Washington. After the horrific aircraft accident at Washington DC on Wednesday, US President Donald Trump gave a surprising reply when he was questioned about going to the accident site. His statement is now becoming viral on social media.

When a journalist asked Trump if there was any plan to go to his crash site, he said, “I have a plan to roam but not of the site, because you tell me, what is the site?” Water? You want me to swim? “

The accident occurred on Wednesday night when an American Airlines Jet collided with a black Hawk Helicopter near Reagan Washington National Airport. The aircraft had 64 people and three military personnel in the helicopter, all of which are feared dead.

Visuals showed that after hitting the helicopter, the aircraft turned into fire shells and both fell into the Potomac River. According to media reports, officials said that no one is expected to survive and till Thursday evening (local time), 40 bodies were recovered from the cold water of the river.

Earlier in a press briefing earlier, Trump linked the accident to ‘Diversity Recruitment’ in the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) under Obama and Biden Administration, although no investigation conclusion of the accident was released and he himself also claimed his claim. No details or evidence to support.

On Thursday, Trump signed two executive orders. One of these new FAA was associated with the appointment of Deputy Administrator, while in the other he ordered immediate evaluation of aviation security.

Meanwhile, investigators recovered two black boxes from American Airlines aircraft, as well as the cockpit voice recorder and flight data recorder. An initial report about the incident is expected to come within 30 days.
