree with Trump?
Is DEI primarily culpable?
Watch the deadly crash.

So sad God bless the souls that perished condolences to their families friends
Rip to everyone who lost their lives in this crash 🙏🏿
It’s almost like they wanted to crash
The helicopter flew into the plane, not the other way around
Time to downsize the military.
So who’s at fault.
Trump is a rapist felon.
ALL THE MEDIA SAYS PLANE FLEW INTO CHOPPER BUT VIDEO SHOWS CHOPPER FLYING INTO PLANE 🎉🎉🎉
TRUMP DID THIS!! I hope that plane was filled with his voters. This is what happens when you gut the aviation safety committee and put a nazi drunk in charge of DOD. But I am sure they will blame woke people. Do we still have first responders or have they all been fired?
Of course, Trump has to imply somehow it was unqualified people of color that were responsible. Racist twit.
It is time for EVERYONE to start working and put down the crack pipe
Please explain to me how something like this can happen in 2025 with all the technology and computers we have…
This was planned
Military incompetence. Trump is to blame for this, but he blames DEI hires? POS.
Trump said diversity nonsense caused this crash. He may well be right.
Why was it even important to suggest that the previous administration “tampered” with the standards for hiring? Suppose it comes out that the culpable parties have 20-plus years on the job, then what? Better still, what if the parties involved—besides the helicopter pilot—are VETERANS. And we know vets get hiring preferences in federal jobs…jobs not all of them are actually qualified. I’ve met vets—no shade—who didn’t see combat, but i found myself wondering how they possibly made it through their enlistment. Inconvenient truth!
THAT IS RIDICULOUS! AFFIRMATIVE ACTION IS OUT OF CONTROL!
The helicopter pilot was a white guy…
Notice how many things have gone wrong since Trump won the election?
60+ souls gone…so woke Bootycheck can feel good and fill racial quotas. Insane!
Trump spews brainless garbage , dumbest person ever
Helicopters should never be flying in lanes that planes use to land.
He just cannot be human or empathetic for one single minute. What an absolute monster.
Too bad the standards applied for hiring an Air Traffic Controller aren’t also applied for being President of the United States
Profanity from the potus at a press conference following a tragedy…classy
My uncle was air traffic controller, he was a smart guy but stayed anxious all the time,I think it took a toll,died at 60 from heart attack. I wouldn’t want that stress,God Bless the families and may the victims rest in peace.
@Leslie Ford: You could not pay me enough to be an ATC. Nor am i even in the same Hemisphere of how sharp you have to be. I can’t imagine the training you have to do.
So lemme get this right…. Send “DEI” hires home on leave… Crash happens 10 days later….. Blame DEI hires (who are at home)….. Make it make sense
I’ve never seen a president behave more heinously when addressing a tragedy.
@Diana: I agree. NEVER has anyone in leadership immediately blamed his/her predecessors, public servants and military personnel as quickly as this sad excuse for a human.
Everyone should go listen to the ATC communications. It was the helicopters fault. ATC told them multiple times where the incoming plane was and told the pilot to turn away and maintain visual separation. Helicopter was also over their max altitude limit for the area. They climbed 100 feet as the plane was descending and crashed directly into them. Also every pilot was male as was the ATC. Blaming DEI is the only thing he can do, he needs a scapegoat in every situation and is incapable of taking blame for anything. “I love the poorly educated”.
What a sickening thing for him to say when he doesn’t even know who all was flying what. He has no remose or care whatsoever for all those who died during this incident, such as a pathetic. president.
Trump is absolutely right on DEI hiring policies, all information related to this tragic incident needs to be released to the public immediately!😢
They are now withholding the name of the female army thing in the helicopter. Hmmm it’s obvious where this is going. President Trump obviously knows the truth and yea DEI is to blame for the loss of lives in this tragic accident.
Female pilot in command in the helicopter. Trump was RIGHT
God is coming
Turns out President Trump was EXACTLY RIGHT AGAIN!!!! 1,000 fully qualified air traffic controllers were not hired because there wasn’t enough “diversity” in the group. So, they threw out the qualified folks that had passed the ATC test and became under staffed. There were only 19 of what should have been 30 ATC in the tower when the crash happened because of this Leftist insanity.
