I myself don't think anyone will ever hear what's on the helicopter black box, The military can be very secretive at times, and the last thing they will do is take responsibility for errors,
The flight data will do nothing to solve the accident because the jet was on a normal stabilized approach. The cockpit voice recorder will at least let investigators know if the pilots of the jet were aware of the Blackhawk. No evasive maneuvers meant both pilots didn't have each other in sight just before impact.
The air traffic controller failed to tell where the plane is to the helicopter. Why do I say that? Because VASaviation posted a similar scenario at the very same airport just 24 hours before this crash. The air traffic controller told the helicopter incoming traffic's path of direction, whether it was decending, and altitude. Then he turns around and warns the landing plane about the same details relating to the helicopter's whereabouts. Maybe this is not a requirement, but it would have saved lives.
Perhaps Trump called up the helicopter for a McDonald's run. That has as much probability as anything else. It was reported to be a VIP Black Hawk service unit I believe.
Flying at night adds dificuly & that area has a lot of lights all over area. Night googles in a highly lighted area might make night googles washout or worse visibility than not using night googles
They need to change the rules to not have everyone in the helicopter be wearing night vision. A person without it might’ve been able to spot it and warn the pilot. It’s like having those virtual reality things on your face and you’re not aware of your surroundings. One should be looking out with normal freaking vision. SMH
Some of the victim's families didn't lose just one, but multiple members. Think about it; one person losing 2 or 3 loved ones. I feel such a strong, rich sense of empathy for those who lost their loved ones in this horrible tragedy. Some people lost their 'favorite person' Some people lost the one they shared their life with and made life with. Some people lost the person that gave them life. Some people lost their siblings. The person they grew up and argued with, but would also protect with their life. The grief and sorrow will linger, and right now, it's heavy. I really, really, really hope that the victim's families are receiving an outpour of empathy, love, and kindness.

Staff Sgt. Ryan Austin O’Hara, 28, of Lilburn, Georgia, is believed to be deceased pending positive identification.

Military aircraft fly over my house daily doing exercises at the small municipal airport behind my house . They fly so close they clip the top Of trees
Why is the military using a busy airport for training? It puts civilians at risk. Are the commercial pilots informed military training is happening in the airspace over the airport? So many questions!
This is normal all over the US; military typically shared their space and flying lands with commercial flights. They have towers that talk to each other. So the questions is what happen here.
Nah there’s one taking off and one landing. Taking off would be at the heli six and hanging left up river and landing at almost twelve down river until it deviated to land on 33 and then it would move off to its ten and hook back in. Either way it would have been mostly in front of the helis path but might have been confused from the deviation.
Ive work at yyz for 7 years. When an aircraft is on final approach at night time... the headlight is engaged as the the landing gear is deployed(its on the front landing gear)...how did the helicopter pilot not see the headlight to his 10°clock?
You may want to check with both of your brain cells? Calling this "intentional" is absurd and irrational. Blaming the "government" is stupid and unfounded and the words of a conspiratorialist.
@leonardodalongisland Did I say it was intentional, or whether it was intentional or not we don't know?.Did you even fully read my comment? And as far as whose fault it was for the crash, the military copter belonged to the government that hit the passenger plane. And let assume the blame is somehow shifted towards the Air Traffic Controllers, they two are government staffers right? It's crystal clear that the civilian plane didn't cause this tragic event and is not at fault.
@@leonardodalongisland Really? If you watch the video and the radar and look at the facts it is very possible that the pilot of the heli intended to hit the plane. They increased their altitude, flew off path, sped up, and turned directly into the path of the plane. I'm not saying it was intentional, but it certainly looks like it could have been. The army wont release information on the third pilot, which makes it seem like they're covering something up. The government are the ones who designated the helicopter route and made it so close to the civilian airport. This is not absurd or irrational information; it is logical and analytical. If you think this was just a freak accident and the government isn't to blame, then you may be drunk on government koolaid.

Clearly the helicopter had the opportunity and the time to make evasive maneuvers. The plane was in their sight. Instead it rammed right into the passenger jet as if it was autopiloted.
It's suspicious that the Army won't release the name of the female helicopter pilot. Yet they released the names of the other two soldiers who were flying with her.... Why?? Weird.

