My dad worked for the FAA for over 30 years prior to his death, there were lots of cuts, issues with people being overworked etc, its only gotten worse. Its a job that requires SO much attention, and with the cut backs people are getting overworked. This was preventable and I am so devastated for everyone involved.
Female pilot here: my suspicion is that 3 things were at play. 1. The altimeter (a device to allow for barametric pressure) on the helicoptor was either not set correctly or was defective. An incorrect setting gives a false reading on altitude. 2. The helicopter pilots were wearing night vision goggles in a brightly-lit area. The pilots thought they had the AA aircraft in sight. But, they most likely saw the plane behind the AA flight. 3. The ATC should have directed the helicopter pilots to hold their position instead of asking them if they had the AA plane in sight. But, the pilots responded that they had the aircraft in sight. So, ATC took them at their word, since the pilots took responsibility by responding, "traffic in sight." The air traffic controller was also overworked since the other one went home early. Grear reading! I got the same result in my reading as well.
Apparently there should have been two people working ATC but something like one was allowed to leave early, I can’t remember exactly. So that could have been a case of being over confident thinking you can do the job of two people 😢
Wasn't the helicopter also not in the proper airspace? Like helicopters are never allowed above 200m and they were at 400m? Pretty sure I read that somewhere along the way and haven't really gotten a clear explanation as to why that may have been.
I could see this. I don’t have any aviation experience and when I heard about the ATC asking that question, it sounded like a useless thing to ask. Like asking someone “hey, do you see that lion running towards you?” Instead of immediately giving them directions to stay out of harm’s way.

@@Estheticianturnednurse sure but personally to me Human error aligns more with Free will in my opinion. not really spiritual warfare which I personally would see to be a lot more darker & karma base versus random human beings making questionable mistakes that effects not just themselves but others around them. Basically a action that causes a reaction.
The fact that the plane was carrying CHILDREN is crazy. it was kids and their parents travelling back home from an ice skating training. It's so sad. They were so young and persuing their dreams. They were our future American Ice skaters! We would have been seeing them in the Olympics years later if they were alive. It's just so messed up and sad 😢
Yes. As far as I have been able to put together, there were 9 (probably 10) youth skaters, ages 11 to 16, who had been chosen for the training camp based on their outstanding talent and promise; 4 coaches; and 8 parents, including two sets of married couples. More than 1/3 of the passenger list. Tragic. But, of course, equally tragically, there were other children, other families and other people on the plane, as well. : (
@@kp4911 I meant that it's crazy that children had to die. Out of all the planes flying it had to he a plane with majority kids in it that had to crash.
It’s really odd to me that people dragged Ant for his reading on Ethan Slater’s ex wife bc they were concerned about her feelings…and then they spam him for a reading about 67 ppl who JUST passed away. True crime addicts really do have brain rot
Quietly listening.... thank you, ANT. May all the 67 souls rest in peace. God be with the families, and may they find strength and comfort during this difficult time.
Another tarot reader said something really similar. She said that the person flying the helicopter was overestimating their skills, and the air traffic control were also overeating their skills as well. And then some technical difficulties in the air traffic control room.
@@pmg-1 Why would they let a pilot without many experience fly out at night?? That person should have some restrictions and be properly trained. That's not right
On point, Ant. There should have been 1 air traffic controller tracking planes and 1 air traffic controller tracking helicopters. At the time of the crash, there was only ONE air traffic controller tracking both planes and helicopters together. If I'm not mistaken, the FAA had also cut staff recently. So, you're also on point about air traffic controllers being overwhelmed and not getting the assignment they need.
Tower controllers deal with all traffic, it doesn't matter if they are helicopters or planes. DC has a visual approach procedure, instead of instrumental (which is becoming the norm in most airports and deemed the safest). It is a matter of procedures not working when visibility is low, like at night. I have heard colleagues in the field say, the helicopter had the plane in sight, but it was the one behind.
@@tinaaguilar2120 ~ Sadly, this precedes Trump. The tragic reality is things like this were going to occur regardless of who had been elected. Federal Aviation Administration officials have been aware of the staffing issues for years. The FAA hasn't been meeting its hiring goals for a very long time. There's roughly a 50% washout rate for air traffic controllers. They flunk out at the academy or flunk out in the field. Capitol Hill, as well as airline executives, have sounded the alarm in recent years about recruitment efforts falling short. The agency has a massive personnel deficit and is about 3000 controllers short.
6:30 I have heard on the news air traffic control had 2? People and went down to 1 person managing multiple flights/giving communication. When it is a job done by two people to level the work load. Source: bbc news article 9:22 Duffy said the US has a chronic understaffing problem in air traffic control. US media has reported that more than 90% of air traffic control facilities in the country are operating below FAA recommended staffing levels. "We haven't had enough air traffic controllers in America for a very long time," Duffy said, adding "they are stressed out. They're tapped out. They're overworked. That's no excuse. It's just a reality of what we have in the system." 6:008:30 Weather issue / breaking protocal Duffy also questioned the timing of its flight. "Why would they fly a mission at nine o'clock at night through really busy air space... as opposed to flying that mission at one o'clock in the morning, when there's very little traffic"? he asked. "I want our military to be trained up and ready to go, but I also want air travellers to be safe as well, and there's a time and a place to do it, not at nine o'clock at night when there's heavy traffic
Most companies have that. One person does a two-three person job. I don't necessarily think it's understaffing as much as cost-cutting (in this case though it's probably both). Two people doing that is expensive. Kinda goes with what he's saying at 7:19. I don't know if Regan airport workers are unionised, but either way in the modern work world that is VERY common. It makes no sense, because so many people are out of work.
@@vigglarodzit’s one thing to make a person work enough for 3 people in a corporate or office setting, and it’s another to expect an air traffic controller to do the same. It’s an incredibly important job and errors cannot be made without disastrous results. It is irresponsible and dangerous to understaff in this case
@@vigglarodz That is pretty much the result of understaffing. And just because corporations do it, does not make it right. A single person should not being doing the work of 2-3 people unless they are being paid 2-3x the salary and even then, in cases like this, its extremely dangerous. People can literally die in the areas of transportation when it comes to understaffing and cost-cutting initiatives. Do you really want one air traffic controller to be handling 5-10 flights at the same time? That is just asking for a major tragedy to happen.
I can feel your compassion and gentleness coming through, its so strong, comforting and inspiring. Thank you for being a little beacon of love and light during this time. X
My grandpa is a former ATC and worked through the strike in the 80s and that’s exactly what he said, there’s a huge incompetence in the way ATCs get through training and that it used to be a lot harder to get in.
