OT- DC commercial plane and Blackhawk collide

Unfortunately found out this weekend that a very nice lady I know lost her daughter in the DC crash. Very bright young woman. Incredibly sad situation as she saw the breaking news on television and knew her daughter was on the flight.
Yeah that's rough 😕 😞 😔

horrible. We have to get to the bottom of all the contributing factors and eliminate them so nothing like this happens again.
 
We refine their oil for them since they don't have the refineries

There was nothing vague. And you can make improvements in protocol, but it doesn't change where the responsibility of this lies.

Helicopters shouldn't be running missions in Class B, C or D airspace. Absolving the military of this is supporting them continuing this insanity.
Where did I say I’m absolving the military? Hence, there wasn’t a single point of failure. I’m guessing you’ve never flown. Do you have the CRJ insight, and directions to follow that traffic when there was a plane taking off, at night, is absolutely not clear.

It must have been clear to the helicopter because they never asked for clarification.

This is probably a little above your level, so try to stay with me. Your guy is upset because we have a trade deficit with Canada. Why do we have a trade deficit? Because we need the resources they have for our economy. We absolutely need to get along with them.
When is the last time the US had a trade surplus with Canada? What existing tariffs that Canada has on US goods are the good ones that make the trade relationship a good one?
 
Well that changes a lot of narratives if true.

It’s not completely true and his statement is disingenuous at best. May have already been stated but they have not recovered the flight recorder from the chopper. Flight recorders are considered the most accurate and reliable measure of altitude, speed etc… The flight recorder on the air jet says it was at 325 feet when it struck the helicopter. Now… The records from the air traffic control tower say the helicopter was at 200 ft. So currently there is a 125 foot discrepancy between the plane’s flight data recorder and the tower records. The gov’t has yet to provide an explanation for this 125 foot discrepancy and is waiting for the flight data from the blackhawk to hopefully clear things up.

Remember, the flight data recorder is considered the most accurate record available.

Lmao. Canada will cave to whatever he wants.
Regardless, you believe tariffs are good for the US? Just trying to figure out where some of you stand.
Every country tariffs the hell out of us. Canada tariffs the hell out of us. It’s sad the media lies for foreign interests and we have citizens so daft because of it that they hate their country. The entire media complex is guilty of treason

Yeah. It’s was perfectly clear to the helo. They saw the inbound CRJ and the pilot said, hold my beer, check this shit out and ran right into it. That makes perfect sense.

No it was perfectly clear they saw the wrong plane . They were asked multiple times even once after receiving visual separation. They answered affirmative every time. This is totally on the helicopter flight crew . But you and Dingle won’t accept that.

But in very very few instance has it ever produced a net positive result. China has made us very wealthy too. You really think these American industries want to pay the wages and prices associated with production of some of the goods that chinese companies do for them at pennies on the dollar? Who's going to foot that bill in the end? The very people who voted to lower prices in the first place. Makes no sense. Yet it does when we look at the history of the person making the decisions.
totally! I so wish that you were in charge and making these decisions than that dumb dumb who ran this country into the ground last time around and doesn't have any business experience at all. Cavalot 2028!

Stop trying to argue left and right politics and border security etc.

This thread is about the crash only from here on out. If you have anything to add to that great. If not, don't even post.
