You would know that had you read the thread. But you want to make it political instead of informative.
Will be a democrat talking point. In fact it may already be a democrat talking point, hence the comment. They stop at nothing to advance their agenda.

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
You are either immeasurably stupid or a complete piece of shite for posting this attempt for a political gotcha that had nothing to do with this tragedy.

Why are military helos cutting across commercial airline runway approaches? Can’t they train somewhere else. Wouldn’t air traffic tell them to take another route?

You actually have literally no way of knowing that
Just like I have no way of knowing that it did have an effect
Which is why it’s a conversation and not an indictment

Yes they were asked by tower if they had the crj in site. The audio stopped before you hear the reply.
PAT 25 acknowledged and replied that they would maintain visual separation and then turned into the CRJ.
Which makes me believe they were looking at a different plane.

Hey dumbass if it was intentional, it wasn't an unplanned event or mishap.
Not saying it was intentional. I am saying you are a dumbass.

Not doing all the math, but the CRJ is 106.1 feet long and was supposedly moving at 139 mph.
139 mph is 203.9 feet per second.
That gives 0.52 seconds for the entire length of the plane to pass a given point.
Damn son I can barely figure out how to tip
If you do the same estimated calculation from the standpoint of the plane, with the UH-60 being only 64.9 feet long and moving at ~144 mph, there was only about 0.31 seconds that the helo would have been in the path of the plane assuming they were perpendicular to each other.

WTH is a "doomsday plane"?

America's $200m 'Doomsday' plane was sent on a four-hour ...
The E-4B "Nightwatch" is a militarized Boeing 747-200 aircraft that's nicknamed the "doomsday plane". It's designed to function as a military command center in the event of a nuclear attack or other national emergency.
How it works:
The E-4B is a mobile command post for the National Command Authority, which includes the President, Secretary of Defense, and their successors.
It can provide command, control, and communications for U.S. forces.
It can execute emergency war orders.
It can coordinate actions by civil authorities.
It's protected against electromagnetic pulse effects.

I'm really hoping you respond to this and don't crawfish out of it.
Out of these two scenarios, which do you think is more to blame:
1. Trump's days old changes to funding agencies.
2. Years of democrat DEI policies, pushing away meritocracy in favor of diversity.
If you had an honest thought in your head, the answer is obvious.
And I don't think it's an ATC issue so both of those options wouldn't work.
Posted on 1/29/25 at 10:07 pm to Terrific Tales
So the DEI theory is also plausible? I mean that was a political decision that "potentially directly lead to tragic, destructive events..."
Asinine thinking in both cases at this point...

Regardless if intentional or not it’s still considered an aviation mishap, a class A

These trainings are fun but also suck at the same time because of the circumstances they discuss in the trainings of why the incident happened per NTSB

They do know. Sounds like they told the helo to get eyes on and pass behind the airplane. For some reason they did not. They are pros but every person I knew who died in a helo accident was due to pilot error at some level.
Sorry should have said exactly where they crash landed to search for survivors. My bad.
