Summary

After a mid-air collision between a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter and an American Eagle flight near Washington, D.C., Trump speculated on Truth Social, questioning why the crash wasn’t avoided.

Billionaire Bill Ackman suggested terrorism, though the FBI found no evidence of criminal activity.

Officials confirmed 67 people were onboard but have not reported fatalities. D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser urged patience as rescue efforts continue.

Trump’s comments have fueled conspiracy theories despite the lack of confirmed details.

    I thankfully walked out of the room, but overheard part of a press conference where Trump was ladeling the blame on the FAA’s DEI policies; how the FAA was hiring disabled people and that lead to this crash.

    I need to find an alternate radio station for my dog to listen to. No one should have to hear that bullshit.
