DC Edit | US air disaster was avoidable

Deccan Chronicle  

It wasn’t the best of months for human safety. Early media reports had it that the air collision was caused by the sheer folly of understaffing the air traffic control system of the Reagan airport whereby one controller was handling both the incoming plane and the helicopter. “Can you see the plane?” was the most foolish question an air traffic controller could have asked as the helicopter strayed from its approved flight path and the aircraft was swinging into another runway after change of landing plans. To blame ‘diversity, equity and inclusion’ policy as the reason for the horrendous crash that sent victims plunging into the icy waters of the River Potomac in Washington was something that only Donald Trump could envisage, converting a moment of tragedy into one of high farce, arising maybe from the depths of political polarisation of the US. The real cause lay in an ATC controller being allowed to leave before the night hours got to the point of lesser air traffic and one controller directing two craft in close vicinity to each other.
