Flights have been grounded at Scottsdale Airport, Arizona, following a crash involving a smaller aircraft. As of the time of publication, the cause of the crash and details of any deaths or injuries are unknown. The airport has confirmed that the Fire Department “is on scene assessing the situation.”
The incident in Scottsdale follows a number of incidents in recent weeks. Last Thursday, a Cessna Grand Caravan carrying ten people was lost over Alaska, with everyone on board now confirmed dead. On January 31, a Learjet 55 went down over Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, destroying several homes and killing one motorist, along with everyone on board the aircraft.
Worst of all, a Bombardier CRJ700 airliner and a Black Hawk military helicopter collided over the Potomac River near Washington, D.C., on January 29, killing 64 people.
President Donald J. Trump, Vice President J.D. Vance, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth have suggested that far-left diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies have undermined aviation safety in recent years.
