Actually, that airspace has usually been more for military but over the years, since changed to Reagan, they wanted more commercial flights. It normally works but an accident is just an accident.
I don't think the helicopter ever saw that jet until impact. The pilot told ATC he had a visual but he was looking at the wrong plane. Why didn't ATC tell the copter to take immediate evasive action when they could see on radar that a crash was about to happen? ATC should have been able to tell that the copter pilot did not see the AA jet.
@@mothernature8893Cuz the pilot told ATC he saw them and called for visual separation. ATC contacted them right before confirming if the BH saw the plane and again he said yea and called for visual separation. Aint like ATC has cams in military crafts to see what the pilot is seeing
Was the ATC overworked ? Even the best man/woman who is pulling double the load for a long duration can have a micro lapse that can be a major human loss. I think pilots can fly only so many hours and then need a break - are the ATC hours protected like that?
I landed in Washington, D.C., two weeks ago for a connection. During the in-flight safety briefing before departure, the flight attendant mentioned a floatation device in case of a crash in water. When we took off, I immediately noticed that the Potomac River was partially frozen and thought to myself that if I fell into that water, I wouldn't survive more than 15 minutes. My condolences go out to all the victims and their families, as well as the D.C. community. It was a very tragic event.
I’m appalled that Trump is trying to blame DEI, Obama, and Biden for this tragic crash when the real issue was likely his own reckless decision to cut staff. RIP to the beautiful souls on board.
His cut to staff hasn’t even taken effect sooo… You people blamed Trump for all your failures over the last 4 years. You’re even blaming him for the price of eggs like he could change that in 4 days…
@mcourtois75 ~ 💔 - It's truly beyond the pale; as #47 (sorry I just can't seem to call him "President Trump" - after 10 days of nothing but retribution & chaos in Washington DC!) - cannot EVER dig deep within his narcissistic & dark soul to just be kind without a boatload of BLAME! He's an assault to everyone's mind, body & soul! Nothing but empathy, prayers & condolences to ALL the loved ones of the American Eagle & Black Hawk aircrafts ... 🕊️🙏🪽
Is it just me , or were the wing lights not working on this plane before the helicopter hit it ? And does anybody know why it appears there is something on top of the plane emanating a strong light downward right before the helicopter hit the plane ?
Breaks my heart this has happened..knowing some of the young ones had a parent with them makes a bit more bearable still so devastating tho just hits hard how fast it can all go away
The Media is unbelievable. They just lost their loved one and you just can’t let them grieve ! Should not even be trying to approach them at this time. Try telling them how sorry you are for what has happened instead of questioning them right away, so sad.
Can you explain to me why you keep repeatedly showing the collision of the two aircraft? Is once not enough? Are you trying to traumatize your audience for views?
This is heartbreaking and everyone grieving for the families politics wanna debate and argue . Get some real answers then address the issues … too many government officials and all they can do is cause chaos..
🫡 ~ #47 has to READ from a typed statement expressing his "concern" for those who perished & their families?!? Geeze - he couldn't just SPEAK on his own - without having it written down by someone in his Administration; so COLD & CALLOUS ... 😢
@FrankskinOrweed-ep4ij That will NEVER happen. He is incapable in every way, mentally unfit and unstable. He is not presidential. He takes what his minions write and stands up in front of the world, regurgitates their thoughts and words and becomes even more ignorant and lets his cowardice show for everyone to see. He has no clue how stupid and cruel and unnecessary his comments were. They don't make him stronger or look or sound stronger. This is the way of weakness. History and the higher powers of the universe will judge him.
🇺🇸 ~ In a time of an airline crash, national disaster or large scale violence --- it is the DUTY of the President of the United States of America to be calm, comforting & EMPATHETIC!!! What in God's name is wrong with #47 ... 🤯⁉️
The plane swung out a bit for the runway it was cleared for but it was supposed to. Think 18 wheeler making a left turn on a tight road... they swing left first
No, thats not what i meant. If u slow the video down to .25 seconds and look closely , it looks like theres something on top of the plane emanating a strange light downwards to the ground. I also dont see the wing lights on this commercial airliner . You can see the wing lights on the other airplanes in other footage of this " accident ", but you never see the wing lights on the plane that crashed. That seems odd to me. @NopeUghUghAbsolutelyNot
@@NopeUghUghAbsolutelyNot Cool. Let me know if u can find any footage of the doomed planes wings lights strobing before it gets hit by the helicopter , because I can't. Other commenter's are also starting to notice that it appears as if the doomed planes wings lights were turned off before the accident. That seems odd Yes ?
❤️🩹 ~ I am so sorry & send my condolences to Douglas Lane and his son; it's unimaginable to be at the airport or home waiting on loved ones to return ... only to have this horrific mid-air collision occur and so close to the runway of the Reagan National Airport ~ 🕊️🙏🪽
There were so many children on this flight. So horrific. My heart hurts.
And President Trump does not care at all. Such a sad commentary on a man who cares only for self.
Mr Lane this breaks my heart so sorry
Should never let those damn military choppers fly in commercial airspace, especially at night!!!!
Actually, that airspace has usually been more for military but over the years, since changed to Reagan, they wanted more commercial flights. It normally works but an accident is just an accident.
I am so sad for the Lane family and all other families who are directly impacted by this tragedy. I'm so so sorry for their loss.
Actually it was the Helicopters fault he flew directly into the jet !