This was not done by accident!! it is blatantly obvious
God take away his voice so he can stop lying to Americans who are gullible. He just said those working in air control have mental issues…….he has issues and people better wake up. He respects no one and many do not respect him.
1)DEI: Every time they scream DEI, we need to scream “WEALTHY COLLEGE ADMISSION SCANDAL” as loud as we can!! Out response can not just be about Legacy. Am I the only one who recalls the college admission scandals? Trump says WYT folks ( particularly men) are so “superior”, if so then why were (are) wealthy WYT parents paying hundreds of thousands of dollars to consultants to get their kids into college? For decades the wealthy have been paying people to take their ( AVERAGE and BELOW average GPA teens) college entrance exams, lying about playing sports and getting full ride athletic scholarships when they never stepped foot on the field, court, or crew boat! Why are blonde hair blue eyed people getting scholarships for so called having Native American blood? Stealing money that is supposed to be for NAs? If they are so smart why not take their own Entrance exams?
2)RACE ON JOB APS: Why then for the last 100 yrs have WYT folks been hired because they were NOT black ?
Trump says he will “Forge a society that is color blind and merit based” so Let see how fast he signs an executive order to remove RACE from every single job application and hire people based on college degree, vocational training, and experience. He won’t because his own hires are Severely unqualified NEA ( No Experience at All hires). Also, that question on the Ap is there to help increase discrimination efforts. Let’s call for him to remove race from all job applications.
3)AGRICULTURE: The reason racist WYTs and Trump were not worried about the lack of migrants to harvest the fields is because of what he said “ immigrants are taking black jobs” and he meant it!! He believes that Black people should be in the fields to replace the migrants. Actually he is setting it up for that to be the primary jobs that Black people have. Think about it, they are defunding k-12 education, food programs, and college ( grants, loans, etc) in hopes that Blacks can’t afford to create a better life for themselves, are desperate for work, have no career outlook, and ultimately turn to picking produces for $1-$7 and hour. He wants black people who are intellectuals to only be able to work in a field, wash dishes for rich folks, clean offices and homes, chauffeur people around, open doors for people, flip burgers, and live in a slum. Cancelling laws and having no consequences for employers who discriminate causing a decrease in employment for blacks down the line. Removing gov support from poor and black people so the systems can starve them into submission so that they just give in and start sharecropping again. The other strategy they most likely will use is forcing prisoners to work in Agriculture to replace the migrants. Next thing you know they will find a reason to have a man on horseback to guard these citizens and prisoners and now you have a new form of slavery. Everything is pointing to their plan to have black people back in the fields. They are sick and tired of seeing black people driving nice cars, sitting next to them at work making similar ( but less) money. They are tired of seeing you living next door. They want black people back in concentrated neighborhoods on the other side of town so they don’t have to look at us. Period!!! In 10,20,40 yrs if this doesn’t all get reversed all of this will become reality. No exaggeration!! Project 2025 is no joke!! If a system doesn’t support you then why should you support it?!
Lets be clear. The single greatest beneficiary of DEI polices are White Woman. Next on the list are Disabled Vets. Not Blacks, not Hispanics, not Asians, I guess Republicans just think Women and disabled Vets are just not qualified candidates. The only DEI hires I’ve seen are the Trump Cabinet. None of them are qualified to do their jobs.
Shut him up! He is causing so much anxiety and stress for all of Americans, minus his cult of MAGA.
President Trump seemed to imply that an unqualifed Hispanic or Black-American made the fatal human error in this crash for what was actually the fatal human error attributed to a fully-qualified air-traffic controller of European ancestry biting-off too much than what he could handle in “congested skies” over Washington, D.C. Please, Mr. President, stop being so devisive.
This man is a psychopath and America will suffer under his control.
Guys wearing lipstick and dresses telling planes how to land.
So what if this was a inside job to frame the DEI???
I lean right but my mind is still open to being lied to.
Wow is this fool emotionally insecure or what
I know someone who flew about 40 times last year, there may have been 1 female white pilot, all the other times were white men and a couple Asians
Trump is STUPID😶🌫️
Congratulations USA for electing this moron again!
