Marine One's Close Call With Commercial Jet May Have Been Linked To White House Construction The recent near miss incident involving a commercial jet and President Trump's helicopter, Marine One, has raised disturbing questions about the impact of White House construction on air traffic control procedures.
According to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) report, the incident was not caused by any malicious intent, but rather a result of rushing to complete high profile projects.
The NTSB report notes that Marine One has been taking off from the Ellipse instead of the South Lawn due to ongoing construction at the White House.
