American Airlines Jet collides with a Black Hawk Mid air in DC!!!!





I have flown that route in many times and the Blackhawks are there monitoring protocol for all flights. You can actually see them from the plane especially at night if you are sitting in the right seat. The commercial planes are on a no fly zone only for the Potomac and if they stray away from the Potomac they will be shot down.

The flight path is literally over our DoD.

I read that the Blackhawk was on a training exercise at the time of the collision.

They do training missions over the Anacostia and potomac all the time. I remember when I first moved to DC and freaked out going over the douglass bridge and seeing some military peeps jumping out of a black hawk helicopter into the river one morning. Something is not adding up here.

My marital home is close to Andrews Airforce base. I would see the helicopters flying over the house. Also, I saw the President helicopter fly over all the time.
 
He's not mentally unstable at all... he's feeding into his base. This is the type of stuff they give them for motivation to hate minorities. They know they won't bother to see it any way other than the way they tell it. I don't think some of you realize that a lot of those folks really do believe all of this stuff. That's a benefit of having a large and uneducated base. These folks took the presidency, the supreme court, the house AND the senate. There's over 70 million folks out there that believe every bit of this. We see it as nonsense, they don't.

I'm not going to say all of his base is uneducated. A lot of them ARE. Trump, the right, and their influencer networks have done a masterful job of playing on stereotypes, fears, already long-held biases and racial animus to their advantage.

I think it was a crew error. When. Flying the pilot in the UH-60 aka Black Hawk is looking ahead. The crew chief is checking the gauges and looking out the window. The other guy the third crew member is also looking from the other side. They are telling the pilot what they see all while doing other functions. They bird can go up to 400 ft but the problem is they were wearing night vision goggles which is basically impossible to see out of with no moon light. Someone didn't check off and gauged wrong when looking out the side of the bird. They more than likely saw the reflection of the lights on the other airplanes nearby and thought they had a chance of going above the plane. I could be wrong but the FMS which sits in the middle is where all the activities going on inside the Bird is what they were focusing on. The UH-60 is designed not to be seen at night it does have lights on the bottom in each corner but those are spot lights.

Copilot?

If you listen to the actual recording between ATC and the blackhawk, ATC told the blackhawk pilot as plain as day to allow the jet to come through first and THEN come behind. It was a training exercise for the military so the pilot of the blackhawk was 100% at fault here.

The co polit is the crew chief in Army regulation. It takes a lot to fly and manage a uh-60. The crew chief lost his line of sight. While the polit is talking to the atc the third crew member is monitoring the traffic coming over the radio. He and the crew chief are both looking outside the window at the same time. Standard operation
