Around 9 pm on January 30th, an American Airlines flight carrying 60 passengers collided with an army helicopter near Reagan Airport, sending both the plane and helicopter down in the water in the Potomac River. There are 27 bodies recovered and as of now there are now survivors from the helicopter and plane.
Student Kaya Dengel said that his reaction to the accident was “super scared, I definitely thought it was an inside job by the Illuminati and lizard people. Alex Jones predicted this would happen 3 months earlier so we shouldn’t really be surprised, if it wasn’t lizard people I think it was aliens.” He also thinks we should improve air traffic safety and “we should come together for the innocent people and people mourning there lost ones, make sure nothing like this ever happens again.”
As of today 2/7, CBS News stated that the Army helicopter had a safety system turned off. Military aircraft are allowed to fly with the safety systems off. Senator Ted Cruz expressed his opinion on the accident saying,”unless there was a compelling national security reason for turning it off, that does not seem justified and in this instance, this was a training mission so there was no national security reason for ADS-B to be turned off.”
All 67 people on both aircrafts have sadly died and President Trump has stated he will improve air traffic control systems after the crash.
