What Are Your Thoughts on What Happened in DC on Wednesday
Manage episode 464091493 series 3599042
In this episode, I talk about some of my initial thoughts on what happened on January 29 at Reagan National Airport.
I give some of my observations from the initial news reports as well as some information from people I use to work with. I also talk about some of my own experiences with working jets and helicopters in the same vicinity.
When an incident like this happens, it shines a bright light on just how much responsibility we have as controllers to ensure that everyone who flies through our airspace gets home safely. 99.5% of the time they do. That number truly is a miracle when you think of the sheer numbers of aircraft that are worked every day in the United States.
I may be updating this podcast in the future as more information is made public. For now, our prayers go out to all of the families affected by this tragedy.
