President Trump Expresses Concerns About The Potomac Plane Crash
Truth Social ^ | January 30, 2025 | President Donald J. Trump

Donald J. Trump

@realDonaldTrump

The airplane was on a perfect and routine line of approach to the airport. The helicopter was going straight at the airplane for an extended period of time. It is a CLEAR NIGHT, the lights on the plane were blazing, why didn’t the helicopter go up or down, or turn. Why didn’t the control tower tell the helicopter what to do instead of asking if they saw the plane. This is a bad situation that looks like it should have been prevented. NOT GOOD!!!

As he should. And certainly it’s a message to the investigators that they’d better have answers for those questions.

Not to give in to conspiracy theories, but I have the same questions. Was it a terrorist act?

Insurance adjusters catergorize collisions as:

“Preventable or non-preventable”.

DJT has given the correct answer.

The only remaining question is:

“Accidental or INTENTIONAL”?

The passenger manifests will be revealing.

Just heard about this a few seconds ago so I am uninformed but am worried somehow the blame will end up on Trump and/or Hegseth in media.

I remember when I was working for the Marine Corps Reserve, there was an article in their flight magazine (IIRC it was a joint Navy / MC flight magazine) about a helicopter pilot falling victim to vertigo (as I recall), and after hovering ever so briefly, flew the chopper right into the water.

It’s been way over 40 years ago that I read that magazine article. Perhaps this pilot was disoriented? Dunno.

Horrible. I just watched that dashcam video.

Biden created many terrorist cells in America with his importing of criminals and terrorists from terror supporting countries.

They will certainly try to do that.

Whether they succeed is another matter, especially once the details of who was flying the helicopter come out.

Let us hope that it's not due to "DEI" hires in the control tower.

Already has, but they were not in the helicopter setting the frequencies. Not a d&%$ thing any administration could have done in this case.

The legacy media needs to be ignored.

I saw the video of crash that’s being widely circulated
How did the Blackhawk not see that plane, flashing lights etc!!?
It looks like it t-bones the plane at high rate of speed, maybe too late to pull up or down to avoid?
It does look suspicious

If the sun went supernova tomorrow they’d blame Trump for ditching the climate change crap.

It’s a narcissist thing.

Been about 40 years since I saw the F-100 static display that sat in front of CBPO at Homestead. AFB.

since helicopters need someone to actively fly it
even with autopilot assistance.
That looked pretty “On purpose”.
I wonder which Moslem group will take credit for it.
We should purge ourselves of the minority that believe
that killing infidels earns them a place in heaven.

Who was the pilot of the helicopter? Was there a co-pilot on the helicopter? Once you find out the answer to those two questions, you might be able to figure out whether it was deliberate, or an accident that could have been prevented.

Oh, they’ve already started the Trump/Hegseth/Duffy blame game.

I was looking at that static display in the video

I think that might be an F-105 Thunderchief (Republic)

It had me scratching my head for a second there
