Horrible situation. The helicopter looks like it goes right towards the AA plane and makes contact. Praying for survivors in the water

There was a large explosion.

Did you see the crash at the airshow where a plane flew into a ww2 bomber, they both disintegrated. Even at landing speed we are talking 150mph into something going 50-100 mph

That looks like a full explosion to me and it was a relatively small plane. I’ll be thrilled if I’m wrong and you’re right here.

I haven’t found a link but the guy on Hannity said that is what he was hearing that was just reported to him.


Good deal, I wasn’t calling BS, I just wanted to see it posted. Good deal

I’m very aware of what PSA is what does that have to do with most private stuff not operating at dca?


My bad. Read your post wrong. Thought you said it was restricted (except for) private.

Wrong. One of American’s wholly-owned regionals, PSA operates out of DCA.


What does that have to do with being private?

That’s a commercial jet. It’s a CRJ

Sure looks like the chopper just flew right infront of jt.

I assume air traffic rules are similar to maritime navigation rules? The less maneverable vessel has the the right of way?

All good, that’s what I thought you might have misread. Just making sure I wasn’t misreading.

Tigerdroppings is the best for breaking news. I remember seeing all the videos that was posted during the Las Vegas shooting way before the news picked up on it.

A congressmen texted Hannity and said he’s hearing 60+ dead. Hope he’s wrong

This will be the first crash of its kind in the US since Colgan Air in 2009.
