Stop saying the aircraft collided with the helicopter. The helicopter ran into the side of the airplane. Look at your video.
It’s propaganda not to make the military look inept . All the news outlet keep saying the airline hit the heli when in fact it’s the other way around . Infact the heli had the whole airspace to dodge that big bright light in front but instead went straight to hit it. Weird
Exactly!
The government is official stating that it was the airplane that collided with the helicopter. I guess they want to be able to blame the airline for the crash.
I mean it wasn’t as if the jet was standing still
Jet was exactly where it was supposed to be, helicopter was cleared to fly behind jet, helicopter error
The Airplane was 60 seconds away from landing and had COMPLETE right of way. It was the military helicopter that was trespassing airspace of plane. Get this right.
Memory Eternal to all involved.
This is an American play like September 11 to accuse Islam again and enter wars in Islamic countries and kill more Muslims, children and women and to distort Islam... This incident cannot be a coincidence, rather the military helicopter was involved.
Indeed memory Eternal. VICHNAYA PAMYAT. They eñtered eternity unawares.
Correction, the airplane was 63 seconds away from landing.
😢 Heart Breaking

Helicopter hit plane. Get it right.

Yes but the announcer says the plane collided with helicopter as do many of the other reports from other channels and news outlets. Words.
@@jasonberezny1710 Planes go faster, so most of the impact was from the plane hitting it. It just flew in front of the plane.
@@LarsLarsen77not really faster for takeoff and landing. Since it's close to an airport, I'd say that's what the passenger jet was doing.
a training helicopter near an airport at nighttime not transmitting their data? this story doesn’t add up at all

Yes.. correct.. something is wrong somewhere..
apparently ATC asked helo pilot if he sees the commercial jet and helo pilot confirmed visual minutes before the crash. sketchy and sad

No the helicopter crashed into the jet!
Still it's considering a mid air collision
Why would a helicopter travel near the path of a landing aircraft. Let's hope this was an accident and not a deliberate crash against the airliner.
My thoughts exactly
I wonder who was on that plane?
@@pfp359 tesla whistle blower
Watching that helo fly straight towards that bright light in the sky in infuriating.
Helo was on a approved course, but was supposed to cross behind the jet, messed up, hit the jet from behind. Training mission for the helo.
R.I.P to everyone who passed. Why on earth was that helicopter not broadcasting ADS-B data in DC airspace?
Because the government has been shady since the change of hands.
That is a great question.
That's very odd indeed unless they are after a target.
ADSB is not required. We have lots of aircraft without ADSB in the NAS. This was a systematic breakdown of pilot and controller situation awareness.

Absolutely the pilot of the military helicopters fault. Why is the media continuing to say the commercial airliner collided with a military helicopter when it clearly was the military helicopter that collided with the commercial plane
Look up collision.. Jeez is English your first language?
Pete Hegseth must be bribing the media
ATC controls traffic within the terminal airspace, it is their responsibility to direct all aircraft
there was plenty of traffic and the pilot may have identified the departing aircraft as the one they were meant to pass behind
also we cannot see exactly the angles at which the two craft met each other except to put it roughly, the helicopter reportedly hit the jet on its rear right side, we cannot tell if the angles of approach prevented the helicopter pilots from seeing the approaching jet and vice versa
how is it clearly the military's fault?
the helicopter should never have been allowed to fly that course across an active flight lane in the first place, and thats on ATC
A sign a maturity is the understanding that all aircraft accidents have official investigations with official findings.
@@reubensandwich9249 So?
*The HELICOPTER "collided" with the American Eagle flight, NOT the other way around!*
Military helicopters are routinely permitted to cross the landing flight path at this airport. Airliner was doing everything right and was exactly where it should be. Helicopter is meant to confirm aircraft in sight before crossing; even at night. When you think about it, this was an accident waiting to happen. Relying on “aircraft in sight” for night-time operations is just madness.
Why???? Who honestly thought that was a good idea?
Totally agree...See my above comments...
I've flown CRJs into that airspace for years and the helicopter, which was on a training flight, probably identified the wrong aircraft. I never let the copilot land at night there. It's one of the busiest airspaces in the world. Probably not a good place for training flights!
Yup, I prefer flying into IAD instead...
Training at night?
@@asmilefromellenwell they do missions at night so it makes sense to train at night. Just not there when they have plentiful restricted airspace without passenger flight paths intersecting them.
@ As we all know, the military only fight during daytime.
But would they not see that they are heading straight for an aeroplane? Even if they identified the wrong aircraft, the correct is right there in front of you. Don't crash into it.

