What's really worrying is that in the last year or so there have been several high profile air disasters with major casualties. The chances of a plane crash are still relatively slim, but still, they shouldn't be happening this frequently in this day and age. It's not like it's the Wright Brothers era.

Thoughts go out to those that died. It's unfortunate that people use this as a time to grandstand or come up with crazy theories when it should be a time to mourn, remember those lost and do everything possible to try and make sure that these things don't happen again.

I have flown in and out of Ronald Reagan National Airport (DCA) several times. It’s a small but very busy airport servicing downtown DC which suits politicians and business travellers who don’t want the extra commute to Dulles (the main commercial airport of the Washington area). It’s some of the most tightly controlled airspace in the world given DCA is within spitting distance of the White House, Capitol and Pentagon. It was made even more secure post 9/11. The combination of commercial and military aviation activity has been going on for decades and largely very safely. As always sewer media speculation is unhelpful and even worse that of El Commandante Covfefe. Something has clearly gone very wrong be that technical, human factors or a mix of both. There isn’t (yet) any evidence of a deliberate act. The dead need to be buried and the investigation begun and outcomes implemented. Anything else until is unhelpful noise.

Trumps silly inflammatory presser blaming all and sundry, even more ill advised and reckless as facts become more evident.

Does more harm than good to the nation and individuals and their families.

Sadly a summation of his Presidential career past and present!

OMG what an absolute nut job this guy is. This flies against all the facts that are clearly being laid out by Trump, X & Facebook.
This guy has no credibility, he's just a whack job Conspiracy theorist.
Facts laid out by Trump? There's only been one time he's been honest...

The irony has blood on its hands.
Neither Orange nor the Musk Stick care.
They have no conscience.
Power and money are their only God.
I told the US Politics thread before the election what a scumbag Musk is - I personally know people who worked for him who he almost destroyed with his abuse and unrealistic demands. They left when they wouldn’t cross certain lines or felt their health was suffering. Neither care - they just grab the next sycophant and it continues. I’m not suggesting either are directly responsible for this accident but the declining standards via the lust for power and profit are definitely contributing factors. #FoxtrotWhiskey
