    This is the most precise well-thought-out information that I’ve seen all day. It makes so much sense and I agree with him that I don’t think either pilot saw each other.

    i remember feeling like i was always the one fading into the background while others stood out effortlessly. it was frustrating and made me doubt myself a lot. then i came across this book, Vibrations of Manifestation by Alex Lane, and it showed me things i’d never even considered. it’s not just a self-help book; it’s like a guide to understanding your own energy and using it to connect with people. if you’ve ever felt like you’re not seen, this book might change everything.

    It was mind blowng to hear that the helicopter normal flfying route was 200 ft over the river and 300 ft below the landing jets. That meant they were in a collison course. In this event the ATC allowed the helicopter to fly visual and it apprantly missed the altitude seperation.

    The Blackhawk never should've been at that altitude. US Army Blackhawk pilots always
    keep the chopper from zero to 200 feet, off deck. I was in the Iraq War for 21 months
    and Afghanistan for 11 months, including on JSOC missions. Every Blackhawk I was on
    never swooped over 130 feet off deck. The fact that the Blackhawk that caused this
    tragedy was at 350 feet+ when he hit the plane over the Potomac River is what is at issue here.

    Helicopter NO Airline INFO Only Visual & Tower & Passed first Runway {tower only one listening to both Airplane & Helicopter}. ..
    TOWER DEI F*UPPED / Helicopter Visual {LOOK AT Radar}: thought they were going BOTH side by side {not the plane was crossing LEFT in-front of path to Runway}
    LOOK at RADAR and the TOWER DIDN'T INFORM plane is crossing path.... Only told Fly visual turn after passing side by side...Passing.