Yes he didn’t know there was one already closer 😭😭
@mothernature8893 They did, Spanky. Go listen to the ATC recordings from last night.

U.S military cowboy antics killed those people on that plane. Who the hell conducts training exercises on an active airport traffic route

Condolences to Mr Lane for his Great loss , rest in peace 😢
The chopper pilot was a DEI hired. He should have never been begging the controls.
Heartbreaking..
I’m so sorry to all victims family 🙏🏽🙏🏽🩵
God plz comfort all the family and friends of the victims.
💔💔💔 absolutely devastating
Heart ❤ is with ALL families and friends ❤❤❤
A true ACCIDENT. They happen. Even when everyone does their job.
Sickening to see the crash 😢😢😢
Prayers for everyone
Good coverage. Thanks.
So many beautiful souls..the world is grieving..gone too soon 😢..god bless them all.
Wow so hard hear the stories of the ones lost in this crash
Training helicopter flying into Reagan National…. Is that even allowed?
What a great dad and husband. 4:07 im so sorry man...
Chuck shummer needs to just go away forever.
Truth hurts, FOTUS needs to just go away!
He turns MY stomach.
Just horrible. Totally avoidable
The Potomac used to remained iced up nearly every January until about 30 years ago.
I send my condolences to the families 🙏
So Close to the Capital !!! This is Serious 😮
Beautiful family Douglas, God will see you through you’re strong ❤
I’m appalled that Trump is trying to blame DEI, Obama, and Biden for this tragic crash when the real issue was likely his own reckless decision to cut staff.
RIP to the beautiful souls on board.
I’m not sure why you would be…. This is Donald Trump we are talking about

Shame on you this is tragic enough with political B.S.
@@mcourtois75 You all have blamed Trump for everything over the last 4 years. Just stop pretending you’re any better.
3:55 little fella its North Korean
Has chopper Black Box been Found ???
Blame game after firing key safety guards.
Dei hires never had safety guards.
@@northshorelight35there is ZERO evidence that any “DEI hire” had anything to do with the crash. Trump is a disgrace. You are in a cult. Seek help.
@@northshorelight35 🤡

Who were the service members who died in the helicopter?
Schumer turns my stomach 🤬
AGREED! As a matter of fact they all turn my stomach on the left.
🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢
@@M.Sforza you are one of the maga stupid, no empathy. Talk about the victims for once. Good God almighty. You and your dear leader are the same S…HT
Well, Trump turns all our stomachs, esp at that press conference so I guess we're all even.
You sickos

Not as much as trump makes me sick 🤢🤢🤢
FOTUS is your president, not ours 🤢 🤮

It’s sensationalism. It sells.
😢🙏🏽
My heart is so heavy and my stomach is sick over this. My heartfelt condolences to all the loved ones of the victims.
This is heartbreaking and everyone grieving for the families politics wanna debate and argue . Get some real answers then address the issues … too many government officials and all they can do is cause chaos..
What Barrington? Vermont…Massachusetts?
No fly zone for a reason
This. Exactly ! Ridiculous to EVER have such a possibility
I dont think this is going to end well for any of these people. RiP whoever died on this plane.
Chopper Piolet, young with little son an wife 😢
Clear Vision in Sky ...
I believe he was the crew chief. Feel so bad his 1 year old son will never get to grow up with his dad.

That thumbnail tho. 😂 welcome to bizarro racist America
Blame trump
How in the name of god could Trump say such deceptive untrue and disgusting things. Such an unempathetic evil mind.
I don’t even hate trump but he’s annoying and speaks rubbish.
He needs to learn watch his mouth and to be articulate as a president ffs

Maybe it's just my eyes , but doesn't it look like there was already something quite odd going on with the plane before the helicopter hit it ?

You don’t know whose fault. It’s an ongoing investigation. Have some empathy for the victims families
It was probably the cuts Trump made since he's been elected.
