Are we all watching the same video? Cause I see a helicopter crashing into an airplane not the other way around.
@@Joshwa04 Thank you! No one can tell me that the plane hit the helicopter it is so obvious that the helicopter hit the plane
The plan was landing. LIkely was alreayd on glideslope onto final. It was reported that ATC said the helo had visual on the plane. so, if that's the case, why the crash? There was plenty of time to avoid an aerial collision.
The plane is coming towards the camera and the helicopter was moving across.. Are you seriously so stupid that you don't understand how perspective works?
Looks like the helicopter flew right into the plane on purpose.
It doesn't look like a helicopter at all.
Well a chopper will take off vertically whereas a plane needs space to land/takeoff. Commercial pilots check in with the Air traffic control every step of the way under threat of massive personal fines. My money is on military incompetence
@@jaylongton MAGA will believe anything their imaginations come up with.
@@AlanRipman Chopper is also supposed to be a lot more nimble and maneuverable. Could have been some sort of failure that sent the chopper flying right into the jet though. Really hard to tell when the only footage looks like it was shot on a motorola camera phone from 2002...maybe bigfoot was on the plane.
@@Letyourcolorsblendwithmine This comment doesn't make sense as you can't see much on the video
But its movement isn't unlike a helicopter
The helicopter literally looked like it was heading STRAIGHT to the airplane. This could be something sinister. Because there is no way the helicopter did not notice that plane way before
That looked eerily intentional. My heart just sank
oh great, the alex jones theories coming out already.
@ im not coming with any conspiracy theories. I do think this was an accident. Just unfathomable how this even happened
@@zengrath are you dumb? Anyone not an idiot like you would say the same thing just looking at the video
@@zengrath don't be crass
this is going to be something sinister. I just feel it
that feeling is the tumor growing in your brain
@@zosowon You doubting his sixth sense? His connection to divinity?
@@HITTHEROAD19 💀
How does this even happen??!!
Intentional.

dumbass military
How does anything happen?
Nothing is fully perfect, mistakes happen

