Another Air Tragedy in USA
In the News
A girl and her mother have died, along with at least four others, in an air ambulance crash – the USA's second aircraft tragedy in two days.USA
I am not one for conspiracy theories but can't help wondering if their air communications are somehow being tampered with in an effort to cause chaos.

I dread to think what nonsense Trump will come up with for this new crash. No doubt Biden or Obama are somehow directly responsible for it with their policies according to Trump or maybe he will put it down to employing ethnic minorities who according to him don't seem to know what they are doing much of the time and not safe in air traffic control jobs.

BonzoBanana he does seem to have crazy ideas in amongst his more lucid ones. Just when you think he has learned some lessons from the past he puts his foot in it...again!

BonzoBanana DEI isn't necessarily about race, skin color, or gender, but rather if the person is qualified and/or talented to do the job.
For example, Kash Patel is of Indian descent, a brown man and he'll be running the FBI.
So you see, it's not about firing people if they have don't have light skin. It's about firing incompetent people who should have never been hired for those roles who have cost lives.

PhilipMarc I take the view that where you have job situations where you have very low representation of the general population ratios of people from different backgrounds then they should strive to improve this. For air traffic controllers there is full training and there is still a careful recruitment process which people have to pass. My issue is with lets say the London police force where they lowered standards to allow more people of ethnic minorities to apply, i.e. so people with a criminal record could apply. I am in no way for lowering standards of police recruitment but I am for making the police more ethnically diverse. If one conflicts with the other I would definitely go for people without criminal records. If this means more women in support roles from ethnic minorities who are far less likely to have criminal records then so be it. There is absolutely no reason not to have people from ethnic minorities in air traffic control.

It happens when DEI hires are put in charge, this was bound to happen. It's a surprise it hasn't happen sooner and Britain will surely follow by doing DEI hires, too.
Blaming President Trump for the incompetence of people who were hired for roles they weren't qualified just won't work this time.

PhilipMarc I am sorry to be ignorant but don't know what DEI hires is. But no one but those involved should blame a head of state, what next? The head of a country being blamed for a death in an operating theatre?

I've just seen the new videos of the crash & impact, shocking, this shouldn't be happening in 2025

Iv read several times that Trump fired staff including the head of the US transportation security administration last week. If true and there's been two plane crashes since...surely it suspect

Glitterandgold It's standard practice in the USA for heads of most departments to be replaced on every change of administration so not at all strange . Of course it is referred to by the US press as "firing" but not the case just normal turnover . You could liken it to us getting a new Home Secretary , Chancellor , Foreign Secretary etc on our change of government last year .

Glitterandgold it's not true, they were not fired, just replaced, a new adminstration in the US will always replace it's staff, same as we do in the UK

intherealworld martinlufc5637 Fair dos. Admittedly is just read a few comments here and there. There's so much corruption these days I always just assume the worst of our leaders.

Glitterandgold yes they are all corrupt and compulsive liars, I don't trust a word they say anymore
