I actually did find an archived website listing the disabilities allowed during trumps time in office.

Once again something he did himself is now "bad" and he neeeever did it. Lmao. Its like his recent comment on the awful deal with Canada. "That last deal was bad, whoever did it was awful." Spoiler alert it was him.

Anyway, as you can see: intellectual disabilities is listed. I think it is confirmed no one was disabled though, involved. It's also confirmed they were soread thin and overworked thanks to potus.

Nice try... LMFAO

The only archive dates that matter are at the beginning of the timeline, or when there are significant changes.

No argument that 45 was left a hot mess when he took office. 44 made significant changes to DEI during the final months of his administration, including a Presidential order to hire 100,000 Targeted Disabilities to take effect during the five years following his time in office.

Between fighting corrupt undermining politicians, fake news, false accusations, fraudulent impeachments, and a devastating pandemic, 45 wasn't left much time to sweep out the garbage created in the FAA by the previous administration.

As 47 has said, although DEI may or may not have played a role in the crash, there certainly is no room in the control tower or the pilot's seat for anyone who can't perform the job ≥110%+. Accepting anything less from a person who was hired primarily based on their race, gender, orientation, or a target disability, instead of their intellect and functional abilities is simply putting lives at risk.

Fortunately, America has demanded massive change and 47 is kick'in ass.

I said I had receipts...

I like the part where you confirm trump kept it in place. Now try looking up the FAA 2020 to 2029 plan implemented under trump that The FAA’s Aviation Safety Workforce Plan for the 2020-2029 period which said the FAA’s Office of Aviation Safety would, in the 2020 fiscal year, “continue to promote and support the hiring of people with disabilities and targeted disabilities.”

Also during Trump’s first term, in 2019, the FAA announced “a pilot program to help prepare people with disabilities for careers in air traffic operations,” saying that “a key focus for the FAA’s Office of Civil Rights is to identify specific opportunities for people with targeted disabilities, empower them and facilitate their entry into a more diverse and inclusive workforce.” The FAA continued to promote the pilot program in the latter half of 2020, near the end of Trump’s first term.

This is beyond who started, and who "simply allowed it to continue." The fact is, all these policies he is raging about were active and expanded on in his term, and he is simply now using it as a scape goat, when the far more likely culprit is thr gutting of the work force he implemented. Nice try kid.

AFAIK, that report was incorrect - two were arrested after leaking airport CCTV to CNN, that is the last video shown on the first post in this thread. No body recovery.

According to the criminal filing documents, the younger guy is the one who leaked the crash video to CNN. The older guy was caught with video on his work phone of body recovery from CCTV. Apparently, the footage was never released.

Court records say Savoy used a work-issued phone to record a video of victims being recovered after the collision.

On Feb. 2, "it was reported to the MWAA Police Department, Criminal Investigation Section that an employee with MWAA Police Department, Public Safety Communication (Dispatchers) had video recorded/taken pictures of video of the deceased that were involved in the aircraft collision," a complaint states.

The complaint continues: "The videos/pictures were taken on the accused's cellphone from a computer that was logged on an MWAA restricted network to view video surveillance. The accused recorded videos of the deceased bodies being transferred from a first-responder boat onto a staging area."

Thanks for the correction!

Seems that the original media reports did not tell the full story.
