OT- DC commercial plane and Blackhawk collide

[Bruce1981]

He's perfect for DC. He says so much that he can always point back to something that was right while ignoring all the nonsense he said.

Hilarious thing is he thinks 6 to 8 seconds is enough time for control to correct a ceiling breach in that area and control ordering pass behind is permission for ceiling breach.

The data from the tower now says the collision occurred at 200’.

In the end it still falls on the chopper. They asked and received visual separation besides being asked multiple times do you see the CRJ .

The plane's altitude suggests the Army helicopter was flying above 200 feet − the maximum altitude for the route it was using. Yet the control tower's radar apparently showed the helicopter at 200 feet at the time of the accident, though that information has not been confirmed. "That's what our job is, to figure that out," NTSB board member Todd Inman said.

When you desperately want to be right about something, this is what suffices as indisputable proof.

Plus they need to be at the elevation needed to avoid collision with visual separation so even if they were at 200 feet (highly doubtful) it's still on them. They could have been at 100 to be on the same side. That airspace belonged to the landing commercial jet

I don’t disagree They saw the wrong plane and were short a crew chief. My initial statement was trusting the training of that chopper crew. As it turns out the dedicated helicopter controller WHO LEFT WORK EARLY might have been able to prevent this accident. It’s one of the busiest airports in the U.S. Why the F did that controller leave that post early? Why the F did the commander of that helicopter allow them to fly short a crew chief. Why the F is that an approved route to begin with. Some want to place all the blame on the pilot when in fact they rely on multiple other people to do their jobs. It wasn’t just the yard dart pilot that F’d up.

My initial reaction to trust that Blackhawk crew over a green pilot flying a very old small jet was just that. An initial reaction. There was WAY more certainty expressed by some on here that it was solely that Blackhawk’s pilot’s fault and that the collision happened at or near 500’. That was completely false. She was depending on multiple people who also failed in their roles.

did she go above 200’?

It was never the AA pilot’s fault. I don’t give a shit if Air Force 1 crashed into them.

Perhaps if your initial reaction - which included calling the airline pilot "a guy flying basically an ancient commuter plane for an AA subcontractor" - had not come at the exact same time that you were lecturing others about speculating on the cause of the crash without sufficient facts, it would be more defensible and far less embarrassing.

Don't forget the deleted post where he blamed DEI for air traffic controllers.

Like I said earlier. He's so perfect for DC. Say a bunch of shit, then pick out the part where you were right, brag about it, while ignoring all the things you said that were wrong.

Don’t forget all the Brother in laws that he has .