@@brettbono9550
Whoa .You need to smoke a joint and chill.
There is pdf on the FAA web site showing regulated helicopter air routes around Washington DC together with MAX flight heights. The Black Hawk Call sign PAT25 was flying south on route 4 pass Regan Airport with MAX height marked as 200 feet. The collision according to data was 350 feet. Why was PAT25 at 350 feet and not 200 feet?
.. I'm going to go on a limb and say the helicopter probably saw the plane at the last second. Realized it was landing on runway 33, and tried to pull up to go over it realizing the plane was descending. It would have been the best maneuver to see and avoid, but obviously too late or not enough inertia to get over the plane.
Why was he crossing the approach path of an active runway at all.
@@kellysander529.. like the other commenter stated, it appears there are helicopter routes that are normally flown through that area and maybe that helicopter was on one. Still have to see and avoid other aircraft. And also since it's a controlled airspace, ATC has the authority and requirement to instruct aircraft to avoid any accidents. That appears to be the problem here. They should have stopped asking the helicopter if they had the Airliner in sight and just given them a heading to avoid it.
@@kenito7257 Maybe the helo did try that manouvre earlier and didn't succeed. Then ATC noticed their close proximity and altitude and told the helo to pass behind the CRJ. Flightpaths show the helo turned RIGHT, the wrong direction, at 15 seconds before collision, sending it headlong into the CRJ, instead of turning LEFT in order to pass behind the CRJ, as instructed by ATC. Helo pilot executed a wrong turn.
Because he wanted to take down the plane?
This isn’t adding up. Why on earth would the helicopter be flying in restricted airport space and right in the path of landing air planes. It almost looks like it flies into the plane intentionally. Who was on these air crafts?
Russian children world champion skaters. And American child skaters
They wouldn't crash on purpose the helicopter was likely flying during the training with whatever on-board signaling equipment off or malfunctioning causing the helicopter to go un-noticed with crew or directional error.
It is a very common flight path for Army PATs flying from Davison Army Airfield to Washington DC. Happening for decades, nothing unusual or nefarious. Don't make it up just because you're not knowledgeable.
@@punknhead23but why do they fly with their ADSB off? Is it an active war zone?
Idiots. Those are the only people dumb enough to give up their rights and effectively become a slave to the US government by joining an absolute clown car of a military.
How could the helicopter not see the plane? I would not be surprised if they conclude that this was done on purpose.
Helmets, night vision googles. should not be "training" anywhere near civilians
@@jsmith123 Typical military disregard for civilians.
Really got that much faith in them being HONEST? Even with the video & control recordings already being aired. Their still the jet collided with the helicopter.
It's an approved mission, unfortunately, and your correct individuals are reporting this incorrectly already. The helicopter runned into the jet!
I always wonder if people who immediately run to conspiracy are typing from a basement they never leave out of anxiety. It was a training mission which means inexperience or air traffic bungled something
How did that heli not see all those bright lights ?.. looks like a kamikaze trajectory
That's the thing, it might just be a case of kamikaze.
It was approaching at the side, not the first, but still can't understand how they hit that plane.
So...I guess I'm going to be the one to ask this. Who was on that plane(if it turns out to be deliberate)?
Totally. weird
depth perspective at night is difficult, also. maybe the pilot was mistaken on which aircraft traffic was being called. in the video, there was another aircraft easier to see.
The elephant in the room is who gave the order to this training mission route and why? Who gave the order for this mission to be done when it was and why?
A huge question that indeed needs to be answered.
why does everyone assume what the crappy news reported meant the helicopter was actively training at that point in its flight?
they do have to transit to and from base and this airport may have been a stop
the only reason they'd be that low on that flight path meant for helicopters is because they were directed to it by ATC
are we certain that was a black hawk and not something else?
If I'm ATC I'm shitting myself tonight
Absolutely !!!! At least 90% to blame. Maybe a small portion, 10%, on the helicopter. But ATC, who's the boss, should have stopped asking if the helicopter had the plane in sight and given the instruction to make an IMMEDIATE left turn to 90 degrees or to a heading of 90 degrees. If that happened, no accident would have occurred. ATC has been getting pretty lackadaisical lately in not doing their job. They need to be more aggressive when the need arises. Come up to NY and you'll see what I mean. They're on you like flies on you know what...
@@kenito7257The facts have not been released and what is out there suggest that the helicopter was at fault. You have just jumped to a conclusion, picked a number out of air and assigned blame based no zero information. You might end up being right but I doubt it. Best to wait for a proper investigation and the data is released
Not if you work at another airport.......

