Staff Reports
A tragic plane crash made headlines near Reagan National Airport, yet the local media seems more focused on bashing former President Trump. In a bizarre twist, a regional American Airlines jet met its doom when it collided with an Army helicopter while approaching the runway. The jet had just flown in from Wichita, Kansas, carrying over 60 passengers, all of whom found themselves in dire circumstances as both aircraft plunged into the Potomac River.
Eyewitnesses were shocked as webcam footage captured the harrowing moment of the collision, turning what should have been a routine landing into a scene from a disaster movie. It’s enough to make anyone rethink their next flight—especially with the local news coverage that seems more preoccupied with political attacks than with the devastating situation unfolding just a stone’s throw from the nation’s capital.
As reports continued to emerge throughout the night, authorities confirmed that recovery teams were no longer looking for survivors; the grim reality set in that no one had made it out alive. Remarkably, as this heart-wrenching story unfolded, the local press deferred to its usual routine of anti-Trump tirades, burying the more significant story in favor of political finger-pointing.

In an unexpected move, The Washington Post relegated the airplane disaster to a mere footnote, instead opting to headline five separate articles slamming Trump’s administration. It begs the question: how did a horrific airline disaster not make the front page? The media’s priorities seem fully misplaced, as tragedy strikes while they obsess over grievances against a man no longer in office.
To add insult to injury, those lost included not just regular folks but professional figure skaters from both the United States and Russia. President Trump weighed in on the incident, suggesting it was a disaster that could have been avoided. While his statement might resonate with some who sense government incompetence in aviation oversight, others will probably chalk this up to another opportunity to vilify him rather than seek genuine solutions. In the end, the combination of tragedy and media malpractice leaves a bitter taste, ensuring this is not the last time the nation will reflect on crucial priorities gone awry.
