This is what happens when you don't have Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.

How the fuck did that happen

I imagine whatever investigation they're going to do on this now is going to reveal some infuriating fuck up.

Was it Marine One?

This is almost impossible with TCAS. Both pilots should have had shit screaming at them in the cockpit of a proximity danger. Someone REALLY fucked up (most likely the chopper pilot not enabling his transponder because military pilots are retards who think shit doesn't apply to them) or this was intentional.

Technically it seems like it was a Whitehawk not a Blackhawk (pretty much the same type of helicopter though).

Marine One is a whitehawk

Was it Marine One?

From what I'm seeing it was Army, so not likely 'too big', but too early. Waiting for official reaction.

It was a white hawk? DEI would’ve stopped this.

That is not the current flight that was involved in the crash but there is a possibility it is the same aircraft. Both are Black Hawk helicopters.

Is everyone anyone alive?
E- word

How the fuck did that happen

Well you see when one aircraft likes another a little too much everyone fucking dies.

 

[Cynically Insane]

Whoever was in that helicopter was assassinated. My guess is RFK.

 

[Blewberry Nausea]

Oh shit

Is everyone alive?

No, definitely not.

 

[A Distant Northern Land]

Is everyone alive?

Nah DC EMS scanner described having a shoreline area to put corpses. If plane was full that’s at least 60 dead.

EDIT: Scanner just reported no survivors found (at all?).

I just read that Trump has been informed so it wasn't him.

THis is what's bugging me about this. If you watch the video in the OP, you can see the plane and the small flashing lights of the chopper to the side or behind it. It almost looks like the chopper rammed the fucking plane. I can see a plane not seeing a chopper if we disregard TCAS. But I can't see a fucking chopper coming in from that angle and not seeing the plane.

It's a Bombardier plane BTW