Training helicopter, and it's night.
@@Andulvarbut thr plane had its lights on . Except ur blind , no chance you would miss all those lights on the wings n windows
@@nanzingdadi3205 easy. 1. Landing lights have a fairly narrow beam. So at the approaching angle all they would have seen is Nav and Beacon lights. 2. There's so much light clutter from the ground in the capital, those remaining lights wash out. The issue is you have Ronald Reagan sandwiches in between numerous military installations in a very tight corridor of Airspace. Given all of the ATC, equipment and training problems since 2020 this was a matter of time.
@@Dyson_Cyberdynesystems The CRJ, with all its lights blazing and lit up like a Christmas tree, was IN FRONT of the helo, at its 12 o'clock position, about 1km/3300ft/0.6ml away and closing in fast. So the CRJ was in the helo's face, really up close and personal. No way the helo didn't see the CRJ, despite all the light clutter from the ground. When ATC told the helo to pass behind the CRJ, the helo immediately turned, at 15 seconds before collision. BUT it turned RIGHT, the wrong direction, instead of turning LEFT in order to pass behind the CRJ. That was a fatal mistake.
@@istudios225 I just said light clutter is an issue. And if the help crew was fixated on an aircraft on their 3' clock that they mistakenly thought was the aircraft tower was referring to them yeah. It is a deadly mistake. And yes the helo pilots are the primary at fault people here under VFR. But there is going to be a component of the tower giving the turn clearance without ensuring that the helo had the correct traffic in sight. This tower has had numerous issues recently and this accident was a matter of time.
What i really want to know is what was the helicopter doing, and why was it infrount of runway 33? R.I.P 🕊️

@@renewilson2540- Just STOP with your stupid TDS. “Key top leadership” had nothing to do with this.🤯

You conspiracy theorists are really some of the most pathetic people on this planet.
If you are operating in the worlds busiest airspace why is your transponder turned off? I hope that turns out not to be the case. If so, not safe at al!!
During training transponders and other signal equipment may be turned off to simulate what flying in a warzone may be like idk if that would be done in civilian areas though
@@cloroxflavoredbleach9362 Having flown CRJs, I can tell you this would not have happened if he had it on. Maybe you should practice that in a warzone, not the busiest airspace in the USA for civilians.
.. I highly doubt anyone had their transponder off. What does happen is that at low altitudes, Sorry I can't remember if it's 1000 feet or 500 feet, all TCAS alerts to pilots are muted so as not to distract pilots taking off or landing in critical phase of flight. What should have taken place is ATC, the boss in this situation, should have stopped asking the helicopter if they had the Airliner in sight and given a command to make an IMMEDIATE left turn of 90 degrees or to a heading of 90 degrees to avoid the Airliner.
@ Thats mostly true. The command to climb or descend is disabled below 1000" but the target will still be there on the monitor. ATC is so busy there they mostly just issue instructions and move on without waiting for a response from the pilots which is expected in just about anywhere else that is not that congested. It makes things more dangerous in that airspace, hardly the place for flight training. You should wait until you get your big boy pants on before flying across the flight paths of a class B airspace with your transponder turned off. FAFO!
I wonder who was on the plane that knew too much about
Maybe dc to Kansas but Kansas to DC? Maybe
There were figure skaters there :(
@@ospectrumAnd 3 military persons
VERY good question.
2 Russian figure skaters were on that plane! That’s not just coincidence. Sorry but the Blackhawk was supposed to be at 200 ft and the crash happened at 350 ft??? And they weren’t transmitting data over restricted airspace? And Blackhawks are more sophisticated than just an average helicopter they have many warning systems that had to have been ignored! ATC even asked them if they saw the plane? Not adding up!