Where is the footage from the airport? And not this footage from six miles away.
remember the pentagon on 9/11, of course they don't
Condolences from Poland to the whole families, that's very sad and terrible.😢😭
The passenger plane was coming in for a landing, the helo came from the side and ran into the plane. Looks like the military helo deliberately flew into the plane. They had to have seen it in time and should have not been flying into landing or take off pathways.
Im right there with you how can anyone say the plane hit the helicopter!!?? I see the helicopter coming and hitting the plane
@susanbright7075 yea..it's crazy...looking forward to any other angles being on film. Flight path confirmed and affirmed by the air traffic controllers for the DC 10...at the beginning of the clip, you can see another passenger plane taking off from the same runway
Someone just got assassinated
Wouldn’t air traffic control know that the aircrafts were in danger of crashing?
Look closely the helicoter sped up and rammed the airliner
Yes, They sent out some warnings to them. I haven't heard the actual recording but It all happened within 12 seconds of being notified.
@ wow so sad.
@ looks like it may be to me.
@@DanielHoerle-ww9so smh. I feel like this is only the beginning. I hate to think that tho.
How about the heafline should say military helicopter hits commercial airline...
Military plane and commercial airline collide. Shouldn't be biased either way even with how it looks at this point. For all we know the helicopter lost control due to a malfunction...In a chopper when you lose control it tends to result in flying toward death like a missile.
That would raise to many questions the deep state does not want the target known
@@funfun5656 Sorry not buying it looks like a deliberate hit job. Like Oswald assassinated JFK. The driver did it lookat the Zapruder film the driver brandished a gun over his left shoulder.
You are exactly right
Reports are saying that the pilots were wearing night vision, which is a terrible idea at that altitude in the city, all that light will blind you.
To be fair reporters are generally completely full of $hit
How did they even take off?! Night vision is for the desert/forest
Lord have mercy 😱
Must've had a whistleblower on that flight
maybe
Sad thing is this could have easily been avoided
you can LITERALLY see the helicopter adjust its height at the last second, INSURING it was the right height before impact 🤦🏽♂️
That was a darn HIT. Intentional. Blackhawks do not crash. That helicopter came up on that plane like a driver with road rage rams the vehicle in front of him. This is very bad.
I'm Korean and so sorry to hear this tragic news. SO SO SAD 😢 How could this happen!
BTW the guy who has written super long comment in Korean is using broken Korean, full of grammatic errors and talking about Korean president Yoon and US-Korea alliance very negatively, which is totally wrong! I believe the comment was generated by C/hi/nese AI, please don't take the comments seriously 🤨 the comment is crazy
This day and age no idea who's comments are real 😊
This footage is clear enough. We can clearly see after the passenger plane gets hit by the helicopter, the airliner falls like a rock, straight down tumbling or rotating over and over as it hits the lake at 150 plus MPH which is why there is nothing but pieces left of it.
I'm nervous now because I live next to the airport where there's a military base and helicopters fly along the path where the plane lands.
So much Symbolism in the Title 👁️
The helicopter had to have known that the plane was there.🤔
the helicopter pilot makes no attempt to avoid the plane?
But they were far away from each other
악마들의 뿌리가 깊습니다. 무고한 희생자들이 발생하여 너무 마음이 아픕니다. 함께 기도드리겠습니다..
Considering what Black Hawk has in terms of avionics, all warning alerts etc. , this is not an accident. It was a clear night and visible . President Trump has very good questions about the accident. I hope federals investigate what actually happened. Condolences to all the families who lost their loved ones in this tragic event.
stupidest accident in 2025!.
Helicopter is very Suspicious!
Could this have been a TERROR ATTACK??
Yes
as a pilot i can say NO
No way that helicopter did that by accident. That plane was right there in it's face!!! There was plenty of time to stop it 😢
I wonder if the air traffic controllers who are federal employees were possibly losing track of who supposed to be working with the lay offs and other things goin gon in the federal government.
Looks like the helicopter pilot was suicidal.
This all seams fishy
Something about this makes no sense
America. First word country right? Look at the competence of their pilots and air traffic control
"American Airlines plane collides with military helicopter". Not what happened. The helicopter collided with the plane Looked like it was intentional.
The helicopter hit the plane so what's the cover up
How could the helicopter not see the plane something seems off
did the helicopter survive?
Who was onboard will fuel or douse the speculation of purposeful or not.
They just took out a possible whistleblower
As of Friday the FAA started imposing new flight restrictions on helicopters operating near the airport. Pity they didn't implement these restrictions sooner because if they did 64 plus people would still be alive.
Why are they saying that the plane hit the helicopter when it is obvious that the helicopter hit the plane, what is the cover up
My first mental picture was about the first plane that hit the twin towers. It has the same eerie feel. The fact that it crashed into the plane with a precision to split it in half instantly and at the precise height so that it would not allow those within to grab floats, jump, or call a loved one, because it went down in seconds is VERY suspicious!
Remember Malaysia Airline Flight 370
Trust your gut instincts.
Something's not right here.
It's a suicide mission.. because one of the passenger is a Filipino chief PNP..
From looking at the path of both the jet and the helicopter the helicopter pilot was surely at fault. He should not have even been flying in The pathway of landing crafts for the airport should not have been over the river and could have spotted the jet and made a lefthand turn away from the jet if he was paying attention.
No matter how i look at it the helicopter seems to be the one that hit the plane
ATC screwed up bad
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
TRUMP DID THIS.
Biden 4 yrs of DEI hires..
@@paultaylor7570 You people remind me of the 2017 democrats that called everything racist and sexist. To you guys everything that you don’t understand is DEI 😂
Interesting facts. Now who was the kamikaze 🤔😔
Trump did not*. Most of the things you say are exaggeraed like the jan 21,22,28.
That military helicopter had radar right? Inexperienced helicopter pilots still see that massive airliner in their radar right?
skill issue
This seemed like a suicide kamakazi mission. They need to find out if someone important was on that plane.
Why Cameras from America are always shitty?
Didnt Trump disband the Aviation Commision, and send out a retirement demand to a bunch of senior Air Traffic Controllers? Weird how DEI is getting the blame
What ! Why?😅
Tonya stokes again
I saw it from a different angle...there were 2 planes, One taking off and one landing...the copter could have missed the one landing (especially if they were wearing night vision goggles) and acknowledged the one taking off...then veered right into the landing plane
As a former military helicopter pilot, I'm praying for all involved. Aviation is dangerous. We make it seem easy, but accidents happen.
너무 뒤에서 갖다 박은 느낌인데? 인위적이야
By god if your mother was on that flight would you have said " WHAT IS AMAZING ABOUR IT"
USE LANGUAGE WITH BRAINS
Absolutely intentional. These are strange times. There is no possible way that helicopter did not see them
Nonsense
I just don't get how that happened how did the helicopter pilot hit a plane maybe I missed it in the news
Why was this Helicopter 🚁 practicing around an airport that has commercial flair planes coming in and out of this airport? Ok if they use that airport!! Fly off in the air where there's plentyyyy of air space?!
What next Jesus Christ
What a horrible tragedy. It's such a tough world out there - blessings to you all. - John 11:25-26
Hmmm was the heli being flown by some manchurian candidate type dudes
That was a setup by our beloved gov
Damn right it was they wanted a particular person taken out on that plane
The pilot was female
People are asking how is it possible?the reality is this is how many soul u've to give to be the president of united states again
The military helicopter is the guilty 100% 3 reason very inportant 1 doing military maneuver when is not necessary , a training day can wait for better time 2 using night vision goggles when is withe light around flashing 3 and more inportant helicopter is easy to maneuver more that a plain helicopter can go up and down faster and more a militar helicopter easy to maneuver
Air traffic controls they are no free to
Who was on that plane,just joe shmo or some one else?

