Absolutely speechless. I selected this apartment so I could watch the planes take off and land every night; never imagined I’d look out the window to see this. Praying for the folks onboard American Airlines Flight 5342. I’m so sorry I can’t string together a better sentence.

I feel like 2025 will be the year of the crazy nutz balls.

They're completely wrong. I live near an Army base, and I see PAT flights all the time, and we don't get generals or congresscritters here. They're usually military versions of a King Air, but they're definitely on ADS-B as PAT<somenumber>, and aren't part of the DC/VA detachment.

I get what you’re saying but unless you see everyone coming off the choppers they could just be hiding that information for security purposes.

FYI: the automated collision avoidance system (TCAS) doesn't work at low altitudes.

From the available video and the flight track, it looks like the jet was where it was supposed to be and the black hawk overtook its flight path from the side, causing the collision.

Don't most plane crashes happen during takeoff or landing?

Well all crashes eventually land on the ground.

Why the fuck would you train next to an airport at night?

 

[Breadbassket]

Washington Post continues to report bodies are being pulled from the Potomac but no survivors have been found yet.

 

[OrionBalls]

Only because Leftists kill people all the time with incompetence and the number is too high to celebrate. How many people died because in train derailments under Biden?

I'm counting fourteen between 2021-now, though I could be wrong. But what does that have to do with this, other than the NTSB being involved in investigating all these cases?

If only they had been able to hire someone with a week of experience, surly that would have prevented this.

Probably some kid getting his brainrotted early on slop so they don’t annoy the parents.

Apparently the helicopter was on a training flight.
