It had nothing to do with not having enough ATCs.

Was this your comment?
"Wash National was not understaffed. So hiring Air Traffic Controllers had nothing to do with this accident. Nice try to blame Biden though."


Can you read ? You apparently are the one who can't comprehend


“The position configuration was not normal for the time of day and volume of traffic,” the report said.
While the cause of the fatal collision is still under investigation, a report revealed that an air traffic controller was given the job of two people after one worker clocked off early, according to a report.
Airplane and helicopter traffic is normally handled by two separate controllers until 9:30 p.m., but a supervisor allegedly merged the two jobs before the allotted changeover time, a source told The New York Times. A preliminary Federal Aviation Administration report concluded that staffing levels were “not normal” at the time.

A report by the Federal Aviation Administration says staffing in the air traffic control tower was “not normal” at the time of the midair collision near Washington.
The report was obtained Thursday by The Associated Press.
One air traffic controller was doing work normally assigned to two people in the tower at Reagan National when the collision happened, according to a report by the Federal Aviation Administration obtained by The Associated Press.
an internal preliminary Federal Aviation Administration report says staffing was “not normal for the time of day and volume of traffic.”

Go back and read what I said. Then think about what I said. This is very simple though you don’t seem to comprehend it.

With no evidence whatsoever Trump implied that DEI was to blame for this

Yeah, threads tend to get quickly derailed in this forum when Trumpettes comically try to defend their dipshit geriatric leader. And then others get off track going back and forth with them instead of just ignoring them and not playing their stupid ass deflection game.

I am not sure what is so hard about just ignoring a thread instead of trying to hijack the fuck out of it because you don't like reading anything negative about King Fat Ass and his stupid and irresponsible words connecting DEI to this tragedy (which is the topic).

Go back and look at your post. Don't you understand what you post
"Wash National was not understaffed. You said this,correct or is someone posting with your name.
I post 5 example that state your wrong, I could have posted 10+ They were understaffed. They didn't have enough people in the control tower. Why can't you understand that

You said it wasn't understaffed. At least 5 agencies who are the experts state you are wrong.

The army pilots were reportedly well-trained. Would it be ironic if they joined during the first Trump term?

For those leaning into the ATC staffing info, did you read where ATC asks "do you have the CBJ in sight?" The helicopter pilot confirms he sees the CRJ and requests "visual separation" then crashes into the plane 20 seconds later.

What is it with you ?


The thread is about Trump making completely inappropriate remarks.

Washington National Airport was not understaffed. They have a cadre of ATCs. They only had a few job openings. The reason their was not two people working the two stations at the tower was a management choice rather than a lack of available staff. Yes, one person was working two stations because the manager felt that the volume was low and decided to have one person either leave or not come in. This has been stated to be common practice. Nothing I said was incorrect. However, you are so hellbent on trying to incorrectly make a point that your reading comprehension is nil. Go back and read my posts. They are clear as day.

Now, to the topic, was DEI the issue here or was Trump lying and making false claims?
