President Donald Trump has attributed last week's tragic collision between a passenger jet and an Army helicopter to what he described as an outdated computer system utilized by U.S. air traffic controllers. The incident occurred on Jan. 29 when an American Airlines flight and an Army helicopter collided near Ronald Reagan National Airport, resulting in the loss of all 67 individuals on board both aircraft.
During a speech at the National Prayer Breakfast, Trump expressed his dismay at the occurrence of the accident and emphasized the need for a modernized air traffic control system. He criticized the current system as being antiquated and pieced together, advocating for a comprehensive and state-of-the-art replacement.
