[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Trump isn’t to blame, Biden isn’t to blame.  Neither is ATC.  They followed protocol, even if short staffed, they still did exactly what they should have done.  I don’t see how the finger can be pointed anywhere other than directly at the helicopter at this point. [/quote]

It can absolutely be pointed at the powers that be that allowed the ATC towers to be half staffed; those that have pressed for DCA to be so overloaded with flights; and the military geniuses that decided that the busiest hour at DCA is the time to do night training exercises that cross the flight path (rather than waiting until midnight when there are no flights).

But is the “training exercises” thing just a canard? This helicopter had dropped off a VIP someplace (likely Langley) and had to get back to its base. So they call the return flight a training exercise, even though it’s completely unnecessary - essentially some VIP’s desire to avoid traffic and sit in a black SUV for a few minutes longer led to the deaths of 70 people.

Do you actually know someone was dropped off at Langley? Or was that an early on guess on this thread of guessing? [/quote]
