More than 60 innocent lives were taken after a Blackhawk helicopter collided with a passenger jet while landing at the Ronald Regan National Airport in Washington, D.C. – and former Presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden might be to blame.
A former air traffic controller came forward to reveal how the Obama administration waged war against the aviation industry – firing thousands of qualified people for being “too white.”
A preliminary investigation conducted by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) revealed that staffing at the Ronald Reagan National Airport air traffic control tower was INSUFFICIENT for the time of day and traffic volume when the collision occurred.
But the former air traffic controller Michael Pearson revealed to Fox News that this short staffing was nothing new, and that it was “attributable to the Obama administration.”
“The system has been under attack due to DEI and the FAA bowing to wokeness since 2010, since the Obama administration,” Pearson said.
“The lack of staffing is directly attributable to the Obama administration terminating the lists of eligible, well-trained air traffic control statements in 36 universities across the country in 2013 because they were too white.”
He added that the Obama FAA also rolled out an “immunity program” which prevented people form being held accountable for their mistakes so as not to hurt their feelings.
“The FAA also, at the same time, implemented an immunity program. So you think you’re seeing legitimate statistics? You’re not. In the old days, before 2010, the immunity program, if an air traffic controller got two airplanes too close, too many times, it would be decertified and retrained,” Pearson said.
“Now, they’re not. All they have to do within 48 hours of being noticed or being investigated for a potential separation error, they’re called operational errors in the FAA, the controller simply has to avail themselves of this program that gives them immunity.”
In other words, this insane Democrat-created immunity program PREVENTS the FAA from being able to retrain people who commit potentially fatal errors, even if they do so repeatedly.
“The FAA cannot retrain these people. If somebody has a repetitive instance of malfeasance or lack of competency, the FAA, because of this immunity program, cannot rectify the situation. They have to basically allow the person to remain in the same position,” Pearson said.
He added that “The union and the FAA working together” have used “this program to gerrymander the statistics of near-matter collisions.”

In 2024 alone, the FAA reported that Reagan National Airport witnessed at least eight near-midair collisions due to a shortage of air-traffic controllers on the eastern seaboard, which also forced a reduction in the number of flights in the region.
This time, however, the result was much more severe – and it all falls back on the Obama administration.
The deadly DC crash is the most clear-cut example of why DEI-focused hiring practices are legitimately dangerous for the country and need to be eliminated FOREVER.