DEI has nothing to do with it at all trump and Elon cleaned house there first week. We never had a crash like this under biden. So quit listening to that idiot President that doesn’t know what he is talking about
I hear the ATC tape for a similar situation 24h prior to this incident, and the instructions from the other ATC is much more detailed, consistent and affirmative. To me, the main reasons are 1. The helicopter was flying out of zone 2. ATC didn’t help enough. The last minute change of landing runway might also contribute to this disaster, because TCAS didn’t give warning after the jet changed approach which crossed the path with the helicopter but dropped below 1000feet.
I don't know that the military has ever cut costs on anything ever. They were supposed to be trained at that very moment. It's been reported as a training flight from the beginning.
The bright lights are on the front of the airplane. The helicopter was traveling towards the right side of the plane meaning the bright lights were not pointing at the helicopter.
@@xbshot The landing lights don't have to point to the helicopter to be seen. The front part of the plane is also lightened up by the landing lights. There is no way the military pilots couldn't see it from that angle.
@@GNMi79 Yes, wondering that too. That close, direct path, the lights? It seems suspicious to me could something have taken control of the helicopter, chip, something that blinded them? Who worked on that helicopter prior? So horribly sad for these Families.
There is a good video on youtube where a pilot gives a step-by-step account, with voice transmissions from the tower and pilots . Most likely the helicopter spotted a different plane.
I am not buying the BS that the helicopter saw the wrong plane. Someone put thst out there and everyone is regurgitating it without thinking for themselves. I lived in the DC area and flew in and out of Reagan many times. I know how busy that airport can get, especially in the evenings when planes are landing their final flight for the day. I now live near Sky Harbor airport in Phoenix and from my back yard on South Mountain I can watch in the evenings the planes stacking and lining up for landing. It can be as many as 8 to 10 planes visible stacking up. You can clearly see them. Landing lights lit up like a string of xmas lights. This happens every evening, 365 days a year. Helicopter pilots stationed at Ft. Belvior, who fly in the DC area, should be well aware of planes stacking up to land at Reagan every evening. It is not good enough for the helicopter acknowledging seeing a single plane. That pilot should be looking for and be aware of all planes lining up for landing. All of them in her vicinity. There is something seriously wrong with these helicopter pilots that needs investigation.
Pretty big coincidence imo that the crash happened so close to the White House... I think that by itself causes me to think it may very well be an intentional crash.
Planes have a predetermined path to follow when taking off and landing. Whatever was going on in that helicopter pilot's mind is the key to finding out what happened.
Helicopter in no way should have crossed the Potomac during peak landing time at DCA at that time. It’s the fault of the helicopter and tower to hold the Blackhawk and descend before proceeding
If they are suspending helicopter flights in that area then it is obvious they never should have allowe them in the first place! If the military had said they need to train dropping bombs on the airfield then I suppose they would have been authorised until something went wrong??? That is the level they are at!
Yesterday Washington, today Philadelphia ... tomorrow? This is what happens when neither the government nor the private sector will invest in training of pilots and air traffic controlers. Air transport security is not a profit center!
That was suicide by a helicopter because they wouldn't reveal his name or who he was. And from the video, you can see the helicopter was far enough to wait for the plane to land. He was asked by the controller can he see the helicopter. He responded yes. You can see the helicopter at a higher altitude than the plane and it goes lower to fly into it at a high speed. This was no accident, period !! This was intentional. The plane was already on course to land, it could not slow down, and the helicopter could have easily changed course or slowed down. There is a whole wide open-air space. The plane could have only gone straight otherwise it would stall and crash. So I don't care what NTSB said or the government. The video and air traffic voice recording is enough evidence. Plain and simple !! The plane was intentionally hit by the helicopter. Truly unfathomable for those people who never knew what was coming. Texting their loved ones they're about to land and not know it will be the last seconds. It is not a joke, appreciate the ones you have. Because we all have timers in our life and time always runs out. We don't get to say when but we all have an end date, some sooner than others. Many of us won't see you tomorrow. Tell the ones you love every day and show it through actions. No argument is bigger than losing them. Rest In Peace 🙏
