Just 24 hours before the collision of American Eagle Flight #AA5342 & an Army #BlackHawk #helicopter near #ReaganNationalAirport on Wednesday, another jet trying to land there had to make a second approach after a helicopter appeared near its flight path, according to an audio recording from #ATC.
That plane, Republic Airways Flight 4514, eventually landed safely, flight tracker maps show.
@Nonilex This indicates that Trump's decapitation of the FAA was significant. A functioning administration would have escalated the danger at that point and prevented the actual crash.
