I spent years in an H-60 squadron (Navy, not Army) and I know the an H-60 is much more agile and maneuverable then a passenger airliner. There was no reason whatsoever for that helicopter to collide with that airplane. This was a 100% screw up on behalf of the Army.
it was on purpose. the helicopter literally b-lined into the jet. it took more work to crash into it than to avoid it.
Maybe it was the air traffick controller's fault. Humans aren't infallible.
@@Mmmmkaaay It wasn't. Also there's no 'k' in traffic when used in this context.
It sounds like the Heli pilot was given visual flight rules and the pilot confirmed he saw the plane 3 times on the atc recording, he was most likely tracking the wrong plane, but I doubt we'll ever really know unless the army releases the full tapes from the helicopter.
@@kscar363 I don't know why voice text added a k. Seems British. 🤣
My condolences to all the families and friends. Rip🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
ZERO new details in this story.
That's news for ya. Repeat. Speculate. Repeat. Speculate. Repeat. Speculate.
Thank you
Maybe they should address how Trump GUTTED aviation staff then we “coincidentally” have the first midair collision in 15 years.
@@smolboi1222maybe you should know what dei policy has done to American Airlines and hundreds of near misses for last few years
@
DEI also covered veterans not being automatic disqualified for positions.
I don’t agree that all DEI hires are done in good faith but the mass firing that happened in the aviation departments only to be followed by this means they weren’t considering the quality of skill of everyone that was fired. It was just a mass firing to be aggressive that lead to at least one person who was doing their job right, and now we had a trainee sent out who wasn’t ready because someone less experienced had to fill a gap that was left from the firing. And now people are dead.
Absolutely unacceptable for a military helicopter to crash into a plane. There are designated areas an everything someone wasn't doing their job
Maybe it's the air traffic controllers who just got fired. Nah, it's probably a trans athlete
I agree yes something don't feel right I have a few or some ideas on this shady disaster.
I’m thinking air traffic controllers. They need to have given them clearance. These are experienced military crew and train there often
@@IEXOTICBEAUTY trump fired air traffic controllers amongst others. He replaced them with loyalist.
@@Parkjkookie1831 Trump firing people has nothing to do with this.
How or why on earth would a military helicopter be on a 'training flight' on final approach of a major civilian airport? This just doesn't sit right?!
This is what happens when Cadet Bonespurs is in charge of the military.
Both of your points are wrong. You don't know what you're talking about. Stop lying.

@@duckboy5725 so what difference does that make. I feel for those families as I know what it feels when you loose a loved one. Have a great day.
A training exercise right over a commercial airport. What? Next we’re going to have tanks performing live fire exercises on an interstate.
Don't give kegsgeth ideas 🙄
The military does exercises in commercial, residential, and industrial areas all the time. Remember seeing videos of them off loading a little bird at a busy intersection.
Seriously? That's a false equivalent fallacy. It's not going to suddenly be a free for all for training. They train in areas all the time and you have zero clue about it. Stop fearmongering.
🎟️🙏🙏🙏🙏
look at a map and see where Reagan, Bolling Air Force Base, Ft. Belvoir, and Ft. Myer, and the Pentagon among other agencies are located. This area is unique, so yes, that would have been the flight path for the helicopter as well.
Sending Heartfelt Condolences to all families 😢😢😢😢😢😢
The Black Hawk has been used in combat in many conflicts, avoid some missiles ,radar , and can’t see a plane , something is not right here , my condolences to all those families
The hearing the day before
🤔.....Black Hawks can fly themselves since 2022....everything needs to be investigated
@@michaeltabanao8092 investigated doesn't mean "disclosing the truth". We are only told what the Government wants us to know. Usually mis-direction.
I'm pissed why was the military flying in direct line of sight to a commercial jet?
oh my, wait till you find out they flew across state lines ! !
The military was chasing a UFO and took their eyes off the jet.
They do exactly the same thing in Japan... Very disconcerting!
DEI
They were probably trying to sacrifice some people to the demon god they all worship.
Why did the helicopter fly in the mix with commercial flights? The Army should be held accountable for this tragedy!
Army helicopter had no reason being in commercial traffic
Army helicopters fly all the time near airports. They HAVE to do training flights.
Same thought here
Army does what ever they want
💯💯💯💯
My deepest sympathies to victims and responders ❤❤❤
I’ve been inside a Blackhawk and it has some of the best visibility of any helicopter I’ve been in. How did they not see or move?
How could night vision goggles complicate the situation? If you know…
The helicopter reported the ATC that they did see the plane
why did they cross an incoming flight path at all?
So, they saw it and moved in the wrong direction? Or they both tried to avoid collision and both moved to the wrong direction? Who knows until all the information comes out.
if you've been around aviation, you know that visibility at night is terrible, often requires IFR flight.
And also you'll see that Blackhawks, night flying, crash are very common.
So very sad. Thoughts and prayers are with the grieving families and friends of those who lost their lives.
Stop with the thoughts and prayers, they are worthless.