I dreamed about this plane crash the exact same way it happened.. a day before it happened.. and in my dream, it was 100% intentional. They were actually targeting me in the dream..now of course it wasn’t about me but it was about a target. I’m glad I told people about the dream before it happened so that they wouldn’t think I was lying.
The helicopter pilot was looking at a different plane and the ATC didn't specify or correct with the helicopter which plane they were each talking about.
Correct! The current administration fired the head of TSA and the air control, also implemented a hiring freeze for air traffic controllers even after there have been several complaints on being under staffed/ over worked etc
Your reading makes sense. My husband was in miltary for many years, according to him, the helicopter was not able to maneuver away once it realized it is too close becaue the plan sucked the helicopter in. Traffic controler never asked which plane they are seeing. Your reading matches with his theory what might have happen.
The air traffic controller was doing the job of two. It’s already a high stress job. (Which is why there’s an age limit to get in and get out.) Supposedly, air traffic asked if the helicopter had eyes on the plane. But it was a different plane…
EM owes a $600,000 fine to the Federal Aviation Administration .When DT returned to office he fired the head of the FAA. I think you're right with the defunding since I believe other employees were let go and they were short staffed on the day of the crash happened.
Its really nice to see the comment section filled with thoughtful and genuine responses. Nothing aggressive/blaming/pointing fingers. I've also learned a lot from ppl sharing their own experiences in the field. Overall, very devastating and seems like this tragedy could have been 100% preventable.
It’s been said that the aircraft control tower was very understaffed. It was also said that the copter was at higher altitude than it should have been and slightly off their course. I think it was human and mechanical error, and my heart aches for the families who have lost loved ones. Its tragic.
Spot on Ant. ATC was short staffed. The controller whom would direct the helicopters had to leave. So the ATC who directed the planes, was doing both positions.
Air traffic controller asked the helicopter "do you see the plane?" Without specifying which one. The helicopter answered yes, but they think he was referring to the other plane in the sky. You can see it in video. Also, supervisor let another controller go home early.
To be honest, I am kind of mad about this accident. This feels like a lesson we have already learned several time, but yet it keeps happening. Granted, most other incidents like this were outside of the U.S, but this should have never happened. We as humans need to do a better job at slowing down and taking precautions.
I'm just very angry about this. People constantly keep saying this is the safest way to travel, but then we have vital, lifesaving positions that are terribly understaffed, employees litterally being underpaid and overworked to the point of pilots and flight attendants facing illness and homelessness in some cases. We have civilians who got shafted, injured, or killed not being able to get any kind of justice, the military doing what they always do, and people are still over here being like, Oh. It was just an act of God. Nothing to see here. Move along. In my opinion, this was a case of extreme carelessness and neglegence. I'm not saying anyone was murdered or anything, but people are too careless with other people's lives and I'm so tired of this. At the very least, this industry is exploitative in a bad way, and I don't know if I can continue supporting it unless things change. It's sad because I love to fly. I want to see everyone associated with the industry in a better position, but these accidents just keep occuring. This time, civilians died and they had nothing to do with what was going on internally at a governmental level or in the airline itself. Nothing can give them any kind of justice at this point. People are blaming trump, but all of this goes back decades. Trump is just a little man. I fear people will hyperfocus on him and nothing will be done to prevent this from happening as much in the future.
Psychic Sloan Bella is saying freemason terrorism. She is so extreme these days😢 Thank you for your always honest NOT BIASED reading we appreciate you Ant❤
I can't listen to Sloan most times cause everytime she is doing a reading aboit literally anything or anyone she always brings up conspiracy theories. Not even situation is going to have some cult conspiracy
Agreed! I had to take a break from her. Goes to show we cannot just blindly follow someone and believe everything they say. I liked her in the beginning.
She's been off for a minute. It always turns into some insane conspiracy. Everyone has a handler, everyone is in a secret society, everyone is siphoning energy and every camera mishap is a demon interrupting her message.
I knew an air traffic controller and this job is unbelievably stressful and you have to be on your A game ALWAYS. HE died early and had high blood pressure early in life contributed by his job.
Thanks Ant! I'm going with the blackhawk pilot being cocky. I have seen 2 videos on YT where the path of the Blackhawk was followed from when it took off. The Blackhawk Pilot made 2 near misses with other jetliners, on the 2nd near miss it did a erratic route before hitting the smaller jet. So, so very sad. RIP to all those who lost their lives in such a tremendously horrific way.
Thanks for the video Ant 💗 As someone who reads veteran mental health claims all day for work, the amount of veterans that have experienced/witnessed military aircraft crashes is a bulk of what I read. It's been upsetting to see people jump to conspiracy theories. Looking at the statistics of crashes/accidents, there's almost 3 to 4 accidents a month! This one just happened to be more public where many people witnessed it, but most of these accidents happen in the ocean/over bases where they practice & never make the news like this. I completely agree with what you picked up, the military does have an issue with some of the soldiers being overly confident in their abilities & that's probably what happened here. Never underestimate ego & mediocrity.
These readings are spot on. Ant certainly gives you a whole lot of sympathy in tragic situations like this. Hearts go out to the families. This is a horrifying ordeal to go through.
This is very off topic…but has anyone noticed the sound on Ant’s videos is extremely quiet lately? I’ve watched through my tv and on my iphone with airpods, and both ways i have turn the volume all the way up to hear him 😶.
How something that was cut last week can have an effect on the situation the next week? Just looking to put a blame on the new administration and take the spotlight off 4 years of fu€kery.
Research a little harder: In 2013, during Obama's administration, there was a $600 million budget cut done to FAA (it's on their website .gov and whitehouse.gov). In 2024, Biden's administration didn't include a budget increase for FAA. Trump didn't have anything to do with the budget, but he is looking into their hiring practice. Both parties are to blame for this mess. No one's hands are clean.
Does anyone else feel like the amount of plane crashes lately has skyrocketed? Almost like they’re trying to make us fear leaving where we are…? Like I don’t wanna get on a plane anytime soon .. I’ve heard of 5 in the past 3 months… that’s insane.
In a news cycle, it’s common for editors to post other crashes after a major crash. So to the untrained eye, it appears that the skies are unsafe. Hope this alleviates your fear.
People thought the same thing when Boeing was having trouble with their planes and it seemed like every week there was something going wrong with a plane. I think you need to calm down. The media loves to fear monger. the brain has negative bias, which is why people watch the news for negative news stories. It's about survival. The media knows this and capitalizes on it. Why do you think they pushed so hard with negativity during Covid for a disease that had a 99+% survival rate.
