The Aftermath of a Tragic Airline Accident
A tragic airline accident at Washington National Airport resulted in the loss of 67 lives, marking the deadliest domestic commercial airline crash in 16 years. There were discussions on President Trump's response, which shifted from delivering condolences to placing blame on diversity and inclusion hiring initiatives within the FAA.
