Yesterday, the United States suffered the first fatal collision of the U.S. passenger plane within 16 years. American Airlines flight 5342 is a regional jet passenger aircraft, which originated from Wichoto, Kansas. Before the landing of Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport in North Virginia, it collided with a military helicopter on the Poto Mark River. Dozens of people are worried about dying on Tuesday night. The authorities have not yet determined the reason for collision. The National Transport Safety Commission will investigate leadership, hoping to determine what happened and prevent any similar accidents in the future.

There is no reason to believe that the Trump administration has played any role in the tragedy of the federal government or the chaos they introduced by the federal government or they introduced. However, the success of regulators in improving commercial aviation is one of the great victories in the past half century. In the first week of office, the Trump administration did take an irrelevant step, which shows that the Cavaliers ignore the consequences of these efforts: it rejected all members of the Federal Aviation Safety Consulting Commission. Essence

"The Aviation Safety Commission was authorized by Congress after the 1988 Panam 103 explosion of Lockerbie in 1988. Technically speaking, this will continue, but no members can check airlines and airports. The Associated Press reported last week. "Before Tuesday, the organization includes representatives of all major groups (including airlines and major unions) in the industry, and members of the group related to victims related to the Panam 103 bombing. Over the years, most of the group's suggestions have adopted the group. It's ".

My colleague James Fallows is a long -term pilot that has been reported on aviation for decades. He pointed out yesterday that the demolition committee was "not part of the tragedy tonight", but it is believed that it is this that this is this it is Without the passage of a victory without meaning, with the passage of time, agencies will erode security, and the United States should retain the revenue of the last decades. Fallows pointed his reader to the list of members of the former board of directors and wrote "this is cooperation; it combines public, private, military, civilians, academic and other institutions to summarize knowledge; it avoids blame; but it unremittingly concentrates unremittingly In the lesson of learning.

I agree that a smaller federal government may reduce refueling for some of the Trump administration. My hope is that the bureaucratic agency is doing less and doing well.

However, American aviation security is the jealous of the world-this is a few things Once In recent decades, under the current situation of Trump's destruction, it has made great progress in recent decades. What is the purpose? Perhaps the Trump administration has some convincing reasons, that is, the dissolution of the Aviation Safety Consulting Commission has not yet shared. If so, it should be said.

Instead, officials of the Ministry of Land and Safety issued a blur and boring statement to the Aviation International News: "The Ministry of Land and Security will no longer tolerate any consulting committee to promote the attempt to destroy its national security tasks, the agenda of the president or the agenda of the Constitution. Right. "He.

In order to conduct due diligence, Congress should request better answers, because the airline safety order, and because of the compulsory board that deprives all members, it seems to be technically frustrated with its legitimate power. If the judge of Congress believes that the board of directors is still useful, it should use the power of the wallet to force it to recover instead of succumbing to the president.

Will Republicans who have a majority of seats in the House of Representatives and the Senate will be jealous of the power of the legislature and strive to fulfill their supervision responsibilities? Maybe not. It is the crime of two parties to the president from his own party, but the abandoned crimes have held duties of legislators. Although Trump undoubtedly had a popular task for his agenda, no voters sent him to Washington to end the Aviation Safety Committee. He was not grateful for this move.

Trump quickly made a lot of changes. If the Republican legislators will not investigate whether this legislator is to check whether it is arbitrary or not considering, it is difficult to imagine that it will prompt them to fulfill their supervision responsibilities-most Congress members are common leaflets.