@@cynbadlonewolf9455 this might be a surprise to you.. but there are other things outside of the USA going on. 😂 I’m not just talking about the USA or commercial planes. -2024: Dec 17, Dec 22 x 2 crashes, Dec 23, Dec 25, Dec 29. -2025: Jan 2, Jan 29 x2 crashes, Jan 30.. Incase you can’t count, that’s 10 crashes within a month an a bit..and I probably don’t even have the full list there.. is that not insane to you, “bro”? 😂 To me, that seems like a skyrocket.. going from hearing about 1-3 crashes in a 12 month period, to now hearing about 10 crashes within less than 1.5 months, just from my perspective, that’s a lot. When was the last time you can remember hearing about 10 planes crashing in such a short period of time..? Also, next time you try to act like a sassy-a$s, maybe check your spelling to avoid looking like a complete numb-nut .. 😁🤣 you started off trying to chirp me by imitating a caveman.. and you’re telling ME to get it together? BRUHHH 😂😂😂
As a lay person, it appears the incident was a tragic accident. Perhaps the DCS is reaching a tipping point because of the increased traffic in an already congested area. I do not think there was a conspiracy at all. For me, if there is any fault then it is with the helicopter pilot. I have listened to many of the flight recordings, and the helicopter pilot did confirm he had “visual separation.” Which means that pilot assumed separation responsibility flat out. The helicopter was also above the 200 feet ceiling as it travelled along that narrow corridor. Human error. With that being said, the ATC should have confirmed with the helicopter pilot that he had visual separation with the immediate danger which was the 330 plane. We can all learn from this to keep people safe. Enough with the stupid mud slinging. Fix the problem first before fixing the blame….
Just stop. this is so ludicrous it's embarrassing. Whenever a new president comes in, all old political positions are replaced by a new person by the incoming president. It happens every single time. To say a grown adult in a position of power quit because they are being bullied is just stupid. Fact check. If you're going to make such outlandish statements, cite your sources.
When you said someone overestimating their skill level, that immediately matched with what a seasoned pilot said about this.He said all the pilot of the heli had to do was ask for "visual separation" to be able to do the route they wanted. He said with the heli pilot only having 500 hours of experience, they weren't experienced enough to have visual separation at night and flying around an airport! The heli pilot overestimated their skill level, and asked for visual separation. Should never had asked or been granted visual separation. BUT, how would the person granting it KNOW how many flight hours the heli pilot had? He wouldn't know that. Thank you, Ant, for this read!!
Based on the trajectory of the plane it’s most likely a mechanical issue. Unfortunately maintenance on planes has gone down over the years to cut costs.
The last pilot that was named was not qualified to be flying or practicing for these missions. She only had roughly 450 hours flying time. All of her social media was scrubbed before her name was released.
Also the military shouldn't have been training in that area at night with a pilot with less than 500 hours. They also shouldn't have been wearing night vision in an area that was that lit up, causing a lot of distorsion.
ANT!! Thank you for this, my husband is a Navy helo pilot and what you said lines up with his assessment of the situation. I've heard a few readers reinforcing conspiracy theories but I don't believe anything unless I hear it from you. So tragic 😔
Thank you for the reading, Ant. 💗Your level-headedness and respectful way you approach these topics are much-needed in today's climate. Rest in peace to the passengers; my thoughts are with their family and friends. I can't imagine the grief they're going through right now.
A crash in DC and then a few days later another crash in PA. The country's capital and the state in which the country was founded. This feels like a very bad omen, but I pray that I'm wrong 🙏
Ohhh I can imagine. I used to have to fly for work a lot, as I worked for a huge corporation, & have been thinking how grateful I am I don’t have to board a plane every other week. Good luck to you. 🙏🏻🫶🏻❤
I never thought this crash was anything other than an accident. I don't understand how the FAA can justify not having enough ATCs. That job is vital to the safety of air travel!
So he is right. Hiring practices, lack of training, overwhelmed, understaffed. They were getting huge funding and still didn’t hire. One person doing a two man job
@@harperjean9812they have been turning down perfectly experienced ATC workers because they are white. I’m not lying, I’m not even American, I saw lawsuits about this a while ago. There’s been about a thousand near misses in the past year/couple of years. In this same area two military women crashed their helicopter straight into a cliff/mountain. It’s been getting out of control. There were two ATC working that day and one was allowed to leave early or something along those lines, so you’d have to feel quite confident to think you can do the job of too people.
@@harperjean9812 Its also being mentioned inadequate training as well. And DEI had reached air traffic control as well so I can imagine some people being overconfident due to having to fake it a little.
But they weren't hiring qualified people because of DEI. They tried to keep their quota of certain types of people instead of most qualified @@harperjean9812
@@harperjean9812 The problem was that this airport needs 30 ATCs to properly man the airport and they had 19. In the past, they had a special agreement with a college to hire their trained personnel after their education was completed, but Obama but a stop to it because most of the people coming out of the program were not the right "color." He stopped the agreement between the airport and the college program and the airport has been understaffed ever since. It got worse when DEI hiring became a thing.
The communication with air traffic controller has been released and the controller asked the helicopter twice to confirm sight of plane and adjust course. They believe the helicopter was confirming sight for a different plane that was further out. Just a honest human error. Sad but it happens.
Two things some pilots have been saying. If they wore night vision goggles, they may not be able to differentiate between skyline lights and plane lights. The Blackhawk WAS confirmed by CNN as flying too high (they were supposed to be at 200 ft and they were at 325ft. Plane was at 300ft). The big thing: a lot of pilots are saying if you see a plane and it doesn’t look like it’s moving, you are on a collision course. They also said they had one guy at ATC doing the job of 2 people. Blackhawk kept saying they would maintain visual distance, so…
The female Pilot of the Helicopter only had 500 hrs flight time. When the helicopter radioed that they had the plane in sight, she did not have it in sight. Remember how loud the interior of helicopter is even with head set. The ATC believed that she was at proper altitude and she wasn’t. Fault on both helicopter pilot and AtC. Just my thoughts. That area is way too busy as well.
Gonna watch this later today when I have time but can you do one to see if Elon is controlling Trump or their energy between the two because it’s crazy. Maybe you have done something similar before but I’m not sure.
It never felt like an inside job to me but I so appreciate you doing a reading regardless!! Incredibly devastating and never should have happened to those poor people :(
I think many because of things like true crime think anything tragic must have a conspiracy element. At the end of the day it sounds like just understaffed at a job that needs full staff.
