re: Plane collides with helicopter over Reagan International Airport; Looking in Potomac

She killed 66 people because she had TDS, I don’t care what her bff thinks.

The downvotes are because most here think you are a shite poster.

Also, posting some virtue signalling bullshite from libtards of X doesn't change the fact she and the ATC person are responsible for the slaughter of 67 people.

Perhaps focusing on what ATC and the helo's entire chain of command did wrong will prevent this from happening again.

Nobody is worried about some random anonymous Internet drama from Friday. Except for shitlibs trying to distract from those responsible being held accountable.

Your boy is a Valor in Bio Bro for fricks sake

Your example doesn’t apply to this situation.

The altitude is being way overblown. Aircraft are allowed 200’ “grace” on their indicated altitude. If air traffic applies 500’ separation between a VFR and other aircraft, which is legal, and both aircraft are off 200’, they still miss by 100’.
In this case we have the CRJ descending to the runway, so no altitude separation is being applied and we shouldn’t be looking for it. The helo has taken responsibility for keeping the flight paths from crossing.

This video brought up some points for me. If they were training to remove VIP’s out of DC, why would they have night vision goggles on? Why would they do this at 8pm at night with airline traffic?

In a condition like that, wouldn’t ATC divert airline traffic away from the city and close the airspace to civilian traffic? As in, training at 2am or something with very limited civilian traffic makes more sense than 8-9pm when civilian traffic is heavy?

Would wearing night vision make sense in that exercise? I can’t see why it would? Why not just fly without night vision, it’s not a combat mission in foreign land where night vision is beneficial? We don’t even know if they had it on though.

I guess I’m going back to the Army and the battalion training in the middle of the city here to plan appropriately.

I mean, that was about as well-written and accurate as it gets around here.

:Boom:

Consensus in the comments is that this was an intentional act

This was an accident just waiting to happen. With all the near misses from 2021 to 2024 I am not sure why so little was done before this had to happen.

It was also revealed on Tuesday that there was warning signs in the lead up to the deadly disaster.

Those probing the crash went through 944,179 operations between October 2021 and December 2024.

It was uncovered that 15,214 'near-miss events' of planes getting alerts about helicopters being in close proximity between October 2021 and December 2024.

The NTSB also said that there were 85 cases where two aircraft where laterally split by less than 1,500 feet, and a vertical separation of less than 200 feet.

Homendy added: 'That data from October 2021 through December 2024, (the FAA) could have used that information any time to determine that we have a trend here and a problem here, and looked at that route; that didn't occur, which is why we're taking action today. But unfortunately, people lost lives, and loved ones are grieving.'

Investigators believe that the helicopter involved in the crash might have had inaccurate altitude readings in the minutes before the crash.

you are a disgusting piece of shite, and shown your true colors in this thread - between what you have said here, and the creepy thread about your neighbors little girl bringing you gifts, you are just a weird, shitty human being.
