Hindustan Times  

Donald Trump thinks the crash between an American Airlines passenger jet and the Black Hawk military helicopter “should have been prevented.” In the wake of a tragic mid-air collision at Reagan National Airport, Donald Trump raised questions about the preventability of the incident involving an American Airlines flight and a military helicopter. Transportation Secretary says the DC plane crash was ‘absolutely’ preventable Trump had previously addressed the incident, saying, “I have been fully briefed on the terrible accident which just took place at Reagan National Airport. I am monitoring the situation and will provide more details as they arise.” Vice President JD Vance also took to social media to urge people to “say a prayer for everyone involved in the mid-air collision near Reagan airport this evening. We’re monitoring the situation, but for now, let’s hope for the best.” American Airlines confirmed that Flight 5342, travelling from Wichita, Kansas, to Washington, D.C., had 60 passengers and four crew members aboard when the accident took place.