@@renewilson2540
Interesting!
@@renewilson2540 Helicopter was not responding
@@cameron.t how? ATC asked and got confirmation from helo pilot that he sees the commercial jet, ATC then told helo pilot flying a 22million $ helicopter with multiple sensors that are supposed to prevent things like this (even though pilot had visual) to go behind the commercial jet. Im getting this from news sources so if you know/saw something else please share.
@@renewilson2540.. Air Traffic Control is significantly to blame. It's their airspace. They're suppose to control all aircraft flying through their zones. ATC should not have kept asking if they have the plane in sight. ATC should have commanded the helicopter to do an IMMEDIATE LEFT TURN to a heading of 90 degrees away from the plane. The word immediate would indicate NOW, not 10 minutes or 10 seconds from now, but NOW. If that instruction would have been given, this wouldn't have occurred. ATC also appears to not have given the helicopter what the American Airliner jet was doing. I didnt hear ATC say to the helicopter, "Do you have the American Eagle jet landing on runway 33 in sight?" That would have given the helicopter a more precise picture of what was going on. In aviation, we call that situational awareness. It's nice when everyone knows what everyone else is doing. I've flown out of DCA for many years, and lately the controllers are not what they used to be. It really hasn't gotten busier. We can only land so many planes an hour.
Transponder turned off flying through a busy airport. So many layers of stupid it's suffocating.
Black Hawk with Gold Top collides with Airliner. I really can't watch videos stating that the airliner collides with helicopter, it just isn't true.
Like most things in USA
I remember the Air Florida plane hitting the Memorial Bridge and the frozen river rescues. This one looks like helicopter error to me.
And there was one years ago in which Howard Stern, then at WWDC, pretended to call the airline on the air and asked "What's the price of a one way ticket from National to the 14th Street Bridge? Is that going to be a regular stop?"
Me too. That was southbound I believe, this looks to be northbound, so collision is further south on the Potomac.
@@KealeyMissMultiFairy I thankfully forgot.
the third party you dont see is AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL think about those words now, what do you suppose their job is?

Looks like the helicopter collided with the jet not the other way around.

Helo hit the jet, jet was where it was supposed to be. Helo messed up. They were told to fly behind jet, messed up, hit jet from behind.😮
The helicopter flew into the plane.
100% intentional. A Blackhawk could EASILY avoid a passenger airplane with that large amount of time.
Get ready for the BS cover story…
That pilot should be court martial if he survived.
Heli didn't fly straight into the plane, they came at an intersection mid air. Airplane is coming towards the camera. Still should've seen the plane to the left of them, unless they were flying slightly lower and didn't see the airplane, also while it was descending to land. No radar? c'mon. It's a stupid and unfortunate incident nonetheless.
EDIT: also a black hawk flies around 175mph. passenger planes are 500mph+
Don t think anybody has survived it.

No active transponder? Hard to believe that the much smaller light in the CCTV feed is the airliner and the super bright light is the helicopter with that just may be the angles.

Some of the busiest airspace in the world. I've seen it from a park there. That Blackhawk violated it without a transponder turned on. The rules of aviation are written in blood.
special opperation
I wouldn't be surprised if its deliberate since the helicopter collided with the plane not the other way around.
I was reffing a soccer game in South Houston Tuesday night, and it was dark out. A helicopter was flying overhead twice near us and had no lights showing (it was blacked out). The shape and size of it made me assume it was military practicing stealth training or night vision, etc. But then I thought that's pretty dangerous considering no one can see you
Im sry but that it looked sus..heli pilot had all kinds of time. Idc how dark it was. Wasn't that dark that he couldn't see anything.
Night vision goggles in use by the helicopter crew, narrowing the vision enough to not see the other plane at their 8 o'clock?
Is this really an accident?
This probably wouldn't have happened if the helicopter had used ADS-B
Aviation accidents have being really occuring these days😢
Jesus is coming back...Give your life to christ..he gives Eternal life
Nothing that happens in America involing the military, happens out of accident.
Helicopter collided with jet which was exactly where it was supposed to be, why is the media switching it around?
Was the Blackhawk being flown autonomously?
No way in that area!
Well, if so, the collision was really a target.
Hm, so a US military aircraft wasn't using a transponder, while operating in the airspace of a civilian airport, and collided with a civilian airliner. I wonder how the US government, as a whole, is going to try to blame somebody other than themselves for this...