The black hawk helicopter pilot was a woman. The army only released the names of the two male soldiers accompanying her. The male instructor was the one talking to ATC, but he wasn't flying the helicopter. The army won't release the female pilots name. It's very sus.
I wonder since this was a helicopter and a military one if that is why there was no auto avoidance system. Don't planes have an auto avoidance system between them that will automatically choose one to go up and one to go down so they will never crash into each other? Of course this has not been applied to plane-to-ground/parked plane issues.
there's no auto-avoidance system that ive ever heard of, except in F-16's which have a GCAS that can force a nose-up pitch in case the pilot has lost consciousness. but here, the CRJ would have had TCAS but a CA or RA is not given below 1000ft because it could direct one aircraft in to the ground. and also, there was a leaked video of the ATC scope which showed a CA give off a warning15-20 seconds before impact. i do wonder, though, if the CRJ received a TCAS alert even though they could not do anything about it really.
Tower controller did the right thing asking the helo pilot to identify traffic then instruct to remain visually seperated... this is common practice. Altitude is harder to track at lower altitudes and it is published at what altitude the felo traffic can fly in this area of Potomac. It is plausible that the helo pilot was tracking the plane to the right and thought this was the traffic to avoid. It is also plausible that the helo pilot did not see the landing lights of the crj since they are directional and would not be bright looking at the side of the plane. Those lights are to illuminate the runway ahead. (At night in the city there are a sea of lights everywhere. Unless that aircraft was flying directly at them, the landing lights would not be seen) this was 2 aircraft flying perpendicular to each other. It was reported that the helo pilots were flying higher than allowed thus busting into an approach corridor in use.
for god's sake - no - ATC did NOT say the right thing. the right thing would have been "PAT25 STOP IMMEDIATELY co-altitude traffic at your 10 o'clock CRJ on final for rwy33" but instead they dropped the ball and on top of that, PAT25 was OFF COURSE and at 300-400ft AGL when it's max altitude for that corridor is 200ft AGL. this is mostly on the helo but also on ATC. they half-a**ed the call-out.
Rule number one, no two aircraft are to occupy the same altitude in the same area, at the same time. Also, any light or dot on your pilot windscreen that does not move is very very hard to detect with the abundant amount of nighttime light pollution. Add possible use of nightvision goggles, and now you begin to see the compounding factors.
The military must identify the helicopter pilot! Apparently her family has requested her identity be withheld, which is ridiculous considering she is most likely the main cause of this crash.
@@SheLoveSports I’m not sure if it has been mentioned verbally, but there are multiple articles written about it on multiple news websites including in the Sky News and the New York Times.
I've listened to several experienced pilots and controllers say that two controllers would have made it more difficult because the two would have had to take time to communicate to each other about what to do. It wouldn't have fixed this situation is what the experts seem to think.
For gods sake, grow up. What a childish and pathetic comment to make. That's like someone saying that the female pilot, who actually identifies as an albino dragon with down syndrome that's undergone gender reassignment surgery all due to the pressures from the Biden administration to embrace whatever perverted fantasies she/he/it has is the underlying fault of the DC crash. Those pesky Democrats.
Not 9/11. It is American Airlines Flight 587. It crashed in New York on November 12th, 2001. 260 dead. Not to blame you, but this is the kind of speculation that causes rumors and conspiracy theories to run rampant. A few minutes of research would have revealed this. It was pilot error, causing structural failure of the vertical stabilizer.

