🤔

MacFarlane: A commercial airline pilot near Reagan National Airport earlier this week reported a safety concern—or safety incident—from a lighting display potentially connected to the UFC construction site on the White House South Lawn.

That’s according to reporting from Aaron Parnas and MeidasTouch Network. The pilot, speaking on the condition of anonymity, described the incident as being orders of magnitude brighter than the types of light-related safety incidents caused by laser pointers, which have been a menace to commercial airline pilots nationwide. The pilot said it was multiple times more powerful than the light distraction or disorientation that can be caused by a laser pointer.

The commercial airline pilot has submitted a report and complaint about the incident to the FAA and NASA, according to Parnas’ reporting. A request for comment from the FAA was not immediately returned, though the FAA’s press office tends to be a business-hours weekday operation, according to an outgoing message from the agency.

But this does raise questions about just how safe this very novel construction site is. We’ve never seen anything like the UFC structure that’s been constructed on the White House South Lawn. There have been questions about whether it could damage the White House grounds and whether it was lawful. There was a lawsuit that challenged it, but it failed earlier in the week.

This is the latest question or concern surrounding the White House UFC event, which—weather permitting, big asterisk, weather permitting—takes place Sunday night here in Washington.
It’s good to be king. 👑  Getting ready for his birthday party. And very concerned with all the people he’s inconveniencing. Like the good leader he is.

(Had he gone through the proper approval process, this might have been avoided. But “Trump won the election,” we are constantly told.)