Did you actually pray to the Father in Jesus name? And what did you pray for? Was it Holy Spirit led? Why did you feel the need to make a comment? I suspect, to be seen by people. I really hope you did pray in secret rather than this comment being a prayer because it’s not

that Blackhawk should have never been near the runway
It's not strictly a commercial airfield.
Why?
That was not the Helicopter air space those black hawks can appear out of nowhere.
have you been made aware of their flight plan somehow? may i see it too?
@bryaneberly3588 look it up they've released both their flight paths
Life is so fragile, and it takes just one mistake in a split-second that lives can be lost. This tragic accident is unacceptable and could have been prevented by the negligence of those who were being trained in the helicopter. The lives of those who died cannot be restored and those in charge and responsible should be severely prosecuted for their negligence.
It took just one screwup. And yes, life is fragile more so when the government is involved.
You have no proof of "negligence".
@@dougmackenzie5976It sounds like it was done on purpose
How do you know that the helicopter 🚁 was at fault?? Has the FAA stated so?
@@debrasix9690, you have absolutely no proof for such an assertion. None. But it's the FIRST thing you went for. Conspiracy theorists do not help actual investigators.

Yeah this one of the many reasons why I will never be on a plane
Yea. People say it’s safer than driving but if a plane crashes, that’s most likely it barring some miracle.
@@TheAnimeViber um…we haven’t had a major crash since 2009. You’re more likely to die in a car accident.
can't imagine having to get on a flight right after this :(
My flying days have been over for years
My parents are getting on a flight from Jamaica to US in a few days. They just left for vacation yesterday. I couldnt imagine if they had been on that flight
Flying is safer than driving. Plane crashes are just more high profile than car crashes are. People have zero reason to worry, unless they get scared whenever they get in a car.
Planes falling apart, the food is poisoning, mass fires from energy weapons, our dollar is dying....mmmmm
I mean you don't have to
Most secure and watched airspace in the world. Something doesn’t seem right about this.
CIA work
It is also a very busy airspace. Accidents will happen no matter how secure the airspace is. It's the simple law of probability. Nobody is perfect.
It's already bothering me only one grainy long distance recording of this event is available so far. 3 or 4 other parts of this stink to high heaven. It's sketchy.
what doesn't?... be specific with your horse shit
Most secure? Most watched would be by the Chinese.

I'm so sorry to the families😢😢😢 🙏🙏🙏, Thankyou first responders ! ❤, it's hard for you too 😢Only God can get you through this.
It is clear the error was by the helicopter. The plane was in the right place. The fact that neither controller saw the unfolding tragedy is awful
Yea but I feel the airport or military base will end up closing because it's impossible to make new safety changes and also be productive at the same time
What controller? The one fired by ttump?
Trumpi has everything under control 🤣🤣🤣
Tell trump that. He thinks it is some DEI problem. He is so confused.
Controllers should have picked up they were at same altitude and same heading.
Smells fishy
No reason for a military helicopter to be anywhere near a civilian airport. It is totally the fault of the army. This is not okay. There are three air force bases around the area they should be used for military operations. With hundreds of flights per day the public should not be put at risk while the military does training.
lol you sound silly
Military aircraft fly into civilian airports all the time
Most air ports have reserve an guard units attached to the air port
why don't you do a little research before you make stupid comments
You need to look at a map. That airport is right out of DC as are multiple bases.
Prayers for those families
Praying 🙏🏽 ❤
No new details here.
Number one suspect I assume is the pilot of the Black Hawk .
@ryanray6215 there must have been some lack of communication between the Army and ATC/FAA. I know from the transcripts that the Black Hawk was asked to confirm visuals on the passenger plane but that was less than a minute before the crash. But the blame probably falls on the helicopter pilot. That airspace is the approach for Reagan airport and helicopters are much more maneuverable. Or ATC could have had the plane go into a holding pattern. A lot of factors involved for which we won't have answers for the time being.
Why don't they start looking into the background of one of the people in the helicopter? probably one of them high jack it... the plane had all the landing lights on ff5

