Donald Trump Explains Why There’s Sudden Surge in Plane Crashes in America—It Couldn’t be More Absurd!
In recent weeks, the United States has seen an unusual surge in plane crashes, prompting concerns and questions from the public. President Donald Trump recently shared his thoughts on the matter during an interview with Fox News, offering his own theory for the increase in aviation accidents.
Trump dismissed the idea that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) or its current head, Chris Rocheleau, were to blame for the crashes. He stated, “That has nothing to do with the department. That was a small plane, it would have happened if you had a big department or a small department as you understand. They have spates like this.” He added that such incidents occur in clusters and then subside, suggesting that the recent crashes are part of a natural cycle rather than a systemic issue.
The President’s comments come amid a series of high-profile aviation accidents. On **March 9, 2025**, a small plane crashed in Pennsylvania, landing on parked cars and bursting into flames. Five people were hospitalized, but their conditions remain unknown. Earlier, on **February 6, 2025**, a small plane crash in Alaska killed all 10 passengers on board. In the same month, two flights collided at Arizona’s Marana Airport, and a Delta Airlines flight from Minneapolis to Toronto flipped during landing, catching fire but allowing all passengers to escape safely.
In **January 2025**, a commercial jet preparing to land at Reagan Airport in Washington, D.C., collided with a U.S. military Black Hawk helicopter, resulting in no survivors. Just two days later, a medical jet traveling from Philadelphia to Mexico crashed, killing all six people on board and one person on the ground.
Trump’s theory that these crashes are part of a natural “spate” of incidents has been met with skepticism. Critics argue that the frequency and severity of the accidents warrant a deeper investigation into potential systemic issues, such as maintenance standards, pilot training, or air traffic control protocols. The FAA, under Rocheleau’s leadership, has faced scrutiny, especially since he was appointed by Trump after the resignation of Mike Whittaker, who served during the Biden administration.
As the public and aviation experts call for answers, it remains to be seen whether the Trump administration will take further action to address the underlying causes of these crashes or continue to attribute them to random occurrences..
