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.
Wow my condolences to their families
No word from Fort Belvoir regarding their Black Hawk helicopter
Nope nothing not even for the families
Apparently Trump fired 1000s of air traffic controllers right before this happened.

Bro, why are you spreading misinformation, he put a federal hiring freeze that affects ALL hiring. He didn't let go of any current employees because cannot fire federal employees, only CONGRESS can through a bill.
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.
Very Sad.
They shouldn"t have been that close and not at the same height.
A large, full, plane cannot move out of the way nearly as fast as a helicopter can. Why was that copter there? Somebody is not qualified. This was not a technical breakdown.
@@lilliansongs-w2d
Of course they're not qualified. It was a trainee. Why they are training over a commercial airport is the issue
@@judethfenton5978 The instructor not qualified.for sure.
THIS DIDN'T HAVE TO HAPPEN!😭
It was the Biden/Harris policy to let aircraft fly that close.
JANUARY 20 - Trump fires the head of the Federal Aviation Administration, the department in charge of flight safety
JANUARY 21 - Trump freezes hiring for Air Traffic Controllers
JANUARY 22 - Trump disbands the Aviation Safety Advisory Committee
JANUARY 28 - Trump sends out a buyout/retirement demand to existing employees, removing experienced safety staff
JANUARY 29 - First American mid-air collision in 16 years
No politics please.
They've been having close calls at this exact airport for years!!! Therefore your assumption does not hold water
Thank you!
why not? If the American President goes on television and spews his political damage and hate something to the entire world, then it our duty to state our constitution right to stand and voice my opinion.
NO POLITICAL BS! Have some damn RESPECT! 😡
The helicopter should have stayed back. It should have never crossed path until it was clear. They went forward even though they saw the aircraft!!! The aircraft can't do anything once it's in its path...
A distinction should be pointed out that commercial aviation in the US is incredibly safe. General aviation, not so much.
obvious question that no one seems to ask.., why in the eff would aircraft have intersecting flight paths?
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.
Deep condolences to victims families and friends.. It could be prevented, but nobody cares much about average, simple people anymore (imho)
The biggest question toinvestigate is was it human error deliberately or accident, that's it
DEI
The victims and loved ones will always be remembered. The petty, vindictive and childish remarks from trump will also be remembered.
Trump fired 400 FAA senior officials, the TSA head, and 3,000 air traffic controllers just 8 days ago.
@@nancywilliams7437I never heard that? My ex husband retired from the FAA.
@@nancywilliams7437 condolences to all the people that lost their lives. The Trump haters go away.
I never come here to argue with people: but I listened to Trump: and that’s not my take away? They are reporting now that the Military was dispatched for Trump on a plane: due to a Drone. God bless you! I’m praying for unity. We have Mothers Day: because mothers from the North and South who lost children: wanted to come together. My first baby died: which is why I know this. ❤
@@nancywilliams7437 The Pilot in this video said training had been reduced "the past few years".
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.
This guy is sounding like Trump speaking without knowing any facts as the investigation is just beginning. Trump needs to stay out of this investigation completely.
Trump needs to stay out of a lot of things.
Just like POLITICS. They have NO BUSINESS here. So, have some damn RESPECT.😡
He thinks he is a pilot now, the guy ego is crazy.
I am so sorry for the victims of the families for that helicopter should have never done any exercise at night especially where the runway of airplanes are so specifically it is the helicopters fault and this should not happen
Changing the landing strip was the first mistake.
@camlacass, I think adding five extra flights pushed by Kansas congressional representatives last May to an overburdened small airport was the first mistake.
Someone's ought to get get fired
😭😭😭😭
Traffic controllers training?
Trump Fault
That is why he felt he had to get in front of the story.
How, exactly? Please, I would love to know.
He wasnt the pilot on either the plane or helicopter and he sure wasnt the air traffic controller.

It’s always Trumps fault. I couldn’t believe posts that blamed him for the price of eggs.
Idk. Call me a bigot. But I've met many pilots throughout my years on this ratchet planet. Never seen one look anything like this guy. Just saying. Also they all have the pilot voice.
😩 TRUMP Trump ... ohhh lawd Press Conference 😮💨 Isn't it a SHAME , "Patti LaBelle and the Blue 💙 Birds ." 😮MGOD
So what is taking u so long to blame it on Trump...we are waiting😢
😂😂😂
Stop the craziness.
They're already trying. Read some of the ridiculous comments on this very thread. Unbelievable.! TDS doesn't take a day off, apparently 😂
The fact that he just cut the budget for air traffic controllers ! How ever Trump blamed DEI and Pete Buttigeig ! 😅It’s always Trumps fault the stock market is tanking and grocery prices are still high! First day came and went. Ukraine War still going on to ! Trump is a orange fat liar

one night i was scrolling through my phone, feeling like i’d never figure out why some people just seem so magnetic. then i came across this book, Vibrations of Manifestation by Alex Lane, and something about it caught my attention. reading it was like turning on a light in a dark room. it’s not about pretending to be someone you’re not; it’s about unlocking the energy you already have. trust me, this book is worth every page
Night Vision Goggles
Listen look at the radar / Place yourself in the helicopter. Path is river & like a ROAD LEFT & RIGHT side by side traffic, Radio only the tower "No Airline chatter".
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.
Politics at a time of tragedy 😩. He is a pilot that learned without the technology we have available today. Remember how long a fax took to transmit. Times change and so does training practice. "Commercial travel in america is the safest in the world" but Trump has puppets everywhere 😂😅
there was a time when i kept wondering why some people seemed to naturally draw others in while i was just…there. no matter what i tried, i couldn’t figure out how they did it. then someone mentioned the book Vibrations of Manifestation by Alex Lane, and i decided to check it out. the way it explains how your aura affects everything around you? it blew me away. it’s like having a secret code to unlock your magnetic energy. this book is a game-changer.
I blame it on DEI
The helicopter pilot was so dumb and blind he directly hit the big plane full view. Who is protecting who. At the cost of civilian life. Totally no fault of civilian aircraft carrying passengers . Army helicopter to blame . Was he ordered to hit plane in full view.
Pilots who have used night vision goggles as these military pilots were likely using say it can mess up perception in a spot like this with all those extra lights. It makes objects appear farther away than they actually are according to their experience.
just like when the cargo ship turned into the bridge at the last moment, and then straightened out again before hitting the bridge. sus.
Black man
????
Nope, try again maga reject
Why was there a black hawk even anywhere near a commercial flight path??? 🤔 someone has some serious ‘?’s’ to answer!!!