Praying for all involved and thankful that we still have the NTSB and FAA. With all the destruction of government programs and agencies over the last, this tragedy could've been even worse.
Which government programs have been destroyed ???
any agency that could prevent this is intact and comments suggesting politics during a tragedy is distasteful
@darj777 tRUMP gutting necessary agencies is distasteful. If you can't stand the truth, put on fux news

Either one of them failed to yield lanes or didn't use turn signals or most likely flying under the influence.
Or it was on purpose
Turn signal 🤣
Maybe it was a BMW
Musk is upset at the FAA for fining SpaceX. Coincidence?

@@darj777 Trump must have received his "common sense" info from you. Bet Trump won’t apologize though. He loves allowing a lie to fester to get you all riled up. LOL If I know you in real life, pretty sure I can take advantage of you.
There could be a pocket of air down there with survivors, what has been recovered??
I suggest you take look at the video "Analyzing the Mid-Air Collision Over the Potomac":. I agree with the assessment. The pilot(s) of the Black Hawk copter was looking at the wrong plane ( they said they could see it)...not realizing that a different plane was coming in to land. You may ask how can that happen, well a few things.
1. It was night. 2.There were many planes taking off and coming into land 3. The passenger flight was using the tower communication and pilots would be going through landing procedures and had already been cleared to land, so pretty much didn't need to communicate with the tower any more. 4.Military helicopters can be very noisy in the cabin. 5. The AA passenger flight would only have seen the copter at the very last moment, (due to color and size) which was too late and the Black Hawk didn't have time for evasive action...which had they would have been far easier in terms of changing direction. This tells you, he had less than 2 - 5 seconds max.
Seems reasonable to assume that the Black Hawk just didn't realize it was in the flight path and the AA flight sadly and tragically hit it, through no fault of its own.
One caveat, how did the tower not see that the calculation of descent/speed/and altitude of both the Blackhawk, and that of the AA path to runway, could potentially (and did) have fatal consequences. That's definitely one for the investigation. The answers will come in time. Prayers and thoughts for all those families.
what were the crew of that helicopter doing?, perhaps playing games. the plane was about to land and the helicopeter came and hit the plane on one of its sides, pathetic. apparently a few soldiers were on board of that helicopter, most likely tried to show off for the passengers of the plane.
@@thereisnogod6240 or it was intended
Why do you think it's a helicopter? Looks like a missile to me.
@@Letyourcolorsblendwithmine because missiles dont have flashing lights on them like most aircraft do
It was a black hawk and those helicopters are huge.. they were 3 people on board, 2 pilots and 3rd monitoring… Looks INTENTIONAL to me… The Army better investigate and be honest on what the hell happened.
