After the tragic American Airlines crash in Washington, DC, many Americans—including President Trump—are asking the same question: What on earth is happening in our skies? It seems that ever since the DEI takeover of America, our standards and commitment to excellence have crashed and burned—both literally and figuratively.

And now, there’s a chilling new update—something uncovered that is more disturbing than anyone could have imagined.

But before we get to that, let’s recap what happened on Wednesday night.

As you likely know by now, a commercial American Airlines flight collided midair with a US military aircraft before plunging into the frozen Potomac River.

As it stands now, authorities have confirmed no survivors. The AA flight, that started off in Kansas, had 64 souls onboard, and 3 souls were aboard the military Blackhawk aircraft. Also, reports indicate that several passengers on the flight were members of the US figure skating team, making this already devastating loss even more heartbreaking.

Dozens of people are dead after a regional jet collided with an Army Black Hawk helicopter Wednesday night over Washington, D.C., officials said, the nation’s first major commercial airline crash since 2009.

The aircraft went down in the frigid Potomac River, breaking into multiple pieces. The flight — which had departed from Wichita, Kansas — was approaching Reagan National Airport at the time of the collision, officials said.

There were no survivors in the crash, officials said Thursday.

We’re being told the crash was caused by an air traffic control error—blamed on so-called understaffing.

But is “understaffing” just another code word for a DEI failure?

Probably, yes.

Douglas Mackey—the young man targeted by Biden’s lawfare machine and convicted of “election interference” for sharing an anti-Hillary meme—believes this that this all boils down to DEI.

Doug is likely onto something. Take a look at this message from a highly qualified person who couldn’t get an air traffic control job because they didn’t check a “diversity” box.

Here’s a closeup of the message:

When you hire people based on skin color and sexual fetishes instead of merit, skill, and excellence, there will be consequences—dangerous, and sometimes deadly, consequences, and that’s not speculation: it’s reality.

We’ve been covering the DEI agenda for years—long before anyone else was even talking about it. This disaster has countless layers, but one of the most dangerous and reckless failures is unfolding in the airline industry.

Revolver has been warning about this for a long time, and now the deadly consequences of the left’s DEI obsession are playing out in real-time. A year ago, we sounded the alarm, calling out how the aviation industry had lost its way. Thanks to “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion,” the focus shifted from safety and excellence to virtue-signaling and mediocrity. And now, people are paying the price—some with their lives.

Revolver: 

The aggressive substitution of merit in favor of diversity has led to a so-called competency crisis, jeopardizing not only our ability to generate innovative technology but, in a more dire sense, our ability to simply maintain the proper functioning of various complex systems vital to our existence as a first-world civilization. Despite the superficiality of “diversity” as a matter of rhetoric, the reality of diversity as an ideological, cultural, and legal imperative is not merely cosmetic—far from it.

While a full treatment of this topic would run far outside the scope of this article, we have discussed elsewhere the manner and extent to which the affirmative action regime is embedded deeply into the law, economy, and every major institution in the country.

That story we published a year ago is, sadly, more relevant today than ever. And once you hear this latest disturbing update about the American Airlines crash in Washington, D.C., you’ll understand why.

As it turns out, just 24 hours before the deadly crash, there was another close call—this time between an American Airlines commercial flight and a U.S. military helicopter.

How does something like this happen twice in two days? And even scarier, how many times has it happened, that we don’t know about?

🚨 #BREAKING: Just 24 HOURS before an American Airlines flight collided with a Blackhawk at Reagan National Airport, ANOTHER American flight had to abort landing due to a helicopter crossing its flight path at the same airport

AA4514 can be seen on radar having to go around a make a second attempt, and is currently under investigation.

This should NOT be happening!

Even the mainstream media is covering this disturbing story.

WAPO:

On Tuesday night, just 24 hours before a deadly collision between a military helicopter and a regional jet over the Potomac River near Reagan National Airport, a different regional jet coming in for a landing at the airport alerted the air traffic control tower that it had to make a second approach.
The cockpit crew quickly reported the reason to the tower: A helicopter had appeared near the flight path.

“We had an RA with a helicopter traffic below us,” a female voice in the cockpit of Republic Airways Flight 4514 said at roughly 8:05 p.m. Tuesday, according to the audio recording from air traffic control. “RA” is the code for the automated emergency alert, known as a resolution advisory, that pilots receive when their aircraft is at risk of collision with a nearby aircraft.

The AA commercial aircraft has to make a sharp turn in order to miss the helicopter.

The WAPO story goes on:

Flight 4514, a twin-jet Embraer ERJ 175, had departed Bradley International Airport in Windsor Locks, Connecticut, at 6:50 p.m. Tuesday and was heading south along the Potomac River corridor toward its planned landing at National, flight tracker maps show.

But just as the aircraft neared Memorial Bridge, a male voice in the cockpit alerted the tower that they had to “go-around.” The plane took a sharp turn to the west, according to flight tracker maps of the aircraft’s path.

Flight tracking maps of aircraft traffic that night show an unidentified aircraft almost directly under Flight 4514 on the Potomac River as it was attempting to make its final descent into National, and just before the aircraft gives up on landing and instead makes a loop to try to make a second approach.
The jet landed safely at National at 8:16 p.m., the flight tracking records indicate.

So, what’s really going on here? Well, it could be a number of things, maybe some issues that haven’t even come to the surface yet.

From what we know now, DEI incompetence looks like the most likely culprit—inexperienced, mediocre air traffic controllers giving the wrong commands to helicopter pilots. That’s not just possible, it’s probable. Then there’s another piece of the DEI disaster—the refusal to hire qualified white candidates simply because they don’t check the diversity box, which could explain the staffing shortages.

And let’s not forget the military. Are these pilots truly as skilled and experienced as they should be? We know the military has gone full DEI, too, and now there’s serious questions about the crew.

 

Thankfully, President Trump is taking this disaster seriously and dismantling DEI piece by piece. But let’s be real—it’s going to be a long road to recovery, and things may get worse before they get better. The key is staying informed and remembering that the mainstream media’s job is to protect the left’s agenda at all costs. That means getting the full picture won’t always be easy.

But with Trump back in the White House, we’re finally back in the fight. Dismantling DEI needs to be a top priority because it’s rotting this country from the inside out.
