TEAMS ARE RACING AGAINST TIME

WORLD CHAMPIONS WERE ON THE PLANE
Additionally, it has been learned that the crashed passenger plane included Russian figure skating athletes Evgenia Sishkova and Maxim Naumov, who are world champions in pairs figure skating. The fate of the athletes after the horrific accident is still unknown.
TRUMP BLAMES THE TOWER
Following the accident that shook the USA, Trump blamed the control tower in his latest statement. In a post on his Truth Social account regarding the accident, Trump stated: "The plane was on a perfect and routine approach to the airport. The helicopter was heading towards the plane for a long time. It was a clear night, and the plane's lights were on; 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 looks like a bad situation that should have been prevented. Not good!"