@@quitthebullshit5447 and how does that correlate to a grown man making a conscious decision to fly that helicopter into a plane? Think dude lol
@ The person did not intentionally fly the helicopter into the plane. There were measures in place to prevent such incidents, but those measures were removed or altered, which ultimately led to this situation. While I agree that the helicopter could have maneuvered more effectively, it's important to remember that they were in training, so the pilot may not have been very experienced.
@How is it the helicopter's fault when they were told they could conduct training there? There is much more to the story that many of us are unaware of, but we can draw connections between recent events and what may have led to this tragic accident.

There is no explainable reason for that chopper to crash into that jetliner!
The military has alot to be held accountable for in this tragedy.
Maybe do those night evaluation training flights somewhere else. Night goggles in the middle of a busy civilian flight path area? Seriously?
Satellite photos show direct flight of chopper directly into the plane!!!!
The plane turned towards the runway and was descending. It is entirely plausible that neither plane now helicopter saw the other.
As I saw it, as the plane was descending it ran into the back of the helo.
The film that shows the impact and explosion is at night and lacks depth perception. This is why people think there are aliens. Because the night sky plays tricks on your eyes because we lack depth perception at night.
So does an over head shot.

There has to be more to this story. This is so negligent
Last week trump fired hundreds of FAA officials, fired the head of TSA and froze funding. Trump also scrapped an Aviation Safety board that was advising the DHS on January 22. Why would he do that?
If Biden did this would you blame him, too?
@@birdenthusiast2095obviously but Biden didn’t think to even take shit away that was put in place for a reason
@birdenthusiast2095 yes obviously. Which is ironic because Republicans are blaming dei and whatever nonsense instead of taking responsibility
@@birdenthusiast2095 Yes. Of course Biden didn't fire FAA officials because they wouldn't pledge loyalty to him.
Because of bloat. You can get rid of do nothings and so forth, without impacting functions. Did he cut ATC staff? If so, at this particular airport? Here endeth the lesson (for critical thinking)
Who all was on the helicopter??🤔 Look into their backgrounds.
Something ain't adding up.
Look into the air traffic controllers. You can’t blame the pilots……yet.
@@AppalachianPatriot What air traffic controllers?
@@AppalachianPatriot the atc literally asks the helicopter if they see the jet to which they reply yes, how are you gonna blame the atc?

If all the experts in the comment section knew as much as they think they do about aviation, then they would realize exactly how hectic and busy the airspace in that region of the country.

Why was there a black hawk helicopter in airplane space?
They were both on their assigned flight-paths.
The designated flight-paths cross over each other, but the aircrafts are supposed to be at different altitudes.
One or both of them were probably slightly off course -- most likely too high or too low.
You do realize military aircraft are always in “airplane airspace”? I guess that would require you to think and use your brain. Military aircraft are priority in every air space.
Because we have an alcoholic and bumbling fool running the military and an incompetent president who fired all the safety experts. Duh.
@@Flirken1 bro stfu it ain’t that serious they obviously didn’t know smh lol. .
They are not priority they need to find a designated area where they don’t interfere with regular airlines

I thought air traffic control says something like, you are not clear for takeoff as there is cross traffic 🤷🏽♂️
What the heck happened?

All of my condolences to the loved ones of the lost
The AA plane was landing, but I agree with your point. The ATC was too calm and to vague in his instructions to the helicopter pilot. How about TURN LEFT 90 DEGREES EXPEDITE!

