DEVELOPING:
The #Trump Administration has started firing "several hundred" #FAA probationary employees who maintain critical air traffic control infrastructure, according to their union.
The move comes not even three weeks since the deadly #MidairCollision over Washington, D.C.
Based on no evidence except their misfiring neurons, the evil bastards of the GOP were quick to blame the tragic Potomac mid-air collision on "woke" or "womens" or "trans" or some such. The REAL investigation is pointing at a number of possible non-crew problems, possibly with the helicopter's altimeter, but accidental communications problems and procedural decisions may have contributed. Plane crashes are complex. The GOP is dumb.

I know a lot of right-wing political hay and conspiracy slinging is being made of the DC mid-air. If you have a serious interest in the crash, I suggest you start here:

#Historic: The #midaircollision of two #planes over the Grand Canyon in 1956, resulting in the #deadliest commercial airline disaster in U.S. history at the time, catalyzed pivotal changes in #aviation #safety and air traffic control. This tragic event underscored the need for a centralized air traffic system, leading to the creation of the #FAA.
