AA5342 Collides with Helicopter

[mjt57]

The FAA has placed temporary restrictions on helicopter flights in that area.

But not defence. (sorry, defense).

I’m going to refrain from any judgement until after reading the preliminary report

Trump has announced the copter was not in approved space (too high).

Yeah… Trump has announced a lot of things…

(Not saying his info is necessarily wrong in this case, but geez, how about leaving it to the relevant authorities to carry out the appropriate investigations and release the formal report rather than continuously shooting your mouth off?)

IMHO that person is incapable of such behaviour

Because… the world has changed. People are used to getting instant news. Trump has said he wants to be more open, and more transparent. We shouldn’t have to wait months or years for information.

If he knows the helicopter was too high, I don’t see an issue disclosing that.

Yea, but that's his trademark and a stark contrast to #46.
He gets frequent briefings from NTSB, so he is going to make comments. If he stayed silent he would be criticised for not caring.

I actually prefer that he keeps talking, unrefined as it is.

The problem I have is how do I know which .00001% of what he says has the slightest element of truth and is not just a lie, here-say or made up along the way.

That’s where you make a judgment call.

One commentator said while he disproves Trump speaking before an investigation has taken place, on the other hand he said people have a right to know information which may materially affect their decisions regarding travel and safety.

Trump is providing, in real time, that information. I think it’s useful.
