Staffing concern could be 'small piece' of puzzle, NTSB member says
Concerns around staffing at the Reagan Washington National Airport air traffic control tower the night of the crash could just be a "small piece" of the puzzle in understanding what went wrong, a National Transportation Safety Board member investigating the incident told NBC's "TODAY" show this morning.
J. Todd Inman, an NTSB member investigating the crash said the investigation into what exactly happened that night is still very much underway.
Asked to address concerns raised by a preliminary FAA report on the crash that said staffing at the Reagan Washington National Airport air traffic control tower was "not normal," he said it was still unclear what role that might have played in the incident, if any.
"That is one small aspect of the overall investigation," he said, adding that having low staffing levels at an airport would not necessarily be an indication of a problem. "At times you’ll have fluctuations of not only flights but also air traffic control," said Inman, the 48th Member of the NTSB, was sworn in March 13 of last year, according to the safety board's website.
The investigation, he said, would "take as long as it takes" to help ensure that "no one has to suffer what those families are going through now."
Two of the Blackhawk pilots were identified as Andrew Eaves and Ryan O'Hare
They're saying the 3rd is a woman but no name yet. And it hasn't been confirmed publicly which of the 3 was actually flying the Blackhawk
Her podcast interview was released the day of the crash
Again this is not confirmed but MAGA is running with it as some sort of DEI / trans suicide mission
EDIT: There is a Jo Ellis on FB trying to dispel this rumor

The connotation is that DEI is Black people or just non-White people so Trump knew what he was making those statements that the fault of the plane/helicopter crash was DEI; he was obviously race-baiting or racist-baiting.
See people I know you’re sick of me saying that, but that helicopter made a V line straight towards that airplane and they can’t say they didn’t see that big old thing. I don’t know what the fuck what’s going on but something was going on

Man I ain’t gonna lie, when situations happen and it take forever to produce the names of people who’s involved, that dont set well. It’s kinda upsetting to me.
Like I understand there’s certain steps but when it come to planes, trains or ships… there’s normally check in locations.
For as subways or city buses that’s a little different.
Military yall know everything,
Yea they were talking about this on Sirius XM about a month ago
They said people have been complaining left and right about launch take offs too
Olympic skater Scott Hamilton calls loss of figure skaters 'unthinkable'
Astha Rajvanshi
Olympic gold medalist Scott Hamilton grieved members of the figure skating community, including promising young athletes and coaches, who were killed in Wednesday night’s plane crash near Washington.
“I can’t wrap my head around the last 36 hours… the loss is just beyond description. My heart is shattered,” the former figure skater told NBC’s “TODAY” show this morning.
The figure skater recalled spending time with many of the crash victims at the figure skating championships, held days ago in Wichita, whom he said formed a “very tight-knit, very close-knit, very wonderful, caring, supportive community.”
That included his friends, Russian coaches Evgenia Shishkova and Vadim Naumov, who won a world championship title together in 1994. “They were amazing champion skaters that wanted to build their professional lives in America,” Hamilton said, adding, “When you’re in skating, there are no national boundaries.”
Hamilton mourned the loss of “so much talent in this country” alongside the passing of two-time Olympic champion Dick Button, widely credited with revolutionizing the sport, who died Thursday at the age of 95.
“What's happened [in Washington] and the other loss that happened yesterday, the passing of the greatest skater of all time, Dick Button, it’s just been beyond anything I can handle, honestly,” he said
Will be watching in class with carr in the morning. I'm sure he knows her.
This orange MF has been try to paint a picture of blame on everyone he can think of with no proof and as he does it more and more shit comes back to shit he has done during his past and current administrations. His very first tragedy as president and instead of making it about consoling families and doing things better he makes it about himself and the blame game. This MF got one million plus killed during his 1st 4 years this one might be even worse.
That’s it is time to force dr truth to wish these guys a long healthy life and term… the truth curse needs to be unleashed not now but right fucking now
EXACTLY
Promptly putting out facts neutrally is essential when dealing with an Administration that would imply "no good blaaaacks" had something to do with mass casualties. Can't be trepid or play footsies with these folks.
The world will be a better place when he transitions.
A training exercise that the Blackhawk didn't see the plane in front of them
Some say they understand how it can happen while others are like wtf…
Planes colliding at air shows, is kinda understandable TO ME but anywhere else. Rise questioning
With how Trump handled that press conference along with all the shenanigans he has done since taking office.
There is a good chance this incident is gonna cause Americans to pause and not make plans on flying commercial while Trump is in office.
If this happens, it will send a shockwave thru out the US travel industry because Americans have lost confidence in American air travel.
Why people voted for this Orange Moron is beyond comprehension and basic common sense.
Spring Break is in 2 months….we will wait and see…
