Back in November, BlazeTV host Stu Burguiere set out on a mission to discover why “close calls” — narrowly avoided commercial airliner collisions — surged to nearly three per week in the past year. Blaze Media released his documentary, “Countdown to the Next Aviation Disaster.”
His investigation exposed several disturbing facts about America’s Federal Aviation Administration. From the use of outdated technology to DEI hiring policies that weed out the most qualified would-be air traffic controllers, leaving towers and radar rooms severely understaffed, it was evident that disaster was on the horizon.
Regrettably, disaster struck on Wednesday, January 29, when an American Eagle domestic flight collided in midair with a United States military helicopter in its final descent to Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport near Washington, D.C., before crashing into the Potomac River. All 67 passengers aboard both aircraft have been declared dead.