True, so black boxes will simply confirm inputs made for both pilots.

So did the helicopter

The plane was 5 secs away from landing. The helo was told by ATC. What eedgit flies in front of a runway above a ceiling, breaking FAA rules?

I think helicopters should never fly any where around domestic and international airports at high altitude
YOU GOTTA BE IDIOTIC TO HAVE ALLOWED HELICOPTERS IN SUCH A SMALL AND CONGESTED AIRPORT LIKE THIS ONE
But DEI
Another plane crashed in Philadelphia. No survivors, either.
When?
Small medical plane carrying 6 people
Putin watched the video: Damn it! Our missile hit passenger jet again.
sending prayers to the victims and their families...
Just awful.
Hopefully a future president will release these confidential documents for us to get the truth
You mean after over 99% of them have already been released, like with the JFK files?
The plane went low and the copter went high they couldn’t see each other.
I can’t sleep or eat. So sad.
guess the blackhawk didnt have any windows to look around
There’s 2 CRJs in the full video how about hold your pattern Blackhawk we have high traffic / not clear to proceed
My deepest Condolences. May they find all bodies. Tragic accident.
The government did this
No, just biden
Where do you fools come from?
Hmmm this the comment I was looking for
The deep state already started to destabilize the Trump administration. It's gonna get much worse!
Yesterday Washington, today Philadelphia ... tomorrow? This is what happens when neither the government nor the private sector will invest in training of pilots and air traffic controlers. Air transport security is not a profit center!
The FAA has been under staffed for years. This is yet another example of cutting back.
I dont even care about what the video has to say. WHY IS THE ARMY NOT TAKING RESPONSABILITY FOR THIS!🗣🗣🗣
That was suicide by a helicopter because they wouldn't reveal his name or who he was. And from the video, you can see the helicopter was far enough to wait for the plane to land. He was asked by the controller can he see the helicopter. He responded yes. You can see the helicopter at a higher altitude than the plane and it goes lower to fly into it at a high speed. This was no accident, period !! This was intentional. The plane was already on course to land, it could not slow down, and the helicopter could have easily changed course or slowed down. There is a whole wide open-air space. The plane could have only gone straight otherwise it would stall and crash. So I don't care what NTSB said or the government. The video and air traffic voice recording is enough evidence. Plain and simple !! The plane was intentionally hit by the helicopter. Truly unfathomable for those people who never knew what was coming. Texting their loved ones they're about to land and not know it will be the last seconds. It is not a joke, appreciate the ones you have. Because we all have timers in our life and time always runs out. We don't get to say when but we all have an end date, some sooner than others. Many of us won't see you tomorrow. Tell the ones you love every day and show it through actions. No argument is bigger than losing them. Rest In Peace 🙏
The black hawk helicopter pilot was a woman. The army only released the names of the two male soldiers accompanying her. The male instructor was the one talking to ATC, but he wasn't flying the helicopter. The army won't release the female pilots name. It's very sus.
I'm so sorry for the bereaved families. This is horrendous beyond words. May God comfort them all. Zambia😢 🇿🇲
Why didn’t the helicopter see the passages jet
Military ain’t what it used to be
I wonder since this was a helicopter and a military one if that is why there was no auto avoidance system. Don't planes have an auto avoidance system between them that will automatically choose one to go up and one to go down so they will never crash into each other? Of course this has not been applied to plane-to-ground/parked plane issues.
there's no auto-avoidance system that ive ever heard of, except in F-16's which have a GCAS that can force a nose-up pitch in case the pilot has lost consciousness. but here, the CRJ would have had TCAS but a CA or RA is not given below 1000ft because it could direct one aircraft in to the ground. and also, there was a leaked video of the ATC scope which showed a CA give off a warning15-20 seconds before impact. i do wonder, though, if the CRJ received a TCAS alert even though they could not do anything about it really.
Tower controller did the right thing asking the helo pilot to identify traffic then instruct to remain visually seperated... this is common practice.
Altitude is harder to track at lower altitudes and it is published at what altitude the felo traffic can fly in this area of Potomac.
It is plausible that the helo pilot was tracking the plane to the right and thought this was the traffic to avoid.
