Recent airplane incidents and close calls nationwide have raised concerns of safety protocols, and in a news conference on Thursday, President Donald Trump questioned if Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) may be partly to blame for the crash near Reagan National.

Sixty-four people aboard a commercial airliner died Wednesday night after it collided with a military helicopter midair near Reagan Washington National Airport. Both the American Eagle jet and Army Black Hawk are in the Potomac River.

The Army Black hawk helicopter that collided with a passenger plane near Washington, D.C., was drilling mysterious 'continuity of government' plans.
