Based on the video and audio, I'm about 95% sure that this is the fault of the air traffic control.

1- Neither aircraft attempts to divert coarse before the impact.
2- The pilot says, "Tower, do you see that?" a couple seconds before impact in a totally calm voice.
3- The air traffic controller is totally calm and doesn't issue either aircraft an alert.
4- It looked like the jet was landing and the helicopter was crossing the airfield at close to a 90* angle. Both of these things are extremely common for their respective aircraft.
5- I don't believe either aircraft carries a radar package, and they were flying at night, likely through a combination of instruments, sight, and specific directions from the tower.
6- The National Black Coalition of Federal Aviation Employees (NBCFAE, yuck) is a shady DEI organization that's been accused of actions that lower the standards and capabilities of the ATC profession in general.

The only way these fucking things hit each other is because they were authorized by the tower to do so safely. The only people there with the information to accurately make that call are the controllers. They know your heading, altitude, airspeed, pitch, etc., and they are responsible for telling pilots exactly what, where, and when. There's also a plethora of audio recordings from the last decade of what sounds to be black/Hispanic women giving pilots bad information and the pilots arguing with them. One that comes to mind is a lady arguing with a pilot because she's telling him to land on a runway where planes are actively taking off. Had he not argued with her, something like this would have likely happened.

Be prepared to find out this is because some retard that should have never been there wasn't doing their job. That, or there was some kind of catastrophic equipment failure that was giving the tower inaccurate information, but it didn't sound like it from the short audio recording. Fuck the 9 second clip. I'd like to hear everything the tower said from the time the jet established communication with the tower.

Edit- A former pilot in one of the other treads makes a very compelling argument that the helicopter pilots are likely at fault. Some of his points nullify mine and I definitely defer to his expertise. I worked on the ground, not in the air.

A midair fireball followed by dropping into the Potomac in January? I'm seeing some reports from 30-45 minutes ago that they may have pulled 4 survivors from the water and transported them to local hospitals. We can pray. But that they found 4 with enough signs of life to transport is a miracle unto itself.

The "Tower Do You See That" was when the Fireball lit up. Another plane was trying to alert the tower to the collision. From the audio it sounds like ATC was instructing the Blackhawk to pass behind the CRJ700. And asked the pilots to confirm they had a visual on the plane.

Nothing to do with the accident itself, but I was able to find a full flight video someone took with the same CRJ in 2020.

Going through more videos this aircraft seems to be pretty well documented. Here is a video featuring it that has 164k views.

ATC recording of another incident that the plane was involved in.

Jesus fucking christ! If it wasn't for this site I'd probably wouldn't have seen this news.Despiteit being a massive fuckup and tragedy, at the very LEAST it isn't just more fucking fear mongering about donald trump supposedly being a "secret neo nazi puppet to neo nazi REAL PRESIDENT elon musk who will kill all jews and transpeople and minorities and YOU SPECIFICALLY! YES YOU THE ONE READING THIS!" and how "only trump/elon supporters don't think this is true because they are retarded or possibly in on it too!" I've been fucked over for about a decade by deranged politics narrative pushers only to now watch the few people I'm close to who suffered the same shit but to a slightly lesser extent suddenly turn into fucking skinwalkers constantly parroting this shit at me, and if I was just a TAD more schizo I'd probably go full on Francis E. Dec about all this!

Anyways as others said in here holy shit I hope that the survivors turn out ok.
