2nd crash in days! Trump blames Obama, Biden & the democrats & calls for air traffic controllers to quit jobs

Air traffic controllers were emailed by the Trump administration urging them to quit their jobs and take mass “buyouts” just 24 hours after the D.C. plane crash.

They were among hundreds of thousands of federal workers sent the email at 8.30 p.m. Thursday to push the extraordinary offer by Trump’s aides to get civil servants to quit en masse. 

The email dropped almost exactly 24 hours after an Army helicopter crashed into an American Airlines jet as it came into land at Reagan National Airport, killing 67 people. 

Just one air traffic controller was doing the work of two controllers at the time, early reports have suggested. “We encourage you to find a job in the private sector as soon as you would like to do so,” stated the email sent by the Office of Personnel Management, The New York Times reported. 

The late Thursday night email follows up on an earlier one which offered federal workers other incentives to abandon their job security, such as eight months of pay if they obliged by February 6. 

On Friday, speaking about his plan for federal workers during a press conference, Trump stated: “It’s our dream to have everyone, almost, working in the private sector, not the public sector.” 

Following Wednesday’s plane crash, Trump shifted the blame for the tragedy to a number of figures, including previous administrations, claiming: “I put safety first. Obama, Biden, and the Democrats put policy first.” 

The president of the National Air Traffic Controllers Association, Nick Daniels, told the Times that it is “not yet clear” how the resignation program would come into effect.

In a devastating incident, a Learjet 55 air ambulance crashed shortly after takeoff from Northeast Philadelphia Airport, near the Roosevelt Mall. 

The aircraft was transporting a pediatric patient from Shriners Hospital, along with five others, when it plummeted into a residential area, igniting a massive fire and causing significant damage to homes and vehicles. 

The crash resulted in at least six confirmed fatalities, with emergency services quickly responding to the scene. 

Among the victims were young ice dancing partners Angela Yang and Sean Kay, whose promising careers were cut short. 

This tragedy has not only led to community mourning but has also reignited discussions on air safety protocols for medical transport flights.

While the identities of all victims are being confirmed, the incident underscores the critical need for stringent safety measures in emergency medical aviation.

On January 30, a military helicopter and passenger plane collided mid-air in Washington D.C. 67 people were feared dead and authorities say there were no survivors.
