This DC aircrash has earmarks
sounds quite convoluted - how does the Wichita high school acrobatics team figure into that plan?

DC plane crash updates: Helicopter had advanced tracking system turned off, lawmaker says

WASHINGTON – The U.S. Army helicopter that collided with an American Airlines plane killing 67 people last week had turned off an advanced surveillance system that the federal government has hailed for making airspace safer, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz said on Thursday.
Cruz, who was among a group of lawmakers briefed on the collision by federal authorities, said the Black Hawk helicopter had switched off its automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast sometime prior to the Jan. 29 crash.
"This was a training mission, so there was no compelling national security reason for ADS-B to be turned off," Cruz said after a briefing from the National Transportation Safety Board and FAA. He added that the helicopter had a transponder so it would appear on radar, but said ADS-B is significantly more accurate.

She said there are three check rides the Army performs, one of which includes instruments like night-vision goggles, and an annual check to determine a pilot’s proficiency in flying.
This particular flight, she noted, was a combined night-vision goggle annual check ride.
Senate Commerce Committee Chair Ted Cruz, R-Texas, told reporters Thursday the Black Hawk helicopter had turned off its automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B), which is permitted for military aircraft.
"This was a training mission, so there was no compelling national security reason for ADS-B to be turned off," Cruz said after sitting in on an NTSB and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) briefing.

I don’t think it was intentional.
If it wasn’t intentional, she was highly incompetent.
Looked like she flew directly into the plane with a purpose.

So, we're living in a butterfly effect type simulation and one of the skaters was gonna be the next Hitler?

How in the world did that helicopter pilot not see she was on a collision course with the jet?
I wouldn't be one but surprised if she was filming some vapid, tiktok dance video.

It would take an incredibly skilled pilot to collide with a plane with both aircraft moving at different speeds and different altitudes.
Female pilot = not possible.
