    Everybody is getting this wrong, and they want to blame the FAA or American airlines. I am a licensed pilot, and I've been an FAA Tower chief. I am really retired, and I'm so glad this was not my shift. The Blackhawk screwed up "Pat25" the controller says, "Do you have visual on the crj and the Blackhawk pilot says afirm, and the controller says pass behind the crj, and he just ran right into their side. The controller does not have visual, and radar is only a tool. This man gets to go home to his wife and say I handled that flight and now they are accusing me of making it crash. I know who this man is. Robin, please support him. It's not his fault. He did his job.

      Oh the commission was just recommended to try to prove their standards didn't warrant a change of policy, it was of course going to take some time. It is not something Trump wanted to allow because the admission was that the standards were lowered to satisfactory, not highly qualified, which means an investigation had no point to it, and the changes that needed to be made were needed swiftly. Obviously the control tower staff were not affected by whether a commission takes place or not in the immediate events of what happened, and neither the heads of management would have nothing to do with their chain of command, or qualifications to do their jobs.
      An investigation will likely show that the helicopter pilots were unable to spot the plane, and that they were focused on another plane in the distance, and the air traffic control was not specific to which plane. None of this is the fault of Trump or anyone's ability to do the their jobs.. it appears just to be a rare accident.

    As a former pilot, I feel that Mr. Trump needs to know when to SHUT UP and let the investigators do their work. It will never happen, for this incident or for anything else that will occur over the next four years.

    Every family that lost someone should sue the government for their loss. Especially because of Trump’s insensitive reaction to this tragedy.

    My employer hires disabled people. We have a blind guy who does basic paperwork sorting.
    We are all human and deserve (and should) get out the house everyday and feel like we are making a contribution to society.

    Too bad CNN doesn't want to discuss airport congestion or what air traffic controllers must do to qualify for the job at Washington airport. This is what you get from corporate media.
