In response to a fatal collision between a passenger jet and Army helicopter, President Trump criticized the U.S. air traffic control system as "obsolete". He pledged to replace it with a new computerized system, citing concerns over air traffic controller staffing shortages. This crash, killing all 67 aboard, marks the deadliest U.S. air disaster since 2001. Trump's comments come amidst ongoing investigations and calls from industry leaders for improved technology and safety measures in aviation. Transportation Secretary Duffy confirmed ongoing conversations with tech officials, including Elon Musk, to upgrade the system.
