I don't know what happened, but from that video it looks like the helicopter ran straight into the plane. Damn.

NGL, that Blackhawk even in VFR should have been able to see that CRJ.

How does a Blackhawk fly into the airspace of a runway??

I've heard an Air Canada RJ


Probably incorrectly reported as an air Canada jet.

It’s a canadair CRJ700

The only way it could really happen… the plane is gonna be on approach for a few miles out.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt says it appears it was a military helicopter.

He should end it. Doesn't deserve to see the country improve.

I enjoy watching those I’ve probably seen everyone. It’s sad how many, if not all those crashes can be avoided

Have seen the crash video. The PSA RJ was on short final and the Blackhawk took off right into the RJ

Yeah who was on the helicopter is a secondary, but potentially significant question i suppose

This is a bizarre scenario that absolutely should have never happened.

Someone mentioned that the military helicopter was flying without it's transponder on? Does that mean no one can see it?

I can’t tell if the helicopter ran into the plane from behind or if the plane ran into the helicopter from behind. The flyer from behind ran up on the flyer that was ahead very fast.
