I think they were fighting, I’m just guessing but there were 2 toxic males yelling at a lesbian because she was 200 ft. too high & in the path of 2 planes. She had worked in the Biden Whitehouse & likely got a coveted position based on a recommendation, so she felt entitled. I can almost hear her screaming “You have no right to talk to me like that” as they hit the plane. They scrubbed her social media so the public won’t get a sense of what kind of person she was. Surely the military wouldn’t have a female that hates toxic males who’s prone to emotional hysterical outbursts in stressful situations even if the Whitehouse said to. That wouldn’t happen.
The proximate cause of the crash was two aircraft occupying the same space at the same time. The mission to prevent that falls to Air Traffic Control - which must have failed for the scenario to unfold. Was the controller incompetent, negligent, distracted or overtaxed at the moment? A similar incident (close call) had occurred just the previous night. The fault tree then blossoms out from there and includes actions by both the instructor pilot as well as the pilot herself - who should have been alert to approaching aircraft as they were passing directly into the approach pattern of that airport. Also: why is the Army conducting this type of training mission during regular traffic hours at Reagan? That airport closes to traffic at 10pm for noise abatement. Why not schedule this mission just ONE HOUR later?
The DEI angle has, from what I've read, only applied to the staffing challenges at the FAA. I haven't read a peep about the Army pilot being incompetent due to hiring preferences, but then I don't doubt there are some who just can't help but to indulge their worst instinct.
The DEI thing hit her for being female, possibly being gay, having been a social aide in the (gasp!) Biden time, and her social media presence being "mysteriously" scrubbed. I don't think any bars were lowered for her. I agree with you about the questions awaiting answers. Everything is not about politics and culture wars.
It was my understanding that the family requested her name not be announced immediately. I can certainly understand wanting to inform other family members before it became national headlines. FOX on line first story I read after the crash noted the flying hours of both pilots so my thoughts didn't start with a DEI mindset. I'm willing to wait to see what the investigation reveals. There are already enough real victims in this very sad event.
I think the biggest problem with the investigation is how long it will take. Memories fade, people get distracted by other things, and there is the "what now?" factor - does the finding lend itself to something actionable or just blame someone? I didn't start with the DEI part, either, but it became a focal point, unfairly for now I think.

How does an instructor pilot let the person at the controls go 200 feet too high? Someone has to find an answer to that, among other questions.

I'm looking forward to the day when DEI has been purged from our memory.