Part of me thinks it's because of with what happened with the virus being said by the white house that it was man made, aliens, and Diddy working with politicians is making people on the edge. I do believe in some conspiracy theories. I'd be a liar if I said no. However, sometimes tragic events do naturally happen. Its a double edge sword on this. I'm glad that humans are thinking more but sometimes we don't need to think in seeing how events do unfortunately happen.
one night i was scrolling through my phone, feeling like i’d never figure out why some people just seem so magnetic. then i came across this book, Magnetic Aura by Takeshi Mizuki, and something about it caught my attention. reading it was like turning on a light in a dark room. it’s not about pretending to be someone you’re not; it’s about unlocking the energy you already have. trust me, this book is worth every page
Yeah the communication was not clear. He should've said do you see the plane TO YOUR LEFT. Just said do you see the plane but was seeing another that was in front of him.
Wow, Ant, you got this so on point, and because you don't watch the news or know what's going on with the specifics, I had a double wow response. So yes, they were short handed, AND Michael Whitaker, a 30-year aviation industry veteran, resigned 10 days ago, after Elon Musk, the SpaceX CEO and close adviser to Donald Trump, called for him to quit. When he took over & crash happened, there was no acting FAA administrator!
Whew I was saying hoping someone will do a reading on this tragedy. Its heart breaking but we need answers closure for our lost ones. Thanks for doing this. I did not watch video yet just wanted to say thanks you're 1st one doing a reading on it. Soo sensitive and hard. God bless their souls.
Why is the volume so low? If the volume has to be cranked to full to be heard then the ad's play dangerously loud, I'm not blowing an eardrum to watch a video.
can you do a reading on the justin and blake case? like who’s most likely to win the case if it even gets to that point. kinda like the reading you did with amber and johnnys court case predicting who would win
There has been six suicides in November and December of last year with air traffic controllers. They are extremely overworked. They’re only allowed to work two hours straight and then they need a break and then they can go back to work but only for two hours maximum at a time because of the high intensity of the job. I know that air traffic controller that was responsible for that route, is feeling the weight of the situation and the guilt, even though the helicopter pilot said that they’re asking for a visual separation, which means the air traffic controller is no longer responsible and that the helicopter pilots are taking responsibility for getting in line behind the plane to land, 30 seconds later they ran into the plane. That whole area is very constricted and you don’t have a lot of space to fly because of the White House. You’re not allowed to fly over the White House as a commercial plane. You have to follow the river in order to land, and the helicopters are only allowed to fly over the White House if they’re picking up somebody so they’re already given a very limited space but yeah I agree. I think there was some laziness and arrogance in the helicopter pilots and the air traffic controllers.
Federal jobs and DEI is happening to the people working in federal jobs… this is crazy that it’s gotten to desperation to get jobs done! I was expecting a “someone knew something so they were tryna get rid of them kinda thing!” So sad for the families lost in that crash not only that one but the one in DC as well
Overestimating their ability - in the recording of the communication, the helicopter pilot said to the control tower that they 'see the incoming plane and that they're ready to move', but it is said that they're probably looking at the plane behind them, not the one incoming up front. The control asked them twice I think if they see the plane and the helicopter pilot confirmed that they did.
Thank you Ant for another great reading. May all those lost in all these crashes of late rest in peace. I hope you are right and that our transportation infrastructure becomes safer, sooner than later✌️🫶🙌
This is what I thought. Miscommunication or distractions were my answers because of lack of employees & too many aircrafts is what I grounded my thoughts on. Also, who were in the aircrafts. Poor souls. May they rest. Due to the negligence, they were failed. I won't say lazy, but humans got to conformable with working with less. This happens a lot with cheap companies and gov pushing too much on emphasis on less is more but they forget everything matters in order to be called a professional in your career fields
My dad worked for the FAA for over 30 years prior to his death, there were lots of cuts, issues with people being overworked etc, its only gotten worse. Its a job that requires SO much attention, and with the cut backs people are getting overworked. This was preventable and I am so devastated for everyone involved.
Rest in peace to all of the souls lost. This was preventable. 😞😥
Female pilot here: my suspicion is that 3 things were at play.
1. The altimeter (a device to allow for barametric pressure) on the helicoptor was either not set correctly or was defective. An incorrect setting gives a false reading on altitude.
2. The helicopter pilots were wearing night vision goggles in a brightly-lit area. The pilots thought they had the AA aircraft in sight. But, they most likely saw the plane behind the AA flight.
3. The ATC should have directed the helicopter pilots to hold their position instead of asking them if they had the AA plane in sight. But, the pilots responded that they had the aircraft in sight. So, ATC took them at their word, since the pilots took responsibility by responding, "traffic in sight." The air traffic controller was also overworked since the other one went home early.
Grear reading! I got the same result in my reading as well.
exactly
Apparently there should have been two people working ATC but something like one was allowed to leave early, I can’t remember exactly. So that could have been a case of being over confident thinking you can do the job of two people 😢
Wasn't the helicopter also not in the proper airspace? Like helicopters are never allowed above 200m and they were at 400m? Pretty sure I read that somewhere along the way and haven't really gotten a clear explanation as to why that may have been.
I could see this. I don’t have any aviation experience and when I heard about the ATC asking that question, it sounded like a useless thing to ask. Like asking someone “hey, do you see that lion running towards you?” Instead of immediately giving them directions to stay out of harm’s way.

But also it’s a fact that the previous head of the FAA was really strict with the protocoles. He resigned the day of the inauguration because Elon was threatening him to sue him. I wonder if after he left things got a bit more relaxed or there was a restructuring.
Human errors, piss poor leadership and poor use of resources.
I truly don’t think it’s a human error. Not in this day and age and the spiritual warfare going on
💯% human error and missed communication, unfortunately
@@Estheticianturnednurse sure but personally to me Human error aligns more with Free will in my opinion. not really spiritual warfare which I personally would see to be a lot more darker & karma base versus random human beings making questionable mistakes that effects not just themselves but others around them. Basically a action that causes a reaction.
The fact that the plane was carrying CHILDREN is crazy. it was kids and their parents travelling back home from an ice skating training. It's so sad. They were so young and persuing their dreams. They were our future American Ice skaters! We would have been seeing them in the Olympics years later if they were alive. It's just so messed up and sad 😢
Yes. As far as I have been able to put together, there were 9 (probably 10) youth skaters, ages 11 to 16, who had been chosen for the training camp based on their outstanding talent and promise; 4 coaches; and 8 parents, including two sets of married couples. More than 1/3 of the passenger list. Tragic.
But, of course, equally tragically, there were other children, other families and other people on the plane, as well. : (
Why are children on a plane "crazy?" Every time I've been on a plane, which is a lot, there have been children. It's not unusual.
