Something Missing...Not Good...
Donald Trump has questioned the circumstances surrounding the tragic American Airlines plane crash last night.
At least 19 bodies have been recovered after a PSA Airlines jet, operating as American Airlines 5432, collided mid-air with a military helicopter at around 9.00pm local time.
What Donald Trump has said about the American Airlines plane crash
US President Trump said he has been briefed on the 'terrible accident', and has thanked first responders for their 'incredible work.'
However, the 78-year-old believes it 'looks like it should have been prevented'.
"The airplane was on a perfect and routine line of approach to the airport," he wrote on his social media site Truth Social.
"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 added: "What a terrible night this has been. God bless you all!"
No mention of sympathy for the families involved.
