Great respect for your son sire , im sorry for your loss
Why doesn't the media talk about the pilot? Who was the Pilot (Captain)? The main pilot that was in control of the Black Hawk!
Rebecca Lobach
Because it was a woke female Biden staffer and it proves Trump was absolutely right about DEI being responsible. Oh and also the fact that she did it intentionally.
My heart goes out to you, Mr O’Hare. I’m sorry for the loss of your son and everyone involved in this crash.
Our hearts go out to you and your family, Sir.
Why are they withholding the pilots name?!
Don't know why. But the pilot name is Captain Rebecca Lobach.
You know why. Because it makes them look bad. It makes their DEI policies look bad.
Immoral reporter couldn't do it without DEI remarks in front of a grieving father YET AVOIDING 3rd pilot, A WOMAN.
Who was the primary pilot?
I think 4hats the one name they're hiding. Weird.
@correypeta it's the woman they haven't named I read since then. On the one hand, she's behind the controls, on the other, the instructor is responsible for what she does. Having said that, if hypothetically she does multiple things wrong, it's hard to figure out what was done and how to undo it, based on watching 100+ airplane accident videos. There is only so much time. Of course, I'm not saying it's on her, the instructor could have misdirected her. My guess is they all had some part in this ending. The 3rd guy is not usually a pilot, and his job was to make sure they are clear of other aircraft. What happened was so crazy, part of me wondered if it was intentional. As congested of airspace as it is, there was still more space available with no aircraft than busy areas. So how did they end up on the same level as the plane when they were supposed to be higher?! It also seems like ATC didn't do enough. Why, when they got closer to one another, did he not urgently tell both pilots! I'd be yelling to the helicopter Mayday and to move out of the way however many feet.
@Poochipup i agree. And I had a feeling it was a woman. Ugh. Im worried something was intentional...
@@correypeta Rebecca Lobach
Looks like it is Rebecca Lobach
No matter whose fault it was, we have to pay respect to the victims. And this man was in the Army, don't forget.
Being in the army or military doesn't mean squat.
Peolle died.
Doesn't matter who.
Wish trump would say the same instead immediately blaming other innocent people .
It's the woman they haven't named I read since then. On the one hand, she's behind the controls, on the other, the instructor, Ohare, is responsible for what she does.

Rebecca Lobach
Was at the controls
So sorry to all the families Terrible accident
What about the female copter pilot, what was her name?
He wasn't an officer and a pilot. He was enlisted air crew.
New info on the pilot coming out which might be interesting. This man’s son was not the pilot & I feel very sorry for his whole family.
Why is the name of the 3rd pilot in the Black Hawk helicopter being withheld. We have a right to know.
Don't know why. But the pilot name is Captain Rebecca Lobach.
450 flight hours for a female to fly a HAWK is DEFINITELY just giving it to anybody.
❤ heart breaking
he messed up
I agree, he is a terrible crisis actor
horror - from spokesperson back to pilot! poor passengers on airplane!
that woman pilot!
I dont understand, i am single dad myself so my kid is still a teenager but i couldnt ever imagine doing any sorts of interviews days after my kid passed away..
the shock and the pain just boggles your mind, you can't sleep, the anxiety eats you up, perhaps this is a way for him to keep going and share memories of his son, I pray you never have to experience this.
Are you doing an alex jones?
Because we had a decade of that. Don't tell me this is the new sandy hook.
You don’t understand what? Grief? Unimaginable pain? Wanting the world to know your son was extremely competent and not wanting people to unfairly judge him as guilty of taking down an airplane with 64 souls on board? Not wanting that to be his son’s legacy? I just don’t understand what it is you don’t understand.
It musk be a mistake in the drone and navigation system of the Black Hawk helicopter .
It was an accident 😢
Trump lacks even the simplest levels of empathy.
Correct.
Lies. Stop doing that.
What the hell are you talking about?? In no way does Trump lack empathy. He cares beyond what the previous administration ever showed.
Why are they hiding the pilot’s identity? Fishy asf
They aren’t ‘hiding’ anyone’s identity. It has to do with complexities of family notification, which involves personal visits of two officers often to multiple locations. Before you proceed to accept a very simplistic explanation that DEI refers to the pilots gender please read my earlier post where I explained what the DEI comments were referring to. It had to do with the hiring of an insufficient number of new air traffic controllers.