@@kp4911 I meant that it's crazy that children had to die. Out of all the planes flying it had to he a plane with majority kids in it that had to crash.
It’s really odd to me that people dragged Ant for his reading on Ethan Slater’s ex wife bc they were concerned about her feelings…and then they spam him for a reading about 67 ppl who JUST passed away. True crime addicts really do have brain rot
💯
LOL right. just disgusting behavior..
You put to words what I've been feeling for a long
This!!!
how do u know its the same people? ....
Quietly listening.... thank you, ANT.
May all the 67 souls rest in peace. God be with the families, and may they find strength and comfort during this difficult time.
Another tarot reader said something really similar. She said that the person flying the helicopter was overestimating their skills, and the air traffic control were also overeating their skills as well. And then some technical difficulties in the air traffic control room.
Whats the Tarot reader's name?
@liyean6039 SunBurst Tarot
Well the news came out that the pilot was inexperienced (or not enough experience) with only 500hrs under their belt...
@@pmg-1 Why would they let a pilot without many experience fly out at night?? That person should have some restrictions and be properly trained. That's not right
@BeeHappyLitteBee Your guess is as good as mine 🤷🏾♀️
On point, Ant. There should have been 1 air traffic controller tracking planes and 1 air traffic controller tracking helicopters. At the time of the crash, there was only ONE air traffic controller tracking both planes and helicopters together. If I'm not mistaken, the FAA had also cut staff recently. So, you're also on point about air traffic controllers being overwhelmed and not getting the assignment they need.
Tower controllers deal with all traffic, it doesn't matter if they are helicopters or planes. DC has a visual approach procedure, instead of instrumental (which is becoming the norm in most airports and deemed the safest). It is a matter of procedures not working when visibility is low, like at night. I have heard colleagues in the field say, the helicopter had the plane in sight, but it was the one behind.
Put the blame on the cheeto who called for the firings. Chumpler did this. The FAA is overwhelmed for sure.
And that airport is scheduled to add more incoming and outgoing flights, according to the VP of the airport
@tinaaguilar2120 yes! Call it out!
@@tinaaguilar2120 ~ Sadly, this precedes Trump. The tragic reality is things like this were going to occur regardless of who had been elected. Federal Aviation Administration officials have been aware of the staffing issues for years. The FAA hasn't been meeting its hiring goals for a very long time. There's roughly a 50% washout rate for air traffic controllers. They flunk out at the academy or flunk out in the field. Capitol Hill, as well as airline executives, have sounded the alarm in recent years about recruitment efforts falling short. The agency has a massive personnel deficit and is about 3000 controllers short.
6:30 I have heard on the news air traffic control had 2? People and went down to 1 person managing multiple flights/giving communication. When it is a job done by two people to level the work load.
Source: bbc news article
9:22
Duffy said the US has a chronic understaffing problem in air traffic control.
US media has reported that more than 90% of air traffic control facilities in the country are operating below FAA recommended staffing levels.
"We haven't had enough air traffic controllers in America for a very long time," Duffy said, adding "they are stressed out. They're tapped out. They're overworked. That's no excuse. It's just a reality of what we have in the system."
6:00 8:30
Weather issue / breaking protocal
Duffy also questioned the timing of its flight.
"Why would they fly a mission at nine o'clock at night through really busy air space... as opposed to flying that mission at one o'clock in the morning, when there's very little traffic"? he asked.
"I want our military to be trained up and ready to go, but I also want air travellers to be safe as well, and there's a time and a place to do it, not at nine o'clock at night when there's heavy traffic
Most companies have that. One person does a two-three person job. I don't necessarily think it's understaffing as much as cost-cutting (in this case though it's probably both). Two people doing that is expensive. Kinda goes with what he's saying at 7:19. I don't know if Regan airport workers are unionised, but either way in the modern work world that is VERY common.
It makes no sense, because so many people are out of work.
@@vigglarodzit’s one thing to make a person work enough for 3 people in a corporate or office setting, and it’s another to expect an air traffic controller to do the same. It’s an incredibly important job and errors cannot be made without disastrous results. It is irresponsible and dangerous to understaff in this case
It's actually done quite often at all airports.
@@vigglarodz That is pretty much the result of understaffing. And just because corporations do it, does not make it right. A single person should not being doing the work of 2-3 people unless they are being paid 2-3x the salary and even then, in cases like this, its extremely dangerous. People can literally die in the areas of transportation when it comes to understaffing and cost-cutting initiatives. Do you really want one air traffic controller to be handling 5-10 flights at the same time? That is just asking for a major tragedy to happen.
There was another crash in Philly too
I had no idea there was a plane crash in Philly or DC. I know there was one in South Korea.
May they all rest in peace
Also Alaska.
I can feel your compassion and gentleness coming through, its so strong, comforting and inspiring. Thank you for being a little beacon of love and light during this time. X
My grandpa is a former ATC and worked through the strike in the 80s and that’s exactly what he said, there’s a huge incompetence in the way ATCs get through training and that it used to be a lot harder to get in.
bingo.
DEI
As someone who works in the aviation industry, you are spot on :(
Air traffic control has overestimated their skill set. They should NEVER have 2 people doing a 4 person job.
it was actually only 1 person manning both helicopters and planes so even worse !
ATC has been woefully understaffed, across the board, for quite awhile.
I dreamed about this plane crash the exact same way it happened.. a day before it happened.. and in my dream, it was 100% intentional. They were actually targeting me in the dream..now of course it wasn’t about me but it was about a target. I’m glad I told people about the dream before it happened so that they wouldn’t think I was lying.
Operator Error. The helicopter pilot was at the incorrect altitude, and repeatedly stated they had the jet in sight, when obviously they did not.
Yes. That’s probably why they waited on giving out her info
The helicopter pilot was looking at a different plane and the ATC didn't specify or correct with the helicopter which plane they were each talking about.
Correct! The current administration fired the head of TSA and the air control, also implemented a hiring freeze for air traffic controllers even after there have been several complaints on being under staffed/ over worked etc
Your reading makes sense. My husband was in miltary for many years, according to him, the helicopter was not able to maneuver away once it realized it is too close becaue the plan sucked the helicopter in. Traffic controler never asked which plane they are seeing. Your reading matches with his theory what might have happen.
The air traffic controller was doing the job of two. It’s already a high stress job. (Which is why there’s an age limit to get in and get out.) Supposedly, air traffic asked if the helicopter had eyes on the plane. But it was a different plane…
EM owes a $600,000 fine to the Federal Aviation Administration .When DT returned to office he fired the head of the FAA. I think you're right with the defunding since I believe other employees were let go and they were short staffed on the day of the crash happened.
