He had only just been confirmed in his position in President Trump's cabinet, when the midair disaster occurred on Wednesday night. But Duffy was on the scene almost immediately, seeking answers to why and how the accident may have happened.

In case you missed his note to the public on Thursday, you can read it below:

"This is not what I expected my first day on the job to be, but I do believe that God puts us exactly where we're supposed to be.

"Tonight, I met with some of the families who lost their loved ones in the plane and helicopter crash last night. Their pain is immeasurable. I can't take away their pain, but I can do a very small part to help ease it by keeping my promise to get to the bottom of what happened and be 100% transparent about the results of the investigation. They have my word.

"My heart and the heart of the nation are with them tonight and in the difficult days ahead. May God bless them all.

"I am in the process of developing an initial plan to fix the @FAANews. I hope to put it out very shortly.

"Tomorrow, I am going to the FAA command center and recovery hangar. I will continue to keep the families and the public up-to-date with what we are doing in this situation and every other situation that falls under @USDOT.

"@POTUS is the most transparent president in my lifetime. I intend to reflect that spirit during this investigation and in all my work at @USDOT.

"Good night for now...tomorrow we get back to work!" -@SecDuffy (Secretary Sean Duffy) Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
