The Trump administration and Elon Musk are also facing criticism over the firing of hundreds of workers at the FAA, the Federal Aviation Administration. On Monday, a team from Musk’s private SpaceX company visited the FAA’s Air Traffic Control Command Center in Virginia. Musk previously forced out FAA Administrator Michael Whitaker. This comes at a time of increased anxiety over flying. There have been four major plane crashes over the past month. On Monday, a Delta flight from Minneapolis crashed while landing in Toronto. The plane flipped upside down on the runway. At least 18 people were injured.