Right on thats why he sacked q00's on the spot offi ialz etc. He is a dangerous man.
Its really nice to see the comment section filled with thoughtful and genuine responses. Nothing aggressive/blaming/pointing fingers. I've also learned a lot from ppl sharing their own experiences in the field. Overall, very devastating and seems like this tragedy could have been 100% preventable.
It’s been said that the aircraft control tower was very understaffed. It was also said that the copter was at higher altitude than it should have been and slightly off their course. I think it was human and mechanical error, and my heart aches for the families who have lost loved ones. Its tragic.
Spot on Ant. ATC was short staffed. The controller whom would direct the helicopters had to leave. So the ATC who directed the planes, was doing both positions.
Air traffic controller asked the helicopter "do you see the plane?" Without specifying which one. The helicopter answered yes, but they think he was referring to the other plane in the sky. You can see it in video. Also, supervisor let another controller go home early.
To be honest, I am kind of mad about this accident. This feels like a lesson we have already learned several time, but yet it keeps happening. Granted, most other incidents like this were outside of the U.S, but this should have never happened. We as humans need to do a better job at slowing down and taking precautions.
I'm just very angry about this. People constantly keep saying this is the safest way to travel, but then we have vital, lifesaving positions that are terribly understaffed, employees litterally being underpaid and overworked to the point of pilots and flight attendants facing illness and homelessness in some cases. We have civilians who got shafted, injured, or killed not being able to get any kind of justice, the military doing what they always do, and people are still over here being like, Oh. It was just an act of God. Nothing to see here. Move along. In my opinion, this was a case of extreme carelessness and neglegence. I'm not saying anyone was murdered or anything, but people are too careless with other people's lives and I'm so tired of this. At the very least, this industry is exploitative in a bad way, and I don't know if I can continue supporting it unless things change. It's sad because I love to fly. I want to see everyone associated with the industry in a better position, but these accidents just keep occuring. This time, civilians died and they had nothing to do with what was going on internally at a governmental level or in the airline itself. Nothing can give them any kind of justice at this point. People are blaming trump, but all of this goes back decades. Trump is just a little man. I fear people will hyperfocus on him and nothing will be done to prevent this from happening as much in the future.
Psychic Sloan Bella is saying freemason terrorism. She is so extreme these days😢 Thank you for your always honest NOT BIASED reading we appreciate you Ant❤
I can't listen to Sloan most times cause everytime she is doing a reading aboit literally anything or anyone she always brings up conspiracy theories. Not even situation is going to have some cult conspiracy
I totally agree, shes kind of turned into a mean girl and conspiracy theorist.
Agreed! I had to take a break from her. Goes to show we cannot just blindly follow someone and believe everything they say. I liked her in the beginning.
So true💯
She's been off for a minute.
It always turns into some insane conspiracy. Everyone has a handler, everyone is in a secret society, everyone is siphoning energy and every camera mishap is a demon interrupting her message.
I knew an air traffic controller and this job is unbelievably stressful and you have to be on your A game ALWAYS. HE died early and had high blood pressure early in life contributed by his job.
Yeah I've met a few before too. VERY stressful job. It's not worth the money imo.
Thank you for sharing
Thanks Ant! I'm going with the blackhawk pilot being cocky. I have seen 2 videos on YT where the path of the Blackhawk was followed from when it took off. The Blackhawk Pilot made 2 near misses with other jetliners, on the 2nd near miss it did a erratic route before hitting the smaller jet. So, so very sad. RIP to all those who lost their lives in such a tremendously horrific way.
Omgg how bad.
Where did u seen this?
Thanks for the video Ant 💗 As someone who reads veteran mental health claims all day for work, the amount of veterans that have experienced/witnessed military aircraft crashes is a bulk of what I read. It's been upsetting to see people jump to conspiracy theories. Looking at the statistics of crashes/accidents, there's almost 3 to 4 accidents a month! This one just happened to be more public where many people witnessed it, but most of these accidents happen in the ocean/over bases where they practice & never make the news like this. I completely agree with what you picked up, the military does have an issue with some of the soldiers being overly confident in their abilities & that's probably what happened here. Never underestimate ego & mediocrity.
These readings are spot on. Ant certainly gives you a whole lot of sympathy in tragic situations like this. Hearts go out to the families. This is a horrifying ordeal to go through.
This is very off topic…but has anyone noticed the sound on Ant’s videos is extremely quiet lately? I’ve watched through my tv and on my iphone with airpods, and both ways i have turn the volume all the way up to hear him 😶.
Lol, yes, I had to turn the volume up.
You’re right ant, the FAA funding was cut literally last week by Trump. So yeah… it’s what I’ve been saying tbh, they’re understaffed as fuck.
How something that was cut last week can have an effect on the situation the next week?
Just looking to put a blame on the new administration and take the spotlight off 4 years of fu€kery.
Research a little harder: In 2013, during Obama's administration, there was a $600 million budget cut done to FAA (it's on their website .gov and whitehouse.gov). In 2024, Biden's administration didn't include a budget increase for FAA. Trump didn't have anything to do with the budget, but he is looking into their hiring practice. Both parties are to blame for this mess. No one's hands are clean.
Everything is not a conspiracy people!
this happened in my hometown. appreciate you for taking the time to do this reading!
Does anyone else feel like the amount of plane crashes lately has skyrocketed? Almost like they’re trying to make us fear leaving where we are…? Like I don’t wanna get on a plane anytime soon .. I’ve heard of 5 in the past 3 months… that’s insane.
In a news cycle, it’s common for editors to post other crashes after a major crash. So to the untrained eye, it appears that the skies are unsafe.
Hope this alleviates your fear.
And the planet in the sky doing it..its not them..watch astrology or try to learn especially vedic astrology..
Was no now two? Think that’s a skyrocket??😂. Bro. Get it together
People thought the same thing when Boeing was having trouble with their planes and it seemed like every week there was something going wrong with a plane. I think you need to calm down. The media loves to fear monger. the brain has negative bias, which is why people watch the news for negative news stories. It's about survival. The media knows this and capitalizes on it. Why do you think they pushed so hard with negativity during Covid for a disease that had a 99+% survival rate.
@@cynbadlonewolf9455 this might be a surprise to you.. but there are other things outside of the USA going on. 😂 I’m not just talking about the USA or commercial planes.
-2024: Dec 17, Dec 22 x 2 crashes, Dec 23, Dec 25, Dec 29.
