"‘Our landings in the Cherbourg-Havre area have failed to gain a satisfactory foothold and I have withdrawn the troops. My decision to attack at this time and place was based on the best information available. The troops, the air and the Navy did all that bravery and devotion to duty could do. If any blame or fault attaches to the attempt it is mine alone."

That's actually quite disturbing. That our continuity of government partly relies on an idiotic flight path between the major airport runway and oncoming jet traffic.WASHINGTON, Feb 1 (Reuters) - The Black Hawk helicopter that collided with a passenger jet in Washington on Wednesday was on a training flight along a route core to a seldom-discussed military mission to evacuate senior officials to safety in the event of an attack on the U.S., officials say.
The military mission, known as "continuity of government" and "continuity of operations," is meant to preserve the ability of the U.S. government to operate.
The New York Times is reporting that the helicopter may have been flying outside of its approved flight path and higher than it should have been.
Trump= REAL PRESIDENT
I doubt the controllers even know the altitude of the Blackhawk, as I'm pretty sure it either doesn't have a transponder or it's off for mission they were practicing.I guess the question is, how did the Blackhawk get too high and off course without air traffic control warning them to get back on course and at the right altitude? Why didn't ATC act with more urgency to get the helicopter out of the way of the jet? It seems to me asking "do you set the jet" is not exactly a bold course of action. Why not tell the copter to drop to the proper altitude?
I suppose we can question how the helicopter was so far above its approved altitude and so far off course without noticing too. This is just a horrible tragedy all around.
Have to correct myself a little, this was not the SAME guy that couldnt answer any aviation questions as potential head of FAA. That person was so awful they had to withdraw him.By the way this same clown is another classic example of a DEI hire himself. He couldnt answer any aviation based questions when he was hired.

But this guy is another classic DEI move himself as well.
