Donald Trump has sparked conspiracy theories following a plane crash in Washington DC, raising questions about the incident’s circumstances.
Washington DC: A plane crash has caused a lot of buzz. Donald Trump is stirring up conspiracy theories about it. Rescue teams are searching for survivors at the crash site.
The crash involved an American Airlines flight with 60 passengers. It collided with a Black Hawk military helicopter near Reagan National Airport around 9 PM local time.
Local officials haven’t confirmed any fatalities or survivors yet. Emergency crews are sifting through debris in the Potomac River under tough conditions.
Initially, Trump shared a standard statement. He said he was “fully briefed” and thanked emergency services for their quick response.
But then he posted more on social media, questioning why the plane crashed. He claimed the flight was on a “perfect and routine line of approach.”
On Truth Social, Trump said the plane’s lights were “blazing” as it landed. He wondered why the helicopter didn’t move up or down to avoid the crash.
He also questioned air traffic controllers, asking why they didn’t guide the helicopter better. His comments have fueled more conspiracy talk.
Meanwhile, local officials are still gathering facts about the incident. DC Fire and EMS Chief John Donnelly said boats found aircraft debris quickly.
However, he noted that they still don’t know if there are survivors. More information will come as teams continue their work.
He promised updates, saying they would reassess the rescue operation in the morning.
