President Donald Trump went off on a stunning riff about the deadly air crash, comparing the collision with the infrequency of golf balls hitting each other.

On Thursday morning, Trump gave what appeared to be almost completely improvised remarks at the National Prayer Breakfast at Statuary Hall in the U.S. Capitol.

During that speech, Trump went on a lengthy tangent about the air crash in which an American Airlines flight collided with a Black Hawk Army Helicopter near Ronald Reagan National Airport, killing 67 people.

For nearly four minutes, Trump drifted between points as he continued to speculate about the disaster and compared the crash with golf balls at a driving range:

But that event, like the tragedy last week, should remind us all that we have to make the most out of every single day that we have.

Who would think that you’re in space? And two things collide. The odds of that happening are so small, even without proper control.

We should have had the proper control. We should have had better equipment. We don’t, we have obsolete equipment. They were understaffed for whatever reason. I guess the helicopter was high. And we’ll find out exactly what happened.

But the odds, even if you had nothing, if you had nobody, the odds of that happening– extremely small. It’s like, did you ever see, you go to a driving range in golf and you’re hitting balls, hundreds of balls, thousands of hours.

I never see a ball hit another ball? Balls going up all over the place. You never see ’em hit. It was amazing that that could happen.

There was a lot of mistakes made and it should have never happened. But regardless of that, it’s amazing that it happened.

And I think that’s going to be used for good. I think what is going to happen is we’re all going to sit down and do a great computerized system for our control towers. Brand new, not pieced together, obsolete like it is land based, trying to hook up a land based system to a satellite system.

And the first thing that some experts told me when this happened is you can’t hook up land to satellites and you can’t hook up satellites to land. It doesn’t work. We spent billions and billions of dollars trying to renovate an old broken system instead of just saying cut it loose and let’s spend less money and build a great system done by 2 or 3 companies. Very good companies, specialists. That’s all it is. They used 39 companies.
