President Donald Trump commented on the American Airlines (AAL) plane crash on his Truth Social platform, saying: “The airplane was on a perfect and routine line of approach to the airport. The helicopter was going straight at the airplane for an extended period of time. It is a CLEAR NIGHT, the lights on the plane were blazing, why didn’t the helicopter go up or down, or turn. Why didn’t the control tower tell the helicopter what to do instead of asking if they saw the plane. This is a bad situation that looks like it should have been prevented. NOT GOOD!!!” An American Airlines regional jet last night collided with a military helicopter near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport outside of Washington, D.C.
