NEW: Planes clip each other's wings on runway at Reagan National Airport

"Another plane just bumped into our wing. Heading back to the gate, but thankfully everyone is ok."

Apr 10, 2025

Two planes clipped each other's wings at Reagan National Airport on Thursday, as multiple congressmen were on a stationary aircraft and a plane that was taxiing clipped its wing. No injuries were reported from the incident.

Congressman Nick LaLota posted on X, "Serving in Congress has come with some once in a lifetime experiences… like just now while stationary on the runway at DCA, another plane just bumped into our wing. Heading back to the gate, but thankfully everyone is ok! (And ⁦Rep. Grace Meng is handing out grapes!)"

Meng made a post about the incident, writing, "While waiting on the runway to fly out of DC today, another plane clipped the wing of the plane my colleagues and I were on. Fortunately, everyone is okay & we're heading back to New York soon. Thank you to all who reached out with your concerns!"

"I am safe after another plane clipped our wing while on the runway at DCA. This close call underscores the urgent need for more FAA funding—people’s lives are at stake. Cuts and firing FAA employees are not the answer. Seven members of Congress were on board along with dozens of other concerned passengers," Rep. Gregory Meeks said on X.

Multiple other Congressmen posted their accounts of the story, with some of the Democrats calling for cuts of staff at the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) made by the Trump administration to be reversed. The cuts did not impact air traffic controllers or aviation safety inspectors and amounted to around 400 people being cut from its staff of 45,000, per Axios.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy responded to the incident, saying, "Glad to hear everyone on board is safe. But stop the fear mongering and let’s stick to the facts. No safety-critical positions at the FAA have been cut. I look forward to your support for @POTUS’ plan to build an all new, state of the art air traffic control system."

NBC News reported that both aircraft were from American Airlines. "American Eagle flight 5490, operated by PSA Airlines, made contact on a DCA taxiway with American Eagle flight 4522, operated by Republic Airways," the company said in a statement. "Safety is our top priority, and we apologize to our customers for their experience."

One plane (a Bombardier CRJ 900) was headed for Charleston, South Carolina and the other (Embraer E175) was bound for John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York.

Might I ask if the pilot of the plane that actually clipped them will be receiving a strongly worded letter?

>Can you rely on being able to board a plane and fly away?

As Congress was aboard and could not figure out the pilot of the other plane misjudged distance and hiring more FAA would have done nothing to prevent that I'd say take the chance since we can always get more Congress

Doctors Say Trump’s Political Opponents Suffering Anxiety, Uncertainty, Despair, Guilt

by Wendell Husebo 12 Feb 2025

President Donald Trump’s political opponents, who tried to imprison him, bankrupt him, remove him from the ballot, and make him politically irrelevant by introducing a partisan committee to investigate January 6 — and whose inflammatory rhetoric created a ripe environment for two assassination attempts — are now suffering health issues, according to health experts.

Doctors say the issues include anxiety, uncertainty, despair, guilt, depression, insomnia, grief, fear, and panic.

“There is an element of chaos right now,” Georgetown University psychology professor Andrea Bonior told Axios. “A sense of not knowing what’s coming and not being able to control what’s coming is really hard on the stress response.”

Trump took immediate action after taking the oath of office in January. In just three weeks, he signed over 75 executive orders, memos, and proclamations, outpacing previous presidents. Read more on those actions here.

As Trump took swift action, Democrat lawmakers enlisted psychologists to help them cope. Republicans mocked the move.

“As humans, we don’t love uncertainty,” said Bonior, who sees patients in Washington, DC. “It’s something that we don’t tend to tolerate well. And then when we’re anxious, it’s excruciating.”

Dr. Glenn Burnett, an internist from Wyoming, told journalist Mark Halperin on Thursday that the health issues have “a lot to do with Donald Trump and the fears of what he’s going to do or what’s happening in the country.”

“We are dealing with depression, anxiety, all kinds of medical problems that are related to that, like insomnia, chest pain, chest pressure,” he said. “And then people are that [sic] — there’s some genuine fear, panic.”

Burnett said he advises his patients to turn off computers and televisions to restore their mental health.

“I think we can take so much of something before the human brain just like peters out and says, ‘I can’t keep up,'” neuropsychologist Sanam Hafeez from New York told Axios.

“We are in an unprecedented time that we have so many collective stressors going on, and the rapid fire of media coverage of these policy changes, it’s just adding to that broader collective stress,” added Daniel Relihan, a researcher at the Silver Stress and Coping Lab at University of California, Irvine.

In October, Halperin predicted that if Trump won the election it might be the “cause of the greatest mental health crisis in the history of the country.”

He told Tucker Carlson:

I think tens of millions of people will question their connection to the nation, their connection to other human beings, their connection to their vision of what their future for them and their children could be like. And I think that it will require an enormous amount of access to mental health professionals. I think it’ll lead to trauma in the workplace … I think there’ll be alcoholism. There’ll be broken marriages.
