Following a tragic midair collision that resulted in no survivors, Trump pledged to investigate the incident and prevent future occurrences. He appointed Chris Rocheleau as the acting Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) administrator to enhance aviation safety. The disaster was noted as the first mass casualty incident involving a commercial aircraft in the U.S. in 15 years. Trump’s remarks sparked controversy, particularly his insinuation that diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives affected aviation safety, a claim dismissed by critics who highlighted the need for factual investigation before drawing conclusions.
Trump vowed to 'find out how this disaster occurred' and ensure nothing like this ever happens again following the midair collision that left no survivors.
Driving the news, Trump announced he was appointing Chris Rocheleau as acting Federal Aviation Administration administrator after addressing the first mass casualty event involving a commercial aircraft in the U.S. in at least 15 years.
Rep. Rick Larsen stated that it 'never does any good to speculate on the causes of aviation accidents before we have the facts and the details,' referencing Trump's premature conclusions.
Trump criticized prior administrations for prioritizing policy over safety, claiming 'I put safety first. Obama, Biden and the Democrats put policy first,' suggesting DEI initiatives hampered aviation safety.
