I shall remind you all again, as Pilot DAR has already reminded you all: keep the politics out of this.
If you can't post professionally on the aviation matters to hand, then don't post.
Whether or not the FAA has, or has not, fulfilled it's role is a functional, not political, matter if you can be bothered to constrain yourselves to the functional aspects of regulation.
You will not be warned again.
EDITED this post due to a link problem:
AA5342 Down DCA
Carry on.

The moderators have had a background discussion about this situation, and agreed to stand by the exclusion of political discussion as is the policy of PPRuNe. That said, this accident, and the investigation and introspection to come are going to run the ragged edge of political discussion. We want the aviation safety discussion, we don't want it lost in discussion and emotion about politics - we just don't have the page space! (and it's a lot of work to moderate!).
Posts referencing actual facts, reported from authoritative sources, and primarily on the topic of the accident, the investigation, and associated safety are welcomed here. If in doubt, just leave out the political part of what you're thinking to write, we all know that you have an opinion, we don't need to read it here. If your post touches to role of a government official as a factor of the event, without inflaming discussion, the moderation team will do it's best to find a favourable interpretation.
Thanks for working with the moderation team on this...

Greetings, esteemed colleagues.
Before Monday arrives and the posting rate increases, I will repeat the guidance that Pilot DAR provided a few days ago.
I will offer one further point of guidance:
If you are (as many PPRuNe members are) a fixed wing civil aviator, or air transport pilot, I'll ask you not to post about (1) helicopter operations and (2) military flying unless you also have experience in both of those areas of endeavor that relates to this tragic accident. There are a number of our members who have that experience, so let's not let our noise drown out their signal.
We've had to remove some noise. I have received a few well founded complaints about the uninformed commentary about both rotary wing flying, and military flying.
Please do not play the role of the sciolist, but instead speak from your own actual professional experience and knowledge. If you have something to critique about the mixing of helicopter and fixed wing operations at and around civil airports, please be temperate and professional in your language.
Thank you all in advance for your cooperation in keeping this discussion professional.

A quick note for dbcooper:
The accident investigators will probably be asking questions similar to yours, and a great many more.
As to Dulles and rail: I am happy to inform you that the metro now goes out that far .
I had heard some years ago that the Metro was eventually going to get out that far into Northern Virginia, and it seems that "eventually" has arrived.

You have lost the plot over the gender of an Army pilot.
Take a breather, take a walk, come back in a day or so
Thanks to those of you who are keeping a level head.

Thank you for clarifying that, but I think that is the point that he was trying to make. (But as I am not he, I may have misunderstood).
