Listen "What Are Your Thoughts on What Happened in DC on Wednesday"
Episode Synopsis
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.Thank you for listening! As always, you can contact me at [email protected] with any questions, comments, or concerns.
