Melania Trump finally spoke out about the plane tragedy that occurred in Washington, District of Columbia, on Thursday afternoon.
It has been reported that Melania Trump has spoken out about the plane disaster that occurred in Washington, District of Columbia, on Wednesday evening.
After a little less than twenty-four hours had passed since the catastrophic disaster, the First Lady of the United States of America made her statement on Thursday afternoon.
On Wednesday night, a Black Hawk helicopter from the United States Army and an American Airlines jet from Wichita, Kansas, were involved in a collision at Ronald Reagan National Airport. After the tragic crash, nobody seems to have made it out alive.
According to reports, it was reported that there were sixty passengers on board the American Airlines flight, along with four crew members. The chopper allegedly carried three members of the United States Army.
A brief message was sent by Melania Trump on Thursday to the public.
"My heart goes out to those impacted by last night's terrible tragedy. I pray for those who so sadly lost their lives, their families & loved ones, & the first responders who have worked tirelessly through the night. May they find strength and solace in this difficult time," Melania wrote on Thursday.
President Donald Trump, who is married to Melania Trump, has been making statements on his social media platform, which is called Truth Social.
"The airplane was on a perfect and routine line of approach to the airport. The helicopter was going straight at the airplane for an extended period of time. It is a CLEAR NIGHT, the lights on the plane were blazing, why didn't the helicopter go up or down, or turn. Why didn't the control tower tell the helicopter what to do instead of asking if they saw the plane. This is a bad situation that looks like it should have been prevented. NOT GOOD!!!" he remarked.
On Thursday, President Trump made a commitment to the Americans on Truth Social.
His administration will, according to what he posted establish the greatest possible standard for aviation safety.
Trump went on to add that flying in the United States is quite safe, and he reinforced his claim by claiming that American skies are the safest in the world, and that his government will work to maintain this status quo.
