Trump Vows to Improve Air Traffic Control System After D.C. Plane Crash
Briefly

President Trump addressed Congress about the need to overhaul the United States' aging aviation safety infrastructure in light of a recent midair collision that claimed 67 lives. He criticized the billions spent on modernizing existing systems, advocating for a completely new setup instead. Trump asserted that the recent crash could have been avoided with better tools, while investigations by the National Transportation Safety Board and FAA continue. Compounding this issue, Elon Musk's team is reviewing the outdated technology at the FAA, drawing concerns from lawmakers regarding potential conflicts of interest.
We should have had better equipment, Mr. Trump said. We don't. We have obsolete equipment.
The crash would never have happened if the United States had the right equipment.
