Maybe they had explosive diarrhea. You have no idea the circumstances. [/quote]

Shouldn't they have a backup?[/quote]

They'd just received an email asking them to resign. They are already understaffed. But maybe you can ask the Peter Thiel boy toys helping Elon Musk break into the government computer systems.

They have access to classified info already, so maybe the 19 yo who goes by "bigballs" can help you or maybe Luke Farritor can let you know why they didn't have backup.

After all, they are in charge at OPM now!

[/quote]ATC is not allowed to resign.  They aren't part of that deal that's being offered.  [/quote]

As someone else pointed out, they received an email suggesting they resign.

This crash is Trump’s fault.

The crash was not due to an ATC staffing issue (which has been short for YEARS).  We already know several of the multiple errors that have led to the crash, and none of them are a problem with ATC.  But you know that..[/quote]

Not the PP to whom you're responding, but: An ATC in the DCA tower was handling both plane and helicopter traffic, earlier in the evening than was standard practice, apparently because another controller left work early. The two types of aircraft were supposed to be handled by separate ATCs until 9:30 p.m. But on that night, a solo ATC was handling both about an hour earlier than normal. This is according to reporting in the Post and many other outlets.

No one is saying yet whether this change caused or even affected the crash at all; that is for the investigators to decide. But it is foolish and extremely premature of you to insist at this time that ATC staffing and/or actions had nothing to do with events that night.[/quote]

It can be done by two, but combining the roles to one person is also within the current safety standards of FAA.  No safety protocols were broken [/quote]

NP. Yet dozens of people were broken into pieces and scattered in the Potomac. Go to hell.

I’ve been avoiding this discussion and other real news out of a sense of powerlessness. We know exactly what can happen when government is deliberately hobbled from operating correctly. This is exactly the kind of cost when Republicans get what they want. This is exactly the goal ultimately of the Reagan Revolution and shrinking the dependent baby of government until you drown it in a bathtub. People die in hideously unnecessary ways. I hate every soul who voted for this. It’s your fault along with the fascistic drug-addicted sht stains running things now.[/quote]

The crash was in no way Trump or his administration’s fault.  You have a lot of misplaced anger [/quote]

You don't know that.   The helicopter was a critical part of this accident. What were they doing? Who were they transporting? Why were they flying in that place at that time where they hit the plane?  Would they have been doing that if Trump had not won the election?[/quote]

This. And this is why the VIP prior flight info is not publicly known. There’s a reason for it. What I wrote was g.d.’d accurate.

There’s a bigger picture, and it’s not a conspiracy. The current government is the crudely presented logical extension of the smaller better government the architects of Reaganism have been pushing for since 1980. God I wish this site encouraged people to see the forest some times. There is a cost to “lean staffing” and “efficiency.” [/quote]

Agree. When even Trump's big mouth isn't blabbing about a topic, you know there's a coverup. This is the man who revealed the names of Navy SEALS and CIA officers.

So, since he isn't talking about this, it must be bad and make him look bad.

Like the assassination attempt. This is a man who literally cannot stop himself from saying stupid shit yet somehow he manages to be silent on this.
