DC plane crash could have been prevented – Trump

The US president has suggested the tragedy was caused by human error

The collision of a US Army helicopter and a civilian airliner that killed 67 people could have been prevented, President Donald Trump has claimed,questioning air traffic controllers’ actions.

The H-60 BlackHawk helicopter collided Flight 5342 that was on its final approach to Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport on Wednesday evening.

Rescue teams have not recovered any survivors from the US capital’s freezing Potomac river, which flows adjacent to the airport.

“It is a CLEAR NIGHT, the lights on the plane were blazing, why didn’t the helicopter go up or down, or turn,”Trump posted on his TruthSocial platform early on Thursday.

The president also questioned why the control tower had failed to instruct the helicopter crew what to do.

“This is a bad situation that looks like it should have been prevented. NOT GOOD!!!” Trump added.

At 9pm local time, when the crash happened, the airport reported clear skies, with 16km visibility and winds from the northwest. The air temperature was 10C, but parts of the Potomac River were still frozen from an earlier cold snap.

The passenger jet was a Bombardier CRJ700 operated by PSA, a subsidiary of American Airlines. The flight from Wichita, Kansas was on landing approach to Runway 33, with 60 passengers and four crew members on board, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has said.

Among the passengers were several athletes, coaches and family members returning from the US Figure Skating Championships in Wichita.

Nearly 300 first responders were deployed to sift the wreckage for survivors, but found none as of Thursday morning. Operations were soon shifted from rescue to recovery.

Does anyone think there was some unknown weapons, such as interference with communication or other weapons from a foreign power. China has revealed many weapons that can and will use.

Is it possible, that this why a lot of the Boeing Airlines have crashed or other dangers. A lot of the problems could have been done intentionally by ground crews.

>>22468406, >>22469090 TRANSCRIPT - President Trump speaks after deadly Washington, D.C. plane crashPN

It's obvious the MSM legacy news, that everything is always Trump's fault, they are aggressive, rude, accusatory, and downright disrespectful. If they are to continue to be in the Press room they should at least leave their aggressive attitudes left at the door. He answered every question proving their questions, and conclusions were biased, without telling them so.

I think Karoline Leavitt should free up 10 seats from MSM, for the alternate news, that at least will feel like it's a privilege to be in that room.

Compare just one Obama Press conference where the news liars are basically genuflecting and gushing when Obama speaks, to how they treat PDJT.

The MSM have not learned their lessons. CNN went from 25-30 millions viewers per day to 200,000 because of their lies about Trump and citizens.

The President has a right to require these idiots to be at least, polite while asking their stupid questions.

>>22469266

GOD that's funny and true, Bernie is as corrupt as the rest of them, RFKjr, do that again with all of them

>>22469184

No he didn't, he's just to relay the fears of the democrats to Kash, so they can pour some water on their on fire hair.

I hope Kash goes after them, but it's not differences of politics, it's about their corruption.

Every single father ignored Bidan handling their children, even some of the republicans.

I loved it when Jeff Session pushed the groper Bidan's hand away and protected his grandchild.

>>22469506

OMG, I love that guy, all of AFRICA was blackmailed to introduce homosexuality by Obama to all the countries, very few of the countries said fuck off.

Every single person there knows 3/4s or more of that aid goes to the Leader or president, very little goes to the people. That's why they needs billions and billions for 30+ years.

>>22469299

FUCK NO!

>>22469207

So you like the snarky MSM more? He's been right 96% more than he has been wrong. I'm not a watcher but I read a lot.

>>22469209

Yeah really agent, you are so obvious, your sign is blinking red.

There's no "us" here, we are not a defined group, we are anons and researchers.

>>22469645

Bernie has done absolutely nothing in the Senate, I checked 8 years ago, theonly bills he put up, Renaming a Post Office, and putting some sign on a tree. The guy is a thief, he won't pay for a damn thing, he steals newspapers from other at hotels, but the people at home, like the lying because the politicians get lots of money.

Kiev mayor accuses Zelensky’s team of attempting to ‘usurp power’

Vitaly Klitschko has claimed that the administration of the Ukrainian leader is meddling in the capital’s local governance, endangering democracy

Kiev Mayor Vitaly Klitschko has accused the Ukrainian government of attempting to undermine the city’s leadership, claiming that Vladimir Zelensky’s administration is interfering in local governance.

In a video address on Wednesday, Klitschko, who has a strained relationship with Zelensky, warned ofongoing “political intrigues” in the capital, allegedly orchestrated by the Ukrainian leader’s allies.

Klitschko’s criticism follows the appointment in December of Timur Tkachenko as head of the Kiev City Military Administration.

Tkachenko, previously a deputy minister for community and territorial development, replaced Sergey Popko, a military officer who had led the administration since 2022. Klitschko has challenged the move,arguing that Tkachenko lacks military experienceand is unqualified for the position.

Tkachenko has been obstructing key economic decisions in Kievin a bid to take over the powers of the mayor and the city council, Klitschko claimed.

”Since taking the job, Tkachenko has been ‘blocking the resolution of key economic issues’ in the city,” the mayor alleged. According to Klitschko,Tkachenko is doing so in an attempt “to take over the powers of the mayor, the city council… in violation of the law.’”

“An attempt is being made in Kiev to unbalance power and destroy local governance,” Klitschko added in his address.

“Let me remind you that the military administration is a temporary body that should deal with defense and security, not usurpation of power,”he stressed. The mayor emphasized that the military administration is a temporary body meant to handle defense and security, not to assume control of the city’s leadership.

Klitschko, a former world heavyweight boxing champion,was one of the most prominent figures in the Western-backed coup in Kiev in 2014, which led to the overthrow of democratically elected Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovich. (In other words, there are no heroes in Kiev or Ukraine, they are all corrupt)

He became the capital’s mayor the same year and is one of the few officials from the era of Zelensky’s predecessor, Pyotr Poroshenko, to have retained his post.In 2019, Zelensky’s administration attempted to remove Klitschkofrom his position as head of the Kiev City State Administration, but he was re-elected in 2020.

In December 2023, Klitschko accused Zelensky of steering Ukraine toward authoritarianism, expressing concerns over the centralization of power. Tensions between the two have persisted, with disagreements over issues such as the state of Kiev’s bomb shelters and the management of city infrastructure.

PS:Remember it's most likely, and predictable that Zelensky and the thugs and oligarchs, are currently working with Democrats to get Trump again, cutting off the money, released panic everywhere.
