That kind of response isn't typical of an aircraft crash, that's an insane amount of emergency vehicles.


wut?
a passenger plane and a helicopter exploding mid-air and crashing into the potomac river in the nation's capitol is going to bring an enormous response
eta - sorry, didn't read far enough and see you adjusted your take

how did the helicopter not see the giant plane in front of it


Well, the plane wouldn't have been right in front of it until they hit in looking at the video. It would have been going 150+, so it would have been well to their left.

Saying that, it had it's landing lights on so kind of hard to miss it with even a modicum of situational awareness.

The video sure looks like it was intentional by the copter

It looked very deliberate

Karoline Leavitt is on Hannity confirming it was a military chopper hitting a regional jet.

Well, the new SECDEF, new Transportation Secretary have a busy night tonight

You're free to look up other response videos like this if you'd like. You don't see the sheer number of emergency vehicles. The fact that it's being reported as a military helicopter helps explain that. That makes it a huge arse deal. Crazy stuff.

Could some people have survived a fall into the river? It doesn’t seem impossible. Hopefully there are at least a few.

Someone fricked up

Since airliners follow a very set flight pattern coming into the airport, the Blackhawk was probably out of place and might not have been on the commercial aviation net.

military transport without transponder on. Looks like Miley and other senior staff were ex filtrating.

Military VIP copter per that one tweet.

May be interesting to follow this.

Or may be BS. Who knows at this point.

Assuming they survived the impact, the explosion, were lucky enough to survive the impact on the water, and then able to find their way out, yes. And then they’d be in a fight against time in freezing cold water.

No, Fox reported he's been told about it.

Kaitlin Collins said the plane hit a Blackhawk. Thought it was a DC chopper?