-2025: Jan 2, Jan 29 x2 crashes, Jan 30..
Incase you can’t count, that’s 10 crashes within a month an a bit..and I probably don’t even have the full list there.. is that not insane to you, “bro”? 😂
To me, that seems like a skyrocket.. going from hearing about 1-3 crashes in a 12 month period, to now hearing about 10 crashes within less than 1.5 months, just from my perspective, that’s a lot. When was the last time you can remember hearing about 10 planes crashing in such a short period of time..?
Also, next time you try to act like a sassy-a$s, maybe check your spelling to avoid looking like a complete numb-nut .. 😁🤣 you started off trying to chirp me by imitating a caveman.. and you’re telling ME to get it together? BRUHHH 😂😂😂
As a lay person, it appears the incident was a tragic accident. Perhaps the DCS is reaching a tipping point because of the increased traffic in an already congested area. I do not think there was a conspiracy at all.
For me, if there is any fault then it is with the helicopter pilot. I have listened to many of the flight recordings, and the helicopter pilot did confirm he had “visual separation.” Which means that pilot assumed separation responsibility flat out. The helicopter was also above the 200 feet ceiling as it travelled along that narrow corridor. Human error.
With that being said, the ATC should have confirmed with the helicopter pilot that he had visual separation with the immediate danger which was the 330 plane. We can all learn from this to keep people safe. Enough with the stupid mud slinging. Fix the problem first before fixing the blame….
I would love/enjoy another USA government government reading.
Thank you for always being so respectful in your readings. I truly appreciate you. Please keep doing what you're doing!
The head of the FAA resigned in the day of the inauguration because he was being harrased by Elon. Maybe there was a restructuring.
The FAA's issues predate Trump. The agency has a massive personnel deficit and is about 3000 controllers short.
Just stop. this is so ludicrous it's embarrassing. Whenever a new president comes in, all old political positions are replaced by a new person by the incoming president. It happens every single time. To say a grown adult in a position of power quit because they are being bullied is just stupid. Fact check. If you're going to make such outlandish statements, cite your sources.
When you said someone overestimating their skill level, that immediately matched with what a seasoned pilot said about this.He said all the pilot of the heli had to do was ask for "visual separation" to be able to do the route they wanted. He said with the heli pilot only having 500 hours of experience, they weren't experienced enough to have visual separation at night and flying around an airport! The heli pilot overestimated their skill level, and asked for visual separation. Should never had asked or been granted visual separation. BUT, how would the person granting it KNOW how many flight hours the heli pilot had? He wouldn't know that. Thank you, Ant, for this read!!
Gorgeous spread! There's a heart right in the middle! It's the heart of the matter! I love your content...so cool 😎🤙
Omg I was hoping you’d do a reading on this! Rest in peace to the people on board 🙏🏼🕊️
You should do a reading on the philadelphia plane crash too
Based on the trajectory of the plane it’s most likely a mechanical issue. Unfortunately maintenance on planes has gone down over the years to cut costs.
The last pilot that was named was not qualified to be flying or practicing for these missions. She only had roughly 450 hours flying time. All of her social media was scrubbed before her name was released.
It is because her parents were afraid she would be vilified by trump humpers, calling her DEI. They were trying to preserve her memory.
I think you nailed it. And yes, ATC has been majorly understaffed
Also the military shouldn't have been training in that area at night with a pilot with less than 500 hours. They also shouldn't have been wearing night vision in an area that was that lit up, causing a lot of distorsion.
ANT!! Thank you for this, my husband is a Navy helo pilot and what you said lines up with his assessment of the situation. I've heard a few readers reinforcing conspiracy theories but I don't believe anything unless I hear it from you. So tragic 😔
Thank you for the reading, Ant. 💗Your level-headedness and respectful way you approach these topics are much-needed in today's climate.
Rest in peace to the passengers; my thoughts are with their family and friends. I can't imagine the grief they're going through right now.
A crash in DC and then a few days later another crash in PA. The country's capital and the state in which the country was founded. This feels like a very bad omen, but I pray that I'm wrong 🙏
thank you for reading on this. i’ve been a flight attendant for 10 years and this incident shook the entire industry up 💔
Ohhh I can imagine. I used to have to fly for work a lot, as I worked for a huge corporation, & have been thinking how grateful I am I don’t have to board a plane every other week. Good luck to you. 🙏🏻🫶🏻❤
Can we get a reading on Kanye west and his wife? Many people are saying that allegedly she is being abused by him 😮😮
I never thought this crash was anything other than an accident. I don't understand how the FAA can justify not having enough ATCs. That job is vital to the safety of air travel!
You do know that trump cut the air traffic control budget and fired a bunch of people.
So he is right. Hiring practices, lack of training, overwhelmed, understaffed. They were getting huge funding and still didn’t hire. One person doing a two man job
Yeah but they can’t hire just anyone to do air traffic control
@@harperjean9812they have been turning down perfectly experienced ATC workers because they are white. I’m not lying, I’m not even American, I saw lawsuits about this a while ago.
There’s been about a thousand near misses in the past year/couple of years. In this same area two military women crashed their helicopter straight into a cliff/mountain. It’s been getting out of control. There were two ATC working that day and one was allowed to leave early or something along those lines, so you’d have to feel quite confident to think you can do the job of too people.
@@harperjean9812 Its also being mentioned inadequate training as well. And DEI had reached air traffic control as well so I can imagine some people being overconfident due to having to fake it a little.
But they weren't hiring qualified people because of DEI. They tried to keep their quota of certain types of people instead of most qualified @@harperjean9812
@@harperjean9812 The problem was that this airport needs 30 ATCs to properly man the airport and they had 19. In the past, they had a special agreement with a college to hire their trained personnel after their education was completed, but Obama but a stop to it because most of the people coming out of the program were not the right "color." He stopped the agreement between the airport and the college program and the airport has been understaffed ever since. It got worse when DEI hiring became a thing.
The communication with air traffic controller has been released and the controller asked the helicopter twice to confirm sight of plane and adjust course. They believe the helicopter was confirming sight for a different plane that was further out. Just a honest human error. Sad but it happens.
It came out recently that for the amount of traffic at the time of the crash, there should be two people managing air traffic but there was only one.
Anthony. I used to teach in the health field. There's a reason for "procedure and protocol," and it doesn't come with a label. It's to save lives.🤔
Hey Ant, thanks for doing these heavier readings. I’m sure it’s not easy to take I. That energy, so please remember to take care of yourself too. ♥
What does musk want with our info is the reading we need 😭
I hope you cover the Philly crash too. Please.
i think a good idea for a reading would be whether jay z paid off the grammys cause AINT NO WAY that was the best album of the year lmao
Two things some pilots have been saying. If they wore night vision goggles, they may not be able to differentiate between skyline lights and plane lights.
