Radio warnings of Trump's helicopter went unheard before close call with passenger jet, report says
A report says radio warnings from Marine One's crew went unheard by airport officials just minutes before President Trump's helicopter took off on August 4 and narrowly avoided a collision with a passenger jet. The incident occurred at Reagan National Airport.
A report has revealed that the radio warnings from Marine One's crew were ignored by air traffic control prior to President Donald Trump's helicopter approaching a commercial passenger jet on August 4 at Reagan National Airport. The crew made repeated attempts to notify airport officials that the helicopter was preparing to depart, but their warnings went unheard. As a result, the helicopter flew perilously close to the passenger jet, raising serious concerns about air traffic management and safety protocols. An investigation into the incident is ongoing.
