The White House has “strong opinions” of what led to the midair collision near Reagan National Airport, President Donald Trump said in a briefing today, APA reports citing CNN.
“We did not know what led to this crash, but we have some very strong opinions and ideas, and I think we’ll probably state those opinions now, because over the years, I’ve watched as things like this happen,” Trump said.
“We think we have some pretty good ideas, but we’ll find out how this disaster occurred, and we’ll ensure that nothing like this ever happens again,” the president added.
The head of the National Air Traffic Controllers Association said in a letter to its members posted online that it is “premature to speculate on root cause.”
