Do we know her name yet?

[Standing up for 🇺🇸🇺🇸 @jtoler20]

That really is @SenWarren !!!!!!

[Election Wizard @ElectionWiz]

We’ve identified her!

[Standing up for 🇺🇸🇺🇸 @jtoler20]

Hey Clay, is that @SenWarren in disguise? Sure does look like her a little and definitely acts like her.

[Clay Travis @ClayTravis]

MSNBC viewer is furious dad gets a foul ball for his kid, demands ball. (Credit to Marlins for later hooking up the kid). But not a good week for adults at sporting events.

[Standing up for 🇺🇸🇺🇸 @jtoler20]

Is that @SenWarren
Sure does look like her.

@TheMikeBagley @PPistone Mike, Pete, we all want to know....who was the last to win 4 races in a row in the cup series? #TMD

[Standing up for 🇺🇸🇺🇸 @jtoler20]

Sign him up! He can play somewhere with that accuracy.

[Standing up for 🇺🇸🇺🇸 @jtoler20]

Yes! I've been wanting this for many years. If you're against what he's doing to find the abuse and fraud, then you are part of the problem.

[Robert Griffin III @RGIII]

Dear World, this is a safe space.

Donald Trump has made some massive and sweeping changes since becoming President of the United States again with Elon Musk leading the DOGE.

Do you like what they are doing?
Why or why not?

@GregoryDip21941 Carl was my favorite. MTJ was as well once he took over the 19.

@jeff_ruff One of the best concerts I've ever been to. It was probably 15 years ago, but he played forever. He played all of his songs and then started playing Buck Owens' songs.

[OnlyBangers @OnlyBangersEth]

This is the best Disney interaction I've ever seen 🥹🥹

[Standing up for 🇺🇸🇺🇸 @jtoler20]

No! You should be required to shoot them!!

[Red Eagle Updates 🦅🇺🇸 @RedEagleUpdates]

Yes or No?

[IhamLaust @IhamLaust]

If you're on the right blaming the crash on DEI hires before bodies are cold, you're trash.

If you're on the left, immediately blaming Trump, you're trash.

These AMERICANS and SOLDIERS just died. This is not a political opportunity, it's a tragedy. Fault will out.

@NormieUtah @ClayTravis Traffic Controller should have given a more precise direction to look. Aircraft at your 3 o'clock would have been helpful rather than just a general visual.

[Standing up for 🇺🇸🇺🇸 @jtoler20]

@couz206 @visionik @ClayTravis I think the Air Traffic Controller was supposed to ask the pilot of the helicopter if he sees the plane in a certain direction. Just asking if he sees another aircraft, but not the location of said aircraft is a mishap on the Traffic Controller. I could be wrong.

[Standing up for 🇺🇸🇺🇸 @jtoler20]

But did they ask where the pilots saw the passenger planes? There are multiple planes flying in and out at the same time.

[Dan News @dannews]

I've cut together the air traffic control recordings from around the time the Washington DC crash involving #AA5342 took place. Part of it does appear to have controllers asking a pilot if they have "the CRJ in sight" - Then controllers can be heard reacting to the explosion.

Why are we even performing Black Hawk military training around passenger planes?

[Mark McEathron @Mark_McEathron]

I was a Blackhawk helicopter crew chief in the Army.

I was even a Flight Instructor. This means that I trained Crew Chiefs and ensured that they completed all training annually to maintain their flight ratings.

One massive responsibility we had was to be the eyes for the pilots. We handled airspace obstacle avoidance and communicated potential risks to the pilots.

Quite often we would train as a flight of 2 or 3 birds flying in formation.

It was my job to have my head out the window and tell the pilots that the aircraft behind us was "staggered right at 3 discs". (We measured close distances in terms of the diameter of our rotor discs).

I can tell you after doing this for hundreds of hours, even when you know EXACTLY where a Blackhawk is, and you have night vision goggles on, it is EXTREMELY hard to SEE the aircraft.

These birds are designed to be hard to see at night.

The red and green lights on the side get lost in the lights of the city below. The only "lights" on top of the aircraft are called "slime lights" because they are a very very very dim green.

Incredibly difficult to see.

If you are above the helicopter, even if it has it flood light or spot light (2 different lights) on, underneath it, it is still hard to see the bird because all of that illumination is below the airframe.

Another thing people should know is just how busy things can get on the aircraft.

Pilots are talking to each other about what they are observing on the instrument panels. This means neither are looking outside the aircraft.

The crew chief might be conducting a fuel check, where we would also be looking up into the cockpit at the fuel gages and the clock.

This CAN lead to moments where all 3 people on the aircraft are all looking inside the aircraft.

It's not supposed to happen that way. We are supposed to announce when we are "coming inside" or are "back outside" the aircraft. But that doesn't always happen.

Also, in cities like DC, the radio traffic is constant and can make it hard to filter out what is important for you to listen to.

Checking instruments, doing math, reading checklists, and listening to multiple radios all at the same time is HARD. Mistakes happen.

Anyone out there telling you that they find the aircraft collision to be suspect, have NEVER been in a flight crew and they have ZERO idea what they are talking about.

Ignore them all. Better yet, mock the hell out of them.

999 times out of 1000 aircraft incidents always come down to a series of pilot and crew errors.

Humans are involved. They aren't perfect.

Tonight, my heart and mind is with the families of those involved in this tragic event.

I won't join the chorus of idiots making speculations.

Untrue. It's been around $77/barrel for a while now. Please research before you post. Some people will actually believe you. #fakenews

Oil just dropped from $115 per barrel to $77 per barrel. 🇺🇲