It is also plausible that the helo pilot did not see the landing lights of the crj since they are directional and would not be bright looking at the side of the plane. Those lights are to illuminate the runway ahead. (At night in the city there are a sea of lights everywhere. Unless that aircraft was flying directly at them, the landing lights would not be seen) this was 2 aircraft flying perpendicular to each other.
It was reported that the helo pilots were flying higher than allowed thus busting into an approach corridor in use.
for god's sake - no - ATC did NOT say the right thing. the right thing would have been "PAT25 STOP IMMEDIATELY co-altitude traffic at your 10 o'clock CRJ on final for rwy33" but instead they dropped the ball and on top of that, PAT25 was OFF COURSE and at 300-400ft AGL when it's max altitude for that corridor is 200ft AGL. this is mostly on the helo but also on ATC. they half-a**ed the call-out.
@@showspotterATC was a DEI
Thanks trump
So very sad
Whose is that female voice?
Rule number one, no two aircraft are to occupy the same altitude in the same area, at the same time.
Also, any light or dot on your pilot windscreen that does not move is very very hard to detect with the abundant amount of nighttime light pollution.
Add possible use of nightvision goggles, and now you begin to see the compounding factors.
Ask the military aviation about ACT reports and you'll get some answers
Repeat of the same news we already knew.
Something is deff fishy
yeah, pilot was under mind control and was instructed to end their life by flying into a plane.
@@theboringchannel2027yeah aliens probably contacted him telling him to do this
@ I was thinking aliens or space lazers for sure.
This how cursd work 😢
Boeing back at it again 😬
Man you a drunk bruh
The military must identify the helicopter pilot! Apparently her family has requested her identity be withheld, which is ridiculous considering she is most likely the main cause of this crash.
It was a white man
It's only because of the comments' section that I have learned that the pilot was a woman. I have been looking at coverage sporadically.
@@stevanledesma9651 no it wasn’t. There were two men and a woman in the helicopter.
@@SheLoveSports I’m not sure if it has been mentioned verbally, but there are multiple articles written about it on multiple news websites including in the Sky News and the New York Times.
The voice from PAT25 talking to ATC sounds like a male voice to me.
RIP
I smell a cover up coming
crashed now in Philadelphia😢😢
all planned
@ it’s very odd because the plane crash in Philadelphia. The plane took off 40 seconds after crashing.
Yes medical plane😢
Would not it have been easier to have a SECOND traffic controller rather than navy divers, NTSB people, and cops and firemen from three counties?
I've listened to several experienced pilots and controllers say that two controllers would have made it more difficult because the two would have had to take time to communicate to each other about what to do. It wouldn't have fixed this situation is what the experts seem to think.
It would have been easier to not have the helicopter there in the first place.
This is Trump's America we have two crashes already
If this is not sarcasm the idiot cells are reproducing in your brain at an unprecedented level.
For gods sake, grow up. What a childish and pathetic comment to make. That's like someone saying that the female pilot, who actually identifies as an albino dragon with down syndrome that's undergone gender reassignment surgery all due to the pressures from the Biden administration to embrace whatever perverted fantasies she/he/it has is the underlying fault of the DC crash. Those pesky Democrats.
Dei helicopter pilot..
Drone's I'll bet u
“Deadliest crash in more than two decades”
* does some quick math *
oh…OHHHH…
Not 9/11. It is American Airlines Flight 587. It crashed in New York on November 12th, 2001. 260 dead. Not to blame you, but this is the kind of speculation that causes rumors and conspiracy theories to run rampant. A few minutes of research would have revealed this. It was pilot error, causing structural failure of the vertical stabilizer.
Your math is wrong. November 2001 flight 587 is what they’re referring to
Routine exercise

Trump2025 for you
whats next?
@@prodtheo economic collapse
@@buttercup2573-g5m, not if President Trump’s declaring an energy emergency is heeded. The increase in energy production will fuel an increase in the national economic output. A strong economy needs abundant, reliable, and easily available energy to exist. President Trump is giving the green light to the energy production industry in the USA to produce more energy which will be a big boost to economic activity here in the USA.
Damn, you people are so butt hurt to make such an immature comment. For f sake grow up kiddies. For people looking in from outside the US, comments such as yours are comical. You are making Americans out to be a laughing stock. Get it together.
@@nickr2663 WE ARE the laughing stock of the World!! Because of the republicans.

Fear only has the power you give it. It keeps you distracted, divided, and convinced that questioning is dangerous. But ask yourself-who benefits from your fear? What if the truth has been in front of you all along, but fear kept you from seeing it?
