I swear on the video it looks like the helicopter ascended in the last few seconds to hit the plane. Could be the vantage point, but I’ll be damned if it doesn’t look intentional to me.

Pilot error. Nobody is intentionally going to cause a mishap.

Do military aircraft communicate with FAA?

Sure is nice and comforting knowing we have a president awake after 6 pm and staying abreast of events.

Wow. Extremely unfortunate that a lot of air safety agencies and practices got terminated right before this happened

It’s almost like those institutions serve a purpose and aren’t excess spending. So incredibly sad that preventable loss of life occurred so tragically

DC has got to have the most advanced radar in the world. How the frick don't they know down to an inch where these two aircraft are at? It's the Patomac river not like searching for the Malaysian 370 flight

Their theory is that the black hawk was looking straight trying to find the plane and the plane would have hit the top of the black hawk. That would explain why they didn't see each other

Even though I know X can be a cesspool, it is still so disheartening to see how so many are quick to politicize. This is tragic and regardless of the cause is not a political victory for anyone.

I suspect the helo pilots just didn’t see it. I know it sounds crazy but it happens.


Think so too. So tragic. Prayers for all, man
