In reply to the discussion: Trump must be held accountable for the crash in DC. [View all]DENVERPOPS
(10,587 posts)95. MCE.....here you go
Amazing that a You Tuber tells the true and most likely cause of the Crash. None of the major Media, with all its money and resources have explained the crash with anywhere near this amount of detail
.
Could be that the Media doesnt want to say anything that would conflict with Trumps "Presidential Orders"/agenda, esp his recent appointments that will have MAJOR effects on lowering air traffic safety
(95+% of all media in the U.S. is owned/operated by Uber Rich Republicans ????) His recent appointments in several positions affecting Air Traffic Safety, have gone to individuals totally and completely un-qualified for the positions
..Noem, Duffy, ETC
..
I knew much of this from knowing an incredibly experienced ATC, who was an ATC for the Military for 8 years, before becoming a U.S. Federal ATC for the last 9+ years. He has talked for years about the Civilian and Military air traffic controllers both being somewhat in the dark about what the other was doing due to dramatically different communication and navigation systems......
We are 5 miles from a Military airbase. That airbase has two F somethings that are scrambled every week or every couple of weeks due to commercial jets appearing to be in question of their intentions. They fly about 500-1000 feet over our house, with afterburners on, having an incredible roar and rattling windows in our house......I asked him if their take off's and flights were monitored/directed/coordinated by the Civilian "Denver ATC"....................He just laughed..........

That's right. It is something they would do. However, it's something we should do

That's true, the Republicans would jump on this. And keep lying if they were proven wrong.

Earlier posts stated that ATC are currently understaffed by 30% and it takes 3 years to train.

TSA is not ATC. It's the people who make sure we aren't carrying bombs on board etc.

How will Trump and his cronies get the big tax cuts and Federal contracts without these kinds of cuts?
