I posted my comment from the top and didn’t see yours. Tragic accident and all too preventable, but pretty much every accident can be prevented if just one of the links in the accident chain can be broken. Tale as old as time, unfortunately.

VH-60 “Gold Top” Blackhawk used for VIP transport. Highly likely that it had TCAS given its job, but the AIB/NTSB report will be where that’s confirmed.

He’s better at piloting than the pilots!

TCAS is inoperable under 1000ft.

99% is the helicopter’s fault. Approach and departure is so regimented at DCA, the AA flight was certainly exactly where it was supposed to be. There are helicopters EVERYWHERE around DC, at all times, and they possibly need to be tightened up. As they say, every aviation regulation is written in blood. And the vast…

Aircraft was on an approach to a different runway than usually used, so helicopter pilot may have fixated on wrong aircraft on approach. He told ATC he had the plane in sight, but speculation is he had the wrong plane in sight.

Comments on other boards indicate TCAS notifications are off under a certain altitude on civilian aircraft. I don’t think military helos have TCAS.

I saw somewhere else that it was a training flight on a VFR. My offhand guess is they were off-course and it didn’t get corrected by ATC.

DEI hire in Reagan ATC for sure. Or maybe the helicopter pilot’s second cousin is trans. Or maybe this is why we should re-designate them Sikorsky “White-Hawks.”

But seriously, this is horrible. My heart is with all the victims and their families. Accidents happen and that doesn’t make it okay, but the cynic in me is…

This has to be a humiliation fetish

Well, you certainly have your boot-fellating abilities on full display, don’t you?

Post up bro.

So “actual free speech” is platforming Nazis and suspending journalists and anyone who says “cis”?

I’m not going to use my time to tell you you’re wrong.  I’m going to use my time to tell you that you’re a piece of nazi sucking shit. 

Nobody cares about you lickin’ Elon’ huevos, chief. 

Musk bought Twitter then allowed all of the Nazis back on Twitter. He knows EXACTLY what he was doing.

The richest guy in the world is a 4chan reject apartheid nazi shitlord, what a time to be alive. 

That’s Jack. I enjoy that they review normal-people cars and are very attuned to the realities of manufacturing, production, marketing, and cost.

Instead of complaining about clickbait, I just don’t click on it. As a result my feed is full of good creators (savagegeese) and I have no clue who any of these other people are (except TDIB, which I’m on subbed to b/c of his old Mustang content).

“The peak of modern engineering towards a purpose is dumb and boring because I can’t afford it” Like you don’t find the concept of a McLaren F1 or Bugatti Veyron interesting?