The Blackhawk WAS confirmed by CNN as flying too high (they were supposed to be at 200 ft and they were at 325ft. Plane was at 300ft).
The big thing: a lot of pilots are saying if you see a plane and it doesn’t look like it’s moving, you are on a collision course.
They also said they had one guy at ATC doing the job of 2 people.
Blackhawk kept saying they would maintain visual distance, so…
The female Pilot of the Helicopter only had 500 hrs flight time. When the helicopter radioed that they had the plane in sight, she did not have it in sight. Remember how loud the interior of helicopter is even with head set. The ATC believed that she was at proper altitude and she wasn’t. Fault on both helicopter pilot and AtC. Just my thoughts. That area is way too busy as well.
Gonna watch this later today when I have time but can you do one to see if Elon is controlling Trump or their energy between the two because it’s crazy. Maybe you have done something similar before but I’m not sure.
It never felt like an inside job to me but I so appreciate you doing a reading regardless!! Incredibly devastating and never should have happened to those poor people :(
Thanks!
Hey Ant, can you please do Kanye west and biance relationship please. Espically the event at the grammys
I would love a reading on the GRAMMY’s!!!!
I think many because of things like true crime think anything tragic must have a conspiracy element. At the end of the day it sounds like just understaffed at a job that needs full staff.
Part of me thinks it's because of with what happened with the virus being said by the white house that it was man made, aliens, and Diddy working with politicians is making people on the edge. I do believe in some conspiracy theories. I'd be a liar if I said no. However, sometimes tragic events do naturally happen.
Its a double edge sword on this. I'm glad that humans are thinking more but sometimes we don't need to think in seeing how events do unfortunately happen.
one night i was scrolling through my phone, feeling like i’d never figure out why some people just seem so magnetic. then i came across this book, Magnetic Aura by Takeshi Mizuki, and something about it caught my attention. reading it was like turning on a light in a dark room. it’s not about pretending to be someone you’re not; it’s about unlocking the energy you already have. trust me, this book is worth every page
I really like your channel and how you express yourself. You have a beautiful spirit.
Yeah the communication was not clear. He should've said do you see the plane TO YOUR LEFT. Just said do you see the plane but was seeing another that was in front of him.
They should let Robots do Air traffic control tbh.
Wow, Ant, you got this so on point, and because you don't watch the news or know what's going on with the specifics, I had a double wow response.
So yes, they were short handed, AND Michael Whitaker, a 30-year aviation industry veteran, resigned 10 days ago, after Elon Musk, the SpaceX CEO and close adviser to Donald Trump, called for him to quit.
When he took over & crash happened, there was no acting FAA administrator!
Reading on the kanye and bianca grammy stunt maybe 👀
Thx Ant for your emotional maturity per usual! 😊💜🎀
Air traffic controller tower was understaffed. Supposedly because of DEI requirements, they couldn't hire enough.
I know these do not get much views but I absolutely love these videos. Thank you so much for what you do!
Whew I was saying hoping someone will do a reading on this tragedy. Its heart breaking but we need answers closure for our lost ones. Thanks for doing this. I did not watch video yet just wanted to say thanks you're 1st one doing a reading on it. Soo sensitive and hard. God bless their souls.
Why is the volume so low? If the volume has to be cranked to full to be heard then the ad's play dangerously loud, I'm not blowing an eardrum to watch a video.
My sound is fine. TH-cam is being finicky try exiting the app and opening the app again.
No money for America but a ton for other countries 😡
That's exactly spot on. Money sent to Ukraine & Israel that is spent on munitions to kill people. Its outrageous.
Not inside, but negligent. So sad. Who was on the helicopter, tho?
Parallel universe reading 🙏🏻
can you do a reading on the justin and blake case? like who’s most likely to win the case if it even gets to that point. kinda like the reading you did with amber and johnnys court case predicting who would win
There has been six suicides in November and December of last year with air traffic controllers. They are extremely overworked. They’re only allowed to work two hours straight and then they need a break and then they can go back to work but only for two hours maximum at a time because of the high intensity of the job. I know that air traffic controller that was responsible for that route, is feeling the weight of the situation and the guilt, even though the helicopter pilot said that they’re asking for a visual separation, which means the air traffic controller is no longer responsible and that the helicopter pilots are taking responsibility for getting in line behind the plane to land, 30 seconds later they ran into the plane.
That whole area is very constricted and you don’t have a lot of space to fly because of the White House. You’re not allowed to fly over the White House as a commercial plane. You have to follow the river in order to land, and the helicopters are only allowed to fly over the White House if they’re picking up somebody so they’re already given a very limited space but yeah I agree. I think there was some laziness and arrogance in the helicopter pilots and the air traffic controllers.
You are so sweet, compassionate and wise. Thank you for being a beacon of light on heavy topics.
Love your readings! You are the best!
Federal jobs and DEI is happening to the people working in federal jobs… this is crazy that it’s gotten to desperation to get jobs done!
I was expecting a “someone knew something so they were tryna get rid of them kinda thing!” So sad for the families lost in that crash not only that one but the one in DC as well
According to AP, the head of TSA was fired and the FAA safety committee was gutted (reported on 1/21)
They would have stand in’s though. You cant just have noone there doing the job
Overestimating their ability - in the recording of the communication, the helicopter pilot said to the control tower that they 'see the incoming plane and that they're ready to move', but it is said that they're probably looking at the plane behind them, not the one incoming up front. The control asked them twice I think if they see the plane and the helicopter pilot confirmed that they did.
Thank you Ant for another great reading. May all those lost in all these crashes of late rest in peace. I hope you are right and that our transportation infrastructure becomes safer, sooner than later✌️🫶🙌
I almost twisted my ankle trying to get to this video.
You’re right, they haven’t had enough staff.
Sending love and healing vibes to everyone who lost a soul in this horrific accident 🕊️❤
US military aircraft (both jets and helicopters) seem to have an inordinate amount of crashes on the regular.
I need these videos to be louder
This is what I thought. Miscommunication or distractions were my answers because of lack of employees & too many aircrafts is what I grounded my thoughts on. Also, who were in the aircrafts. Poor souls. May they rest. Due to the negligence, they were failed. I won't say lazy, but humans got to conformable with working with less. This happens a lot with cheap companies and gov pushing too much on emphasis on less is more but they forget everything matters in order to be called a professional in your career fields
