Summary
Days before the fatal mid-air collision near Washington, D.C., Donald Trump eliminated the membership of the Aviation Security Advisory Committee, a key aviation safety panel.
The committee, established after the 1988 PanAm Flight 103 bombing, had advised on air travel security but was left without members following Trump’s move.
The crash, involving an American Eagle jet and a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter, left no survivors.
Critics question whether Trump’s decision weakened aviation oversight and potentially contributed to the tragedy.
This is just like how he gutted the pandemic early warning program, called PREDICT in China just before COVID hit.
Or how he put a science-denying antivax fool in charge of the Department of Health and defunded all scientific research just before the great bird flu pandemic of '25?
Bird flu and tuberculosis pandemics of ‘25
Didn’t forget polio and measles. The antivaxers want those to make a comeback, too.
This time we are even starting early, only not sure if it will be bird flu, ebola or turbeculosis.
