She has taken 20 minutes to say I’m not telling you anything today.

That is much more responsible, and sensitive to family members, though wildly uninformed speculation (as spewed out by the Cheeto-in Chief).

+1, the point of a press conference today is simply to express condolences, explain next steps, and possibly answer procedural questions about technical stuff like who has jurisdiction over various aspects of the incident.

There are few answers to be found less than 24 hours after an event like this and there is little to be gained in rushing to provide them until you have had time to do some due diligence.

There is zero reason to engage in free ranging speculation and placing blame as the president and his lackeys did. It helps no one.

I don’t know anything about him but that was a great response. Thoughtful, measured, open minded, data driven

Perhaps they haven't been able to get in touch with next of kin yet? They need to do that, before releasing names.

A lot of posters here don't understand that the 67 people who died have families that deserve compassion and that takes precedence over their hateful politicizing of this horrific tragedy. If only there was some national leader who was in charge of offering wisdom and empathy during crises like this.

You seem to not understand that it’s human nature to want to know who was piloting the helicopter that collided with my friend’s aircraft.

It’s a basic fact that will get out, so I can wait.

The more we wait, the more they seem to be hiding things.

Human nature also wants to know the why and what happened here.

It has not yet been 24 hours. There has been no formal identification of any victim list with the exception of families who chose to speak publicly.

Your post is the hallmark of crazy conspiracy thinking.

Likely a nice smart guy, only did 2-3 years of service. That could be a good or bad thing.

Did he go to Yale law school with Vance? Did they overlap or grad around the same year?

he seems to have very little military experience to be head of the army but not a complete idiot or bad person. Which makes him like the Jesus of the Trump Admin.

Name of the crew chief and one pilot have gotten out, but not via official channels for that reason.

NP. Everything I've seen about the crew chief is also sourced to his high school JROTC unit, so I'm guessing they announced it when they heard rather than the military selectively releasing information.

again, "they" did not officially announce anything, families publicly reported their loved ones death and reporters followed up with their own research/digging.
