On Wednesday evening at approximately 9:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, a Black Hawk military helicopter carrying three soldiers collided with American Airlines Flight 5342, a commercial jet carrying 60 people and four crew, as it was attempting to land at Ronald Reagan National Airport in Arlington, Virginia, causing both to crash into the Potomac River just outside the US capital.
As of Thursday afternoon, 28 bodies have been recovered and federal authorities believe that there are no survivors. The search continues for the remains of the other 39 dead and for data recorders and other instruments that might provide information about the causes of the disaster.
The tragedy reveals both the ongoing decay of the US infrastructure and the even more rapid decline of the political leadership of the American ruling elite. The crash was the first mass casualty air disaster in the US since 2009 but follows a series of dangerous near-misses and narrowly avoided “accidents” that are a byproduct of the systematic overloading and deregulation of the air traffic system over many decades.

Before the DC Plane Crash, Lawmakers Expanded Flight Traffic

Months before last night’s fatal aircraft collision, lawmakers dismissed safety warnings and approved an airline-backed measure that increased flight traffic at Washington, DC’s already overstressed airport — the site of the disaster.https://jacobin.com/2024/01/boeing-spirit-safety-regulations-airlines

So the collision was nothing to do with diversity after all….

Only idiots and imbeciles can believe that
The helicopters pilots were white women and highly trained
More than 75% of the Air controllers are white men and white women
The secretary of defense is a white man who replaced a black man with a long military career and the other one was a newsman and a torturer in Guantanamo Bay prisons,
Most Air controllers employees received an email proposal to quit or be fired
The same pretext used during WW 2 at the airforce with the black pilots and they became the best P-51 pilots and now they want to erase them from the books of history and all the reforms and gains obtained by the civil rights movement. Jim Crow is back again, and the precedent separated but equal is back again too