So what Hegseth is saying is that the Blackhawk "normally" flies along this path RIGHT BY A DAMN MAJOR INT'L AIRPORT where planes land and take off?!!?!?!? Who in the HELL thought that was a good idea and why on EARTH is that still happening? Why can't the helicopters do their night training, oh I don't know...ANYWHERE ELSE?????
Excellent thought Abdre! Exactly what myself and sane people are thinking!
Hegseth is a DUI hire
This had to be planned on the part of the pilot of the helicopter because they said you can see the lights on the jet liner miles away. The helicopter wasn’t listening to the instructions coming in. That had to be done on purpose. It either had to be a suicide or that pilot was after someone on that plane. Either way it was a suicide.
it's a regional airport, not an international airport, although we do get international flights there
Or it was remote controlled.
If you voted for Trump this is on your hands.
Very sad 😢 !prayers for them 😢😢😢😢!
I want to know why this helicopter was there to begin with?
Night time training flight the story said, aka routine is what they said 😮😮😮
Military pilots practice in that airspace.

The helicopter barely missed two other planes right before flying directly into that one. Why dont they tell us that?
>FAA Reauthorization Act of 2018, which was signed into law by President Donald Trump on October 5, 2018. While this law covered a wide range of aviation-related issues, it included provisions aimed at improving diversity and workforce development within the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the broader aviation industry.
He is responsible for the diversity he is blaming.
I feel like the ATC‘s communication should have been more clear with precise directions; specific questions should have been asked by the Blackhawk pilot. Looks like they were confused due to lack of clear communication. So sad.
who is FTC? ATC was using book standard phraseology which all pilots understand.
@ any reader with common sense and is an adult would recognize a typo.
We really going to gloss over what Trump said the problem must have been?
many ignore stupidity.
if trump were president, this would NEVER have happened. Oh wait, .... that doesn`t work anymore does it.
Is everyone just that ill informed? Both American Airlines flight and Black Hawk were approved to land. This was an Air Traffic Control error.
The air traffic control that Trump gutted a few days earlier?

My condolences to the families who lost their loved ones. So sad to hear this news😢
This is why the military should have their own airport.
They do.
Certain Hispanics should be legal too but they choose not to be
The military always has had their own airports. But now I’m wondering. did you think a F-16 was taxing behind a 737 for takeoff 😂
The US Airbase right besides the Reagan Airport.
Are we checking the helicopter pilots for alcohol or drugs?
If I go to DC, I'll fly into IAD. The airspace over DCA is just too crowded and tragedies like this are more likely to happen.
Plus IAD now has good rail access to DC.
that’s a bit excessive
Especially dangerous when there’s SUV sized drones flying everywhere. Joe Biden woke handlers spending your tax money.
DC is highly patrolled so that tragedies like this don’t happen at the capitol. There was definitely more at fault than just the helicopter. Air traffic control should’ve said something sooner to either party
It's happened once.... what you mean
My Deepest Condolences to the families and European skaters and families 😮🙏🙏🙏😢😢😢
2025, the Army's been involved in some whacky stuff so far, and it's only been 30 days.
They should have made the airport restricted airspace I have been thinking this for years. And the government is involved there's always a disaster with 0 repercussions to the feds
It's the most heavily restricted airspace on the entire planet.
flying a copter in a pathway of a routine airliner land route??????? is like crossing a major interstate on foot.
An Airforce Base is right besides the Reagan Airport. They cross that river regularly
THE ARMY NEEDS TO BE SUED AN TAKE ACCOUNT FOR THERE STUPIDITY. STUPID PEOPLE DOIN STUPID SHIT. FLYING RIGHT INTO AN AIRPLANE IS RIDICULOUS!!!
Don’t attack the American military.
Theyre immune, you cant sue them. Thanks SCOTUS.
Very sad. 😪🙏. RiP. Amen🙏
For the people that haven't heard of the other airplane crash into the Potomac it's something that is very interesting to research. Air Florida flight 90 crashed into the Potomac River just after taking off from Reagan International Airport in January 1982. Five people survived. The raw footage of that and people being rescued from their cars and from the icy waters is purely incredible.
😢😢😢very sad incident
Some air traffic controller should not have their job
This is a military screw up , not the pilot of the jet
Or the ATC,
Chopper makes a B-Line straight towards the jet. This doesn’t pass the smell test
There were a number of Russian figure skaters on board.
As soon as I saw Russians were on that flight, I scratched my head. We all know our government will kill Americans on our own soil. Honestly as soon as I saw the headline go up, it didn't sit right. Then you have the audio of the pilot being totally aware of what he was doing.
This is heartbreaking traumatic and never should have happened.
Something similar, happened in the 60s with the US national teams plane crashing. RIP to everyone on board both the helicopters and the plane.
In a major city and the best footage we have a 260p video from 2 miles away?
