It's a super-congested airspace, and Washington National airport has relatively short runways, so virtually everything bigger than a 757 flies in and out of Dulles airport 20 miles away.Have no clue what they were doing in that space together.
I notice VP Vance immediately made a statement, but President Musk and co-President Trump did not.
It's Friday night so SecDef Pete Hegseth is probably too drunk to comment on the military helicopter.
Remember, America, this is what you voted for...

Washington National (I refuse to call it Reagan) has been shut down.
Sec Hegseth announced the military will be available if needed *hic*
Newsflash Petey: it was one of YOUR helicopters that crashed....don't you think you could assist based on that alone?
Remember, FAA controllers got their "Take the severance pay and quit or risk layoffs" memo from Trump's OMB yesterday.

What did the head of the TSA, CG, and ASAC have to do with this crash? Please be very specific.
God bless those lost and their families.

Washington Post has video footage of the collision on its website, it's free tonight
I'm not sure of the angle but at first glance it appears the helicopter ran into the back of the regional jet?
I'm wondering who this VIP was that he or she can rate a military helicopter flying through Friday evening rush hour traffic at one of the most congested airspaces in the country.
I fear that plane collisions and other man-made disasters will sadly be "the new normal" in the next four years.

I notice WaPo changed and is calling it a "mass casualty" event.Eyewitness says he has ears re: emergency personnel and they're saying it's a huge recovery, not rescue, operation.
I hope to G-d both of the pilots were hetero Christian white males,
as we all know that the alternative is too disgusting to contemplate:
Four years of Trump bellowing repeatedly about how this tragedy was the result of "DEI Hires".

MSNBC reporting four people pulled from wreckage alive.

Remember when DonOld gutted the CDC and State Department missions in China shortly before the Covid outbreak, thus blinding U.S. insight into the disease??? (Of course, the psychopathic orange traitor hid information about the deadly nature of the virus from the American public anyway, so…)
Also:
Remember when DonOld deregulated the railroad industry before the East Palestine disaster??? And then the MAGAts who lived there blamed President Biden???
History is repeating itself because low information / education voters didn’t learn from it…

SAD!!!

"Everything Trump Touches Dies".
The only exception I can think of was when Trump shook Pence's hand after President Jimmy Carter's funeral. The CIA agent who equipped Trumps Rolex with a poison dart was sacked when the watch "malfunctioned". (Trump was told many times not to twist his hand downward during the service but kept looking at his watch in boredom....the dart fired harmlessly into the tile floor). President Barack Obama poked Trump in the ribs and said "I KNOW you weren't aiming that at ME, and Trump reddened and stammered "no, Pence" and both laughed softly together.

I have no doubt he'll find some excuse to blame it on that somehow. But you're right, if either pilot was not a straight white Christian male, that would be the easiest scapegoat.

Bold prediction: Before 8 a.m. tomorrow morning one or more of the infamous PB "Four Horseturds Of The Apocalypse" (AJ, RightGuide, Rebel5Soul, BoBo) will have discovered some way, method or means to place the entirety of the blame for this crash on the Democratic party, Kamala Harris, former President Joe Biden, or "the Deep State".
This is how they 'do' this sort of tragedy on the Political Board.

They have been in the cold water too long. It’s very sad. 19 victims so far

Terrifying. They're always saying air traffic is going to be the cause of the next major crash.
At least one pilot was a soldier.
This is only the very beginning of what will be the most chaotic federal administration in American history. All week long, MAGAts have been giddily celebrating the gutting of America's civil service infrastructure.
They wanted chaos and instability. We got it on Day One. It will go downhill from here.
Trump only knows how to blame/fire people and seek retribution. He has no clue how to build social stability.

You're out to lunch. This is the mess Trump inherited and we voted for him to clean up. Trying to dump on Trump after a tragic accident, the cause of which we do not yet know, is just bizarre. You may want to see a medical professional about that severe TDS before you start barking at the moon.
