    The helicopter collided with the airliner...NOT the other way around.

      The helo didn't collide into itself, it collided WITH the CRJ -- it takes two to tango! It looks like the pilot of the helo was the proximate cause, but the real issue is the system permitted this to happen -- it was an accident waiting happen and almost guaranteed to happen sooner or later that it would!

    The Helicopter flew above 200 feet! They are restricted from flying above 200 feet in the area they were in. Radar shows the helicopter reached as high as 350 feet. They knew the rules. The only question is why did they not adhere?

      Same reason there's a 250 knot speed limit under 10,0000 feet that routinely gets ignored/busted. Same reason you do 70 in a 55 zone in your car. We all break rules, and pilots do too...even military pilots. What needs to be looked at closely is the safely culture of that unit and how often rules are bent and broken to complete the training/mission.
      From an aviation safety standpoint, the heli passing 0-100 feet below the jet is still a major "near miss" incident that will make the news. 500 feet is the standard for vertical separation in air traffic control. Anything less its going to be in a report somewhere.
      Bottom line: the two aircraft should have never been occupying that small patch of sky at the same time.

    The helecopter was flying 200' too high, which put them right in the middle of the airport landing corridor. They were not supposed to be higher than 200' passing thru that area. They were at 400 feet.

    Night vision googles or not. If there are rules for helicopter not to fly above 200 ft on that route, they should stick to it.

      They are ordered to fly at the same altitude and between civilian aircraft. So, if the Russians or Chinese are firing missiles, they hit the civilian planes and not the helicopters evacuating the government and pentagon officials. How do you like your democracy now 🤣🤣🤣. These stupid crazy missions should never take place.

    4 airliners were inline on final, the helo pilot and the controller were looking at two different aircraft due to the proximity. You can understand this listing to the audio. The mishap report and investigation will determine how to fix this in the future.

  • @sh0t0kan
    @sh0t0kan 6 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา +13

    Goggles no goggles. The helicopter pilot was operating the Blackhawk at an unauthorized altitude . The crash was caused by them.
    The military must abide by FAA regulations while operating their aircraft in civilian airspace. Obviously there was a set altitude helicopters must maintain or not defy in this area but the Blackhawk pilot disregarded it.

    • @TheWorldsprayer

      all accidents in aviation fall under the "swiss cheese model" and what it basically shows is all accidents have multiple layers where specific circumstances have to align to allow the "holes" to "line up" and allow an accident through.
      Simply put there is almost never a singular source of failure.

    • @SeventhAnubis071
      @SeventhAnubis071 2 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา

      Hold on to your hat here. The Blackhawk crew is actually ordered to fly between the civilian aircraft and the same altitude. So, if we are attacked by the Russians or Chinese, the missiles hit the civilian planes and not the helicopters carrying the Pentagon brass or government officials being evacuated. Think about that next time you vote.

    The light clutter and the near reciprocal headings result in very little relative motion so that the lights disappear into the light clutter. Both crews almost certainly 'saw' each other but neither crew 'identified' each other. The use of night vision is the insane cherry on top. This isn't an accident, it's criminal! I don't mean criminal on the part of the crews, I mean the people that approved this!
    The permitted height of the Black Hawk on Route 4 is 200 feet. At the point of impact the CRJ, on path to the runway was at about 370 feet. The CRJ is 24.5 feet tall and the helo is 16.5 feet tall meaning that even if both crews were where they were supposed to be the separation was actually permitted, PERMITTED to be 129 feet. What is the expected deviation of height for each AC, it isn't zero as nothing is perfect and neither are the pilots, if we put that at, say, 50 feet then the procedure allows them to be not 129 feet apart but 29 feet. INSANITY!

    yes, 100 ft on your altimeter is very very noticeable. It only takes a second or two for it to happen on accident, but, a commercial rated pilot is required to be able to hold altitude within 50 ft at all times, and you should be able to hold closer than that if you are experienced and talented, even hand flying. There is NO excuse to break a max altitude by 200 feet on a VFR corridor under a final approach path next to a major airport, while you KNOW there is an aircraft on short final.

      Maybe helicopter was hacked giving false information or something. There was also Navy plane recently shot down by its own ship potentially. Our commander-in-chief is selling Trump NFTs that are fungible... so they don't understand basics. If they have fungible NFTs they will have many other fungible components in their cybersecurity that they think are stable/reliable, but that aren't. All the tech oligarchs in DC, maybe they are testing if they control the helicopters or not.

There weren't shortage of air traffic communication - helicopter was told of approaching planes - asked if they had them in sight - helicopter said yes - and obviously was looking beyond immediately in front of view to other approaching planes - - THEY WERE IN THE WAY OF THE LANDING APPROACHING PLANE AND DID NOT SEE IT - - Horrible Tragic Result From Copter Error - Air Traffic was Guiding SEVERAL Planes All In A Row In Their Approaches - - That Copter Should Not Have Been In the Midst Of That and They Did Not See The Plane Coming - - They Were On Visual Responsibility and Failed - - Not RADAR / Air Traffic Responsibility at time of collision. So So Sad.