They dont talk about the pilot cause SHE was a DEI hire that was under qualified to fly in that air space, also she worked for the White House under Biden. Also, those media that do talk about her highlights that she had great perspnality....
CBS Pay up.
👎 CBS just gets worse and worse... The recent changes are worse than before the problem was the narrative. Really like the last broadcaster... Hate the new crimson twins that finish each other's sentences... It's strange s***.
The fact they continue to hide the identity of one of the pilots should tell you all you need about this fishy crash. This was no accident
Don't know why. But the pilot name is Captain Rebecca Lobach.
@ thanks I didn’t know they released it so I guess I can take back what I said before. My apologies to her family.
That pilot doesn't look DEI to me.
He was the instructor, not the pilot flying.
And I think the DEI finger pointing was about the air traffic controllers being understaffed because the FAA has been intentionally keeping white men out from being controllers.
Nothing to do with Mr. Ohara
DEI Captain Rebecca Lobach.
The news selectively reports what fits their agenda. Of COURSE they would not report the real pilot was an unqualified woman who killed 60 innocent civilians.
I want to see somebody ask Camilla Harris at what point did you realize you lost the US presidential election to Donald Trump. Preferably Oprah Winfrey and Michelle Obama asking the question
My heart goes out to him. The DEI stuff has been misunderstood. I think in the final analysis, everyone will realize that You see, DEI impacted who got hired as an air traffic controller (ATC). The Biden Administration used their time in office to make a stand about diversity and inclusion, by setting goals of employment of a wider variety of groups than just race, adding in additional groups (I.e., transgender, etc.). So a number of people who might have gotten hired normally did not get hired. Some of this led to smaller numbers being hired than is needed. One report says that 285 out of 313 ATC locations are currently understaffed. In addition, the night of the crash, there normally should have been two people, but only one person was doing the job. Optimally, one person would talk to the airplanes, and another person would talk to the helicopters. But this night there was only one person doing both jobs. A number of pilots have pointed out. That the ATC would normally have said to look for a particular plane in a particular space but this time they did not do that.. so it’s possible that it led to the helicopter pilots identifying the wrong plane and thus missing the plane that they were supposed to steer clear of. It’s no criticism of anyone’s gender or ethnicity or anything else. But it did impact hiring, and thus can be said to be one of the reasons why there weren’t enough air traffic controllers at the time.
That's a very long-winded excuse. So the pilot hit the CRJ because 10 years ago under Obama the FAA decided to hire a black or Latino or perhaps a lesbian to work in ATC? WTF?
Trump fired the head of the FAA; Dismantle the Aviation Safety Advisory Committee; and put a freeze on the hiring of new ATC staff. Yet you think that DEI is the reason there was only one ATC working at the time of the accident.
Stop the BS Donald Trump get rid of all of those programs blame him. Donald Trump is the president now it is his fault
crew chiefs typically will sit either on one side or the other and they are the one to do all your airspace surveillance and obstacle avoidance. They're the ones responsible for that. The pilots see down in the front.
True. Something went wrong there. Also, why was the pilot flying so high?
Copilot scans to right Not crew chief
@@Mtu_wa_kweli I quoted what it said online in a couple different places. 🤷♀️
Oh great a Hit piece on Trump.. Of course
I have met DT at Mar-a-lago, and I have gone door to door for the party. But come on sir, have some empathy. Do you really think Trump’s comments were appropriate and founded? This man lost a child and had to hear insensitive and political remarks, yet he kept his response regarding Trump’s comment very classy. This isn’t the hit piece you thought it was.
@@nessparadis6948 As President, he makes it his business to find out what happened. This is some “mistake”. Trump will prevent it from happening again!
@@ellenmorse8559 He's already blamed the Black Hawk pilots and he is our commander in chief, There is something wrong here!!!!!!! He should be in jail.
Trump brings it all on himself by being an absolutely crap excuse for a human being. He runs his mouth and he 100% gets what he deserves. He has no respect for our soldiers. He has no respect for anyone. Quit buying his BS. He doesn’t care about you.
@@pizzanpepsi Well, I wouldn’t be so quick to put the pilot in jail !!! We need the facts first.
Don worry it was DEI
Wait.... the plane piolets were both white dudes...
Oh fu....
One pilot wasn't a dude.
@frankmartin8471 does it matter?
No.
Can you tell me which pilot was woman and why that make I so this was going to happen.
Balls in your court bud.
