  1.  @redbird444  "It takes many years to train an air traffic controller. Trump should have hired enough in his first term. If he had, there would be enough full-capability controllers now." And if Obama would have trained air traffic controllers, Trump would have them in the first term. We could do this all day...

  2. Pilots ignored orders for VFR. That blame is not on the tower.

  3. @ SURE, we COULD blame the past three Presidents, but we won't. Just Trump. Because it's ALL his fault, right? RIGHT??

  4. @ Way to go! You figured it all out! I'm actually not a Trump supporter, so well done with that patented 'balanced' optics of yours. Point out where I defended Trump. We'll wait. Who is blinded by bias again?

  5.  @gemmster14  Not true. The ATC warned the pilot to avoid the jetliner on final approach and keep visual distance. Do your homework.

  6.  @zaram131  Then find out who he was flying with. They have not released the name of the third crew member. Why not?

  7. @ fair enough.

  8.  @Michael-cx1zi  unidentified female trainee apparently.

  11.  @JohnVelcofsky  You sure? I heard it was running dark.

  12. @ I actually just saw different footage from the side view, and the helo was running lights up. I was wrong. Sorry everyone.

  13.  @Mymusickb  Pilot IGNORED ATC orders. How is it ATC's fault?

  14. Helo was flying dark. Zero lights and transponder - and 100+ feet too high. CRJ pilots would never have seen the chopper.

  15.  @jaz8935  Train noobs for NGV flights AWAY from the airport. It's not rocket surgery.

  16. Yes. Suicidal ideation means 'no wings' in commercial or military aircraft.

  17. @ because meritocracy matters.

  18.  @TheREALDocRabbit  " This was clearly the ATC's fault and FAA is directly at fault " Well then, mystery solved! Thanks for that insight. You DO know that the helicopter was reported to be off flight path, flying dark (no lights at all) and had just been instructed by ATC to avoid the big giant plane on final approach and to keep visual flight distance, right? All ATC's fault. Got it.

  19.  @vociferon-heraldofthewinte7763  Exactly. They are both at fault.

  20.  @SkyLightsUFOs  Umm...do NVG training AWAY from commercial airports, or on a military base?

  21. It was NOT a trans pilot! Everyone knows it was one of the Lizard People. Or the Reverse Vampires!! Get your crazy straight!!

  22. Helicopter was a Transformer?

  24.  @illumonic9026  I know. Selling spam on a feed about a massive tragedy. It's repugnant! I'm going to her website now to let her know what a POS she is.

  25. @ "no we can't keep it up all day. Because it stops at Reagan." I'm sure some of you can't keep it up all day. I've heard there's blue pills for that. Best of luck!

  26. Not broken. Noob crew ignoring ATC commands does not mean the whole system is broken.

  28. @ There were TWO pilots, but you knew that, right?

  29. We all know why.

  30. Helo was flying dark. Zero lights. PAT25 never would have seen it.

  32. People with suicidal ideations are not given pilot training. Ask my friend how he knows.

  33.  @davidb2206  "he co-pilot/trainee at the controls was FEMALE and name has NOT been released. Why?" ...and there it is.

  34.  @Jacqueline-v8q  Helo pilot ignoring VFR is not on the ATC. Argue that nonsense all you like.

  35. General is a scumbag that wants to ignore the Constitution and people with a conscience like Snowden get in his way.

  36.  @swskitso  They can train for night vision missions, but they can do it AWAY from the airport, or on a military base. Not rocket science.

  37. VFR orders were given and ingnored, Padiwan.

  38.  @EricFatzinger-yl6pf  well then. That clears THAT up. Eric says no one is allowed to discuss it anymore.

  44.  @gpwcowboy  the 9-11 thingy where the military did NOT scramble military aircraft? That one? Even though those airliners had been off flight path for over an hour? THAT 9-11 thingy? The 19th amendment isn't the problem. Ignorant, arrogant voters are. Thanks for proving that point.
