The incident happened on Tuesday while President Trump was traveling to Joint Base Andrews for a trip to Southern California.
Trump’s helicopter lifted off from the Ellipse near the White House around 2:33 p.m. (1833 GMT), on his ?way to Joint Base Andrews for a trip to Los Angeles, according to a pool report.
A source told Reuters that Envoy ?Air 3742 — a regional E170 jet bound for Pensacola, Florida — departed at 2:34 p.m. and was involved in the apparent loss of separation incident with Marine One. Envoy is a wholly owned subsidiary of American Airlines (AAL.O), which did not immediately comment.
FAA rules require aircraft to remain separated by at least ?1.5 miles horizontally and 500 feet vertically around airports. The sources said it appeared Marine One and the plane did ?not maintain separation. One said it appears they were not converging during the incident.

I’m stupid when it comes to aviation… could the jet have caused some sort of wake that Marine One could’ve flown into, resulting in it falling?
Sorry if this is a retarded question, but I really don’t know.

I don't believe so but they ignored protocols.

Marine 1 waved the three minutes anyway

No. It’s controlled airspace that should’ve been closed with priority being Marine 1. Same airspace where the Army helicopter hit a plane iirc.

Sounds like the tower was trying to get Encore off with no delay before the airspace was temporarily closed. Marine One had visual separation the entire time