Who was on that plane is my question?
I see so many people acting like the plane was sittimg still mid air and that the hellicopter just rammed them mid air. both were moving in a linear direction, from the video it just looks like the helicopter was moving towards the plane but in reality they were both moving towards eachother. Its a tragedy not a conspiracy, likely based on human error and potentially mechanical failure. I just wonder what had the helicopter there in the first place.
Why would they train at night at an airport?? Something is seriously wrong here!!
No, the black Hawk crashed into it, it was clearly visible, the black hawks came straight for it as if it was targeted, I am sure it was an accident, but the military pilot behavior suggest he was drunk or drugged.
Or lower standards
I've already said this that the footage is giving 9/11 vibes where it looks quite intentional. Not sure if in all they years of that flight path if it's normal for military to be on that path as well and so close to the landing strip. What was the mission? Did it have anything to do with the airport?
They fly there all the time, but usually lower
You said it best when you said "not sure" That's the crux of your argument and knowledge of this, just like me and all the other commenters.
Reading all the “no VIPs” on the helicopter or in the crash in DC and seeing it on the media just breaks my heart.
EVERYONE who lost their life in the American Airlines plane and on the Blackhawk was SOMEBODY’S Very Important Person.
Wording is powerful. Every report keeps saying that the plane collided with the helicopter. The helicopter was on a beeline towards the plane not even trying to avoid the plane. The military helicopter or drone, which i think is what hit the plane on purpose had a mission. A helicopter can stop and hover. This is very Sus.
Lmfao no concept of depth perception or speed difference from the video, everyone assuming this has peanuts for brains
@@iampfaff True, The video is meaningless because of the distance and angle. He is also incorrect that a helicopter can just stop mid air. They can not, the pilot must maneuver around the obstacle or problem. Which means human reaction times which can be extremely problematic in true emergenices.

You’re correct.
helicopter pilot is WHO : terrorist ? idiot? or else? You can see the helicopter flying into the plane.
This makes me wonder! Doesn't America have good air traffic controllers ?
Trump fired them all lmao. He sacked the aviation safety advisory committee
Sure they do but they also have bad ones.
This was not the controllers. They clearly asked the helicopter pilot if was seeing the airplane.
Ah, I see-sounds like you’re placing the blame squarely on the air traffic controllers. It’s always easy to assume that they dropped the ball without knowing the full story, right? I’m sure we can just skip over the need for investigations and jump straight to conclusions.
But just for the record, U.S. air traffic controllers are highly trained professionals who work in one of the busiest and most complex airspaces in the world. They undergo rigorous training, with hundreds of hours in simulators and real-life scenarios before even handling live traffic. In fact, the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) is known for its strict standards and comprehensive training programs. The U.S. ATC system also includes NextGen, a state-of-the-art technology designed to improve safety and efficiency. So, to say that the U.S. doesn’t have good air traffic controllers is a pretty uninformed statement. Let’s wait for the investigation to provide the real facts, shall we?
Commercial airport is not for militery training.
Looking at the video, the helicopter is flying faster than the airplane. This does not make any sense!
That’s because the aircraft is moving towards you
What a horrible crash. R.I.P. to all passengers and helicopter crews who lost their lives. 😢🙏
Seems like he needed a bit MORE training…
& better trainer!
Don't assume gender
Guys..the helicopter hit the plane..you’ve got it backwards..
We have ammended the title of the video.
@@SimpleFlyingNewsthank you
Maybe important people were onboard and this helicopter deliberately collided with the aircraft
Maybe not.
No word on who was on the helicopter ...
who were on board that flight?that might answer some questions.i was deliberate,as shown on the video..
I know for a fact Zapp Brannigan told the helicopter crew they were a sacrifice he was willing to make. Helicopter crew knew the mission.
(Sarcastic comment for anyone with enough lunacy to even think it)
are we certain that was a black hawk and not something else?
Could this be an attack disguised as an accident??
Actually, the helo crashed into the plane. sorry, wrong info stated in your video and your blurb above.
Very obvious early warning systems were not operational.
So sad.
Caution student driver! What in the heck is that chopper doing there in the first place, they should be training out in the middle of the desert. If military can waste $100k each on toilet seats designs, they should compensate injured and dead families in that plane 100 million each,
ATC FAULTS
The footage looks like the heli was on a get away mission. Like it was escaping something and the pilot lost his/her concentration.
Stop smoking crack
Amazing, you came to that conclusion from 3 seconds of a light in the sky??
Drugs
you watch too much netflix
@@wojomojo yeah
This is what happens when ur commander in chief eats crayons
what they want to hide with weird narrative?
The amount of comments by conspiracy theorist with clearly 0 flying experience is insane, its a tragic accident possibly due to a loss of situational awareness by the pilot of the heli and the ATC, the helicopter training at night isnt weird, it wanst in restrictes airspace it was cleared to be in there by ATC, please stop spreading misinformation and wait for the NTSB report.
