Why I Think the DC Crash Could Have Been Prevented By Air Traffic Control: Interview with One America News | Stephanie Myers E305
About this episode
Could better air traffic control have prevented the tragic DC mid-air collision? In this special episode, Rich Somers joins One America News to discuss the devastating crash between an American Airlines passenger flight and a military Black Hawk helicopter—and why systemic issues within the FAA, outdated technology, and staffing shortages may have played a role.
Rich, a former 11-year air traffic controller, breaks down:
- What the recorded flight tapes reveal about the moments leading up to the crash.
- The dangers of controllers working multiple positions at once due to staffing shortages.
- Why outdated FAA equipment and hiring practices create unnecessary risks.
- How better training, technology, and policies could help prevent future tragedies.
With firsthand experience controlling some of the busiest airspace in the world, Rich provides an inside look at what went wrong—and what needs to change to make the skies safer.
