He blamed it on DEI and NTSB ex chief said he did more to degrade the safety they’ve built than anyone in 40 years

[-] AliasAKA@lemmy.world 26 points 2 hours ago

So he blames himself? Refreshing change of pace there.

[-] formergijoe@lemmy.world 18 points 3 hours ago

Why's he gotta bad talk the president like that.

[-] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 21 points 4 hours ago

Report is that one ATC was doing the work that's supposed to be done by two, due to staffing shortages.

[-] DrFistington@lemmy.world 6 points 3 hours ago

This is 10000% on Trump and Musk. I give them 30 days of they stay in the country

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 13 points 4 hours ago

Magically, for 16 years none of these issues resulted in this outcome

[-] deacon@lemmy.world 68 points 6 hours ago

Its like he goes out of his way to project.

Have you ever noticed how absolutely fixated this guy is on assigning people mental issues?

I am officially upgrading that from 🤔 to Ominous.

[-] MisterNeon@lemmy.world 183 points 8 hours ago

He's going to use this as an excuse to repeal the Americans with Disabilities Act. I'm calling it.

[-] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 37 points 6 hours ago

it's in project 2025

Nostradamus [Belle] two days ago:

"If they keep the details quiet [of the recent closed-door meeting], you'll be able to tell what they're going after [in the budget] by listening to their rhetoric".

"They'll start scapegoating a demographic, to try and prime the [voter] base to accept their cuts."

(e.g.) "If they start talking about able-bodied people, it's Medicaid."

[-] TransplantedSconie@lemm.ee 20 points 6 hours ago

So many rascal driving MAGAots are about to have their face eaten.

Sucks it will affect decent folks.

[-] deegeese@sopuli.xyz 151 points 8 hours ago

Sounds like a good description of the guy who just tried to fire the entire FAA.

[-] jimjam5@lemmy.world 15 points 7 hours ago

He might have been looking in a mirror when thinking of what kind of demographic to blame

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 7 points 7 hours ago

The best take

[-] AbouBenAdhem@lemmy.world 94 points 8 hours ago

So he’s accepting personal responsibility?

[-] Atelopus-zeteki@fedia.io 20 points 8 hours ago

I'm not suggesting he will accept it willingly, we'll have to force it on him, as he is convicted.

[-] MyOpinion@lemm.ee 75 points 8 hours ago

I think I will blame Trump instead. He was dictator on day one. How could the Orange Turd let this happen!

[-] andrewta@lemmy.world 64 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

So no idea of really how the crash happened, don't have black boxes yet. But somehow knows it was dei. Right.

[-] hddsx@lemmy.ca 24 points 8 hours ago

….

PAT25(?) announced that they have a visual on the CRJ. ATC instructed them to maintain visual separation and then proceed behind the CRJ. They didn’t. No maydays, no panpans.

It’s pilot deviation or pilot error.

What would you be interested in with the black box? If the TAWS warned the CRJ pilots?

[-] WalnutLum@lemmy.ml 6 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

The ATC queries them multiple times if they have visual on the CRJ and they repeatedly respond in the affirmative.

also the published helicopter corridor has them maintain a ceiling of 200 feet, they were well above 350 at the time of the collision.

It's either pilot negligence or instrument failure.

also TCAS is inactive below ~~800~~900 feet.

[-] metaStatic@kbin.earth 58 points 8 hours ago

Black box is woke dei hire.

wouldn't have happened if white box.

[-] jumjummy@lemmy.world 8 points 7 hours ago

Of course. Had it been a white box, it would have avoided this crash, we all know that!

/s

[-] DeathsEmbrace@lemm.ee 9 points 7 hours ago

You missed an even better joke with white hawk helicopter.

TCAS doesn't give resolution advisories (alerts that say to climb or descend to avoid traffic) below 1000'. It does have a warning noise still, but from my understanding it's common for it to go off on approach due to all the other aircraft around and on the ground at the airport, so it may have been ignored.

it could've been

Holy shit. Yeah, and it could also have been you. We don't know right? Just use common sense right?

[-] FiremanEdsRevenge@lemmy.world 46 points 8 hours ago

You killed 67 people, and it's only been a month of your "presidency."

A month? 10 days, mate. Months have around 30 days, so he still has time to raise that number.

[-] amon@lemmy.world 53 points 8 hours ago

Holy hell it's only been 10 days

[-] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 30 points 8 hours ago

These 10 days have been the longest decade of my life.

I only said month because even when he wasn't president yet, they were already making moves like he was. But you are correct it's ONLY been 10 fucking days.

Think of all the covid deaths, place responsibility where it belongs, right in his lap. 1000 deaths on average per week, I don't have the long covid disabilities numbers 'off the top of my head', but they are even more.

I don't even know how you factor in other travesties. Like letting all those J6 criminals out of prison. One of them already had to be put down by a cop during a traffic stop. How do you factor that, when the safest option was to keep them in prison?

He’s projecting again

[-] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 36 points 8 hours ago

Helicopters go up. Helicopters go down. They go up. They go down.

~ super intellectual president

[-] riskable@programming.dev 28 points 8 hours ago

It's time to preorder Trump's guide to being a good conservative: "Everything bad that happens is the fault of the people I hate"

[-] DrFistington@lemmy.world 23 points 8 hours ago

Keep insulting the air traffic controllers that allow AF1 to land safely...

[-] WatDabney@sopuli.xyz 30 points 8 hours ago

More Trump projection.

[-] rickdg@lemmy.world 6 points 7 hours ago

Dumber every day.
