NBC News correspondent and aviation reporter Tom Costello directly linked President Donald Trump, Elon Musk and DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) to Delta Airlines crash in Toronto, Canada.
Delta Flight 4819 from Minneapolis overturned on the runway at the Toronto Pearson International Airport on Monday upon landing. All 80 passengers and crew are alive and accounted for but three are reportedly in critical condition.
But Costello without evidence claimed the the crash will “yet again, raise the concern about FAA staffing — air traffic control staffing” due to the Trump administration’s reforms to the aviation agency.
“And yet, as you know, there has been this talk about maybe staff cuts at the FAA as a part of President Trump’s effort to trim down the federal workforce. And yet, as you also know, the FAA has been complaining for years that they are understaffed in critical job positions, especially air traffic control,” Costello said, adding, again without evidence, that DOGE reforms to federal aviation could lead to more plane crashes.
Unbelievably, Costello even mentioned that the flight was under the purview of “a Canadian air traffic control tower and this is under Canadian authority once it crosses the border.”
In other words, Trump and Musk’s reforms to remove “woke” DEI policies within the FAA have no bearing on this crash which occurred in Canadian airspace.
Additionally, Costello also noted that after speaking to an airport insider that the plane doesn’t appear to have anything to do with staffing shortages or cuts.
“I was having a conversation with somebody today about whether air traffic control in America’s being affected by the staff cuts. So far, not to their knowledge and yet other positions related to maintaining critical equipment appeared to have been cut.”
This comes just weeks after a Black Hawk military helicopter collided with a commercial passenger jet mid-air near the Reagan International Airport in Washington, D.C. as the plane was attempting to land, killing all 67 individuals involved and raising questions about the FAA’s air traffic control policies and the military’s flying protocols in busy airspace.
A small private plane also crashed into a Philadelphia neighborhood shortly after takeoff days after that, resulting in horrific scenes of chaos that were shared on social media.
