Jerry from Parks and Rec is doing it and he is getting testy.
Conflicting info on altitude of helicopter and plane. They say helo was showing at 200 and plane was at 325.

Maybe the helo was 125 feet tall.

I like that guy. NTSB doesn't frick around. I look forward to him on the air disasters episode on this one day.

He was getting pissed and emotional. Probably been a long few days.

If that were true, those 67 people dead in the river would instead be at home right now.

It sounded to me the heavy guy with the blonde spikey hair was trying to elude that the AA pilot could have or should have rejected the landing. He referenced a plane the prior day doing just that. Seem he’s trying to lay the foundation to push blame or at least some of the blame back to the commercial pilot.

Wasn't there flight path videos posted that show that the helo was climbing just before impact?

Could the instruments have been wrong? Showing 200 when it was really 375?

of course....hey if another blackhawk fricked up the day before, and the pilot of the jet there was able to avoid a crash, then it is the jet's fault that the Helo made it into the path of the jet....well not in the path, sort of a dead on side hit from the helo. What the hell was she doing, and the instructor, they had to see the damn jet...it was very clear. Also, why the sudden change of direction by the helo and altitude change.....right before impact.
