Donald Trump's response to the mid air collision over the Potomac was to blame it on too many minorities working as air traffic controllers.
This is ludicrous, of course, but that doesn't matter for Trump and his Evil Minions™.
Trump's FAA has called bullshit on the anti-DEI narrative.
A preliminary report on Wednesday night’s plane and helicopter collision near Washington, D.C. contradicts Donald Trump’s favorite DEI scapegoat.
An internal report from the Federal Aviation Administration found that in reality, the tower’s staffing at Ronald Reagan National Airport (DCA) was “not normal for the time of day and volume of traffic,” according to The New York Times. There was only one air traffic controller to handle both helicopters and planes in the airport’s vicinity, a job usually assigned to two people.
Having to handle both types of air traffic can be complicated, the Times report states, because air traffic controllers can use different radio frequencies for helicopter and airplane pilots. In such cases, while the controller is communicating with pilots of both kinds of aircraft, the pilots may not be able to talk to one another.
Also, it appear that the helicopter was out of position.
There were two pilots flying the helo, and one of them, Andrew Eaves, was a white man.
The other pilot, a woman, has not had her name released at the request of her family, probably because we know that Trump would blame her, and his acolytes would then doxx the family.
