Donald Trump faced criticism after attributing the cause of a fatal plane crash in Washington DC to diversity initiatives established by previous administrations. The crash, which claimed the lives of 67 people, occurred when an American Airlines plane collided with a military helicopter. Despite ongoing investigations, Trump speculated that Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) practices led to lowered safety standards at the FAA. This led to backlash against his claims, prompting a response from the FAA which emphasized its rigorous hiring qualifications despite its inclusive practices.
We do not know what led to the crash, but we have some very strong opinions.
Because I have common sense.
The FAA clarified in response to criticisms of its inclusive hiring policy in 2024 saying that new hires must reach 'rigorous qualifications'.
DEI practices refer to equity efforts, particularly in employment, to help make workplaces a safer environment for marginalized groups.
