Air Force One Almost Hit By Small Drone As It Landed In DC

t's emerging on Monday that Trump's plane had a near-miss with a small drone on Sunday as it approached Washington DC for landing.

Multiple people on board Air Force One reported seeing a yellow and black device flying nearby, said to be shaped like a cross, which came just off the right side of the aircraft soon before touching down at 5:54pm.

President Trump was returning from his golf club in Bedminster New Jersey when it happened.

Several reporters traveling as part of the press pool were eyewitnesses, with Senior Bloomberg News correspondent Jennifer Jacobs commenting just after landing that "Multiple people on AF1 saw what appeared to be a drone just below the plane as we were descending toward Joint Base Andrews. We came very close to hitting it."

The AFP's Sebastian Smith was the first eyewitness to report it, saying the object came "remarkably close to the president's plane" and that it "resembled a drone".

The Secret Service didn't comment, according to Bloomberg but it typically doesn't acknowledge active investigations.

It's the second major security incident involving Andrews Air Force Base and its sensitive high-secured aircraft with the month.

Last week an Air Force helicopter on a training exercise out of Andrews was shot at from the ground while flying near Mannassas, Virginia. A pilot was injured and forced to make an emergency landing. The FBI has since been searching for the shooter and it remains unknown whether it was intentional.

Arizona Child Welfare Workers Caught Wearing 'Professional Kidnapper' T-Shirts

The Prescott Arizona Department of Child Safety (DCS) is down to only one child-abuse investigator after having to fire at least eight others for wearing t-shirts that say “Professional Kidnapper” on them and posting the photos on Facebook. The terminated child-welfare employees had these shirts made up with the phrase “Do you know where your children are?” in bright pink as a “joke” that no one who has battled DCS for custody of their children thought was funny.

The agency has not released the exact number of investigators who were fired—news reports say “multiple” individuals were canned.

Parents in Arizona and across the country have regularly accused government agencies tasked with child welfare of illegally kidnapping their children and denying them their due process rights. It is devastatingly traumatic for a family when DCS or Child Protective Services (CPS) gets involved and removes children — a whopping 62% in 2018 for vague accusations of “neglect.”

That means the parents accused of neglect are generally no charged with criminal abuse and cannot defend themselves in a real court with real due process. Instead, they are shuffled through family courts with low standards of evidence, where they must prove they are innocent instead of the other way around. The process bankrupts almost everyone it ensnares, as public defenders are not available to people who aren’t accused of crimes. Many of the families mixed up with child welfare lose everything trying to pay legal bills to get their children returned. The average time child welfare holds children away from their parents is twelve to fifteen months.
