    They are doing a bit of push on these Self IMPORTANT bureaucrats that have to copter here and there so they can avoid traffic and manage their time better like the rest of society...You know the types mandating all electric due to climate change....good!

    Hhmmmmnot anything like The limited exposure from Biden in which he managed to call half the population potential terrorists, subjects of national concerns anytime something happened.
    I don't recall the uproar from some then.
    No doubt Trump has a thought control issue. His thoughts, which happens to be the same as many, come out at inappropriate times. They always have, right or wrong. Yes he needs to be told to get it out of his system before going to a mic.

    Why, kind words does not change the circumstances, it was a critical pilot error. Why is accountability so offensive? Trump could come out and placate but does not change the facts.

    DC copter was third such incident in a week, the other 2 planes were able to take evasive maneuvers. Despite what Hegseth said in his early press conference about helo being where it was supposed to have been This one was not only 200 feet above its 200 foot limit its was not even in the prescribed allowable corridor for it. Looking at flight pattern it seems the copter performed a last minute maneuver to assure impact. I wonder if anyone was radicalized and what the bodies will show. I'm not a conspiracy nut, but something was not correct. The explanation can't be - well this kind of thing happens ...

    More to that helicopter crash

    They were supposed to stay below 200 ft and the planes always above 350 ft

    You are looking at a 50 yd margin of error when it involves death of hundreds? Wth.

    No I actually think it was headed to another state. The company is out of Mexico? It had apparently had another jet crash 18 mos. Ago?

    The jet, with two pilots and two medical personnel, was on the way to Springfield-Branson National Airport in Missouri en route to its final destination of Tijuana, Mexico. Still means it had plenty of fuel on. Perhaps enough for the entire trip.

    Hunting group killed in Washington, D.C. plane crash.
    A group of seven hunters from a 10-man crew from the Washington, D.C. were all killed in the crash after hunting with outfitter Fowl Plains near Great Bend, Kansas, according to The Wichita Eagle.

    Three members of the crew weren't on the plane because they decided to drive home with their weapons and dogs.

    There names are as follows:

    • Jesse Pitcher, 30
    • Michael Stovall, 40
    • Steve Johnson, 45
    • Alexander Huffman, 34
    • Charles McDaniel, 44
    • Jonathan Boyd, 40
    • Tommy Clagett, 38.
    A GoFundMe has been set up to help the families, and it's raised more than $150,000 as of publication. Fowl Plains also announced the deaths of the hunting group, and shared photos of the men who were lost.
