What has happened at the FAA during Trump's second term amid recent plane crashes?

Since the beginning of Donald Trump's second presidential term, there have been five plane crashes involving flights in or originating from the United States. Amid this concerning pattern of aviation incidents, the Trump administration has taken the drastic step of firing hundreds of FAA employees, with many expected to be locked out of their offices as soon as the following day. This mass termination of FAA personnel comes at a particularly troubling time, occurring between the fourth and fifth plane crashes. The timing raises significant questions about the administration's approach to aviation safety and government oversight during a period of apparent crisis in the industry.
