This stupid motherfucker never misses a chance to be a stupid motherfucker.

I would not be surprised at all if he was told who was the pilot of the Army Helo, what training had already been accomplished and the pilot's and co-pilot's qualifications and experience levels. New guys? Female? Transgender? Immigrant/black/brown?

There's a video on the web from a webcam that caught the collision; the American Airlines flight was turning to final and was close to alignment with the runway. The helo was on a course perpendicular to the flight path of the America Airlines aircraft at 200 feet and from the video, it looks like he didn't see the blazing landing light of the AA flight and flew right into it at a 90 degree angle. The AA flight crew was focused on the landing area probably inside of 1/4 mile and at 200 feet. They probably never knew what hit them broadside as there's a huge explosion when the two aircraft collided.

I have a spin class with a Jet Blue Pilot. He said that both aircraft were equipped with collision avoidance systems that warn of impending collisions. The helo's system was off is what he heard. He wasn't sure about the AA flight but it is standard practice to turn that on in the descent/pre-landing check lists.

Here's my point. The media will jump on any action or comment by Trump and couch those in derogatory terms so as to make him look bad. I'm not defending anything he said. He'd have been much better off not making any other comments about the accident except it was tragic and the appropriate government authorities are on the scene and will be looking into what happened. But no. Trump is a dip-shit and does stuff like this to frame his comments in his politics. Nothing to see here other than the accident is a tragedy.

Well regardless Trump is a Nazi.

No need to pace. I can't keep up with the stupid shit this jackass says and does.

The worst part is there are mouth breathers all over the country agreeing with his dumb ass>

Says the man totally dependent on the government for his income.

The way to save Social Security is to allow only one government pension.

The military has not identified the helicopter pilots yet so far as I know but did mention they were both experienced and had over 1500 hours of flight time each.

It blows my mind that you would have helicopters flying around an insanely busy airport at night.

....... and that the pilots may have been wearing night vision goggles.

[Dr. Strangelove]

Interesting. If you exclude oil, we actually run a trade surplus with Canada. But Trump may grant oil an exemption.

We gotta protect our maple syrup producers.

Or as CGVT would say, FUCK YOU! YOU STUPID FUCKING FUCK!!!!!!

The crash is beginning to sound like a few people made some minor errors that snowballed into a tragedy.

Air control was not fully/properly staffed

Military pilots were unsure of the traffic around them.

Commercial pilots didn't see the Helo and may have misinterpreted Air Control's instructions.

Its just a sad situation all around. And I absolutely hate that its being politicized. There are at least 64 families right now that don't give a rats patoot about politics.

fuckin' Nazis
