White House: Trump has ‘raised the bar for our nation’s aviation safety’

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Tuesday that President Trump has “raised the bar” for commercial airline safety after Trump took credit for the safest year of airline travel.

Sanders was asked whether former President Obama deserved credit for there being no fatal passenger airline crashes in the U.S. since 2009.

"The president has raised the bar for our nation's aviation safety and security,” Sanders told reporters during a White House press briefing, echoing comments made earlier in the day by fellow spokesman Raj Shah.

Sanders touted Trump’s announcement of a plan to “modernize air traffic control,” which stalled in Congress, and new “enhanced security measures” put in place by the Department of Homeland Security.

“The president is very happy that there were no commercial airline deaths in 2017 and we hope that that trend continues well into 2018 and beyond,” she said.

In a tweet Tuesday, Trump took credit for 2017 being the safest year on record for commercial aviation. source

The fact there has been no fatel airline crashes in the US since 2009 cannot be credited to either Obama or Trump, since most of the actual in flight safety measures that have prevented such fatal crashes were the direct result of NTSB investigations of previous crashes, fatal or otherwise, since each investigation leads to either mechanical or procedural changes in the air line industry.
So, the reporter that asked if Obama was responsible for the zero crashes during his administration is just as much an idiot as the brainless wonder that said that Trump was responsible for last year's zero incidents.
FYI, considering the amount of equipment, staff and infrastructure involved in modernizing air traffic control in the United States, I must point out that after the last major airline crash in which any part of that system needed drastic change or overhaul took 12 years to plan, implement and bring online.
I mean lets look at the numbers:
521 manned air traffic control towers handling take offs and landings, including ground traffic radar which allows tower controllers to know exactly where aircraft (and airport vehicles) are before take off and after landing.
65000 individual pieces of equipment located at airports, and various locations along air traffic routes
25 air traffic control centers with individual radar systems- not included in the 65000 pieces of equipment
160 Terminal radar control facilities, each with its own radar system - not included in the 65000 pieces of equipment
14050 Air traffic controllers that would have to be trained on new equipment

This is yet another example of why it think someone needs to ban Trump from Twitter.

North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un just stated that the “Nuclear Button is on his desk at all times.” Will someone from his depleted and food starved regime please inform him that I too have a Nuclear Button, but it is a much bigger & more powerful one than his, and my Button works!

And why do morons like you (who claim to be "libertarian") favor silencing anyone's freedom of speech. Especially someone who has no other voice, and is constantly the focus of overwhelmingly (95%) negative coverage by a deranged media that has disavowed even a thin facade of objectivity
