Investigators are going to have to look at every possible reason a military Black Hawk Helicopter could crash into an American Airlines passenger jet landing at Reagan Airport in D.C.
The calls from air traffic controllers for the helicopter to “return to base” raise serious concerns over what may have caused this crash.
We even pulled the altitude and flight tracking data that revealed sharp zig-zags and a sudden drop in altitude moments before the crash. Here are the possible reasons behind the disaster:
Mechanical Failure
Air Traffic Control Failure
Human Error
Nefarious Action
Pilot Suicide
Computer Hack
We have the audio of that “return to base” call, as well as the altitude data you have to see and hear to believe.
I could not get the recording to open up.
i see black box with white triangle icon in center that would normally activate the link to open the recording, but nothing happens when “clicked”. Are others having this difficulty ?
Is there another link that can be sent ?
You could not get the YouTube video to open? I tried it on two different browsers, and it opened on both. You might disable your shields if using Brave browser… I opened it on Brave and FireDragon.
Update -- -- Found that clicking on the screenshot above opens the video.
If you click on link to original article you cannot open the video.
I can’t find any coverage of Gabbard’s confirmation hears today. Click any link and it will take you to coverage of the crash. The Deep State is scared to death of this woman. I no longer believe in coincidences.
Odds are we will NEVER know for sure why this happened. The most likely explanation is pilot error by the Blackhawk pilot. He was asked if he had eyes on the jet and replied he did but it’s probable he saw a different jet and not the one he flew into. But NO explanation is ever good enough for the conspiracy theorists.
I suppose if we haven’t been lied to over and over and gaslit over and over about every single thing that has happened, perhaps we wouldn’t have so many “conspiracy theorists”. I no longer call it conspiracy theory. I call it pattern recognition.
I no longer call it conspiracy theory. I call it pattern recognition.
Right answer.
personally, as a pilot having flown both helicopters, gliders and airplanes from the little i have gleaned from the “media” I wonder of the milpilot simply followed the wrong plane when given instruction to follow the departing craft. A to prognostications of cause, I wait for the prelim findings from the FAA.
That is possible and maybe likely, but it doesn’t explain two experienced pilots from a premier squadron (meaning the pilots would be well vetted) not adhering to course rules, not looking out the window, and not obeying instructions from ATC. Two return to base calls and one land at Dulles call were not answered or obeyed. Were they NORDO (no radio)? Apparently not as there was some communications going through. Were they having engine problems and so didn’t want to be as low as course rules required? If they had a chip light or some such thing they would have declared an emergency and set it down at the airport area pretty quickly. I did have such a chip light on one of my helicopter piloting flights, and there is not much time to react but there would be signposts like emergency squawk and comms. A chip light would take your eyes off looking out the window and onto gauges and looking down for a place to land. l also have flown helicopters, gliders, and aircraft and have never seen such a thing before. The accident investigation will be an interesting read.
Another question; when you respond that you have a visual, it is normally the pilot talking, since the pilot has to have the visual to avoid the aircraft. A woman was piloting the aircraft under evaluation, so she would be the one talking on the radio, but I only hear male voices. So what is up with that? is the evaluation pilot talking on the radio confirming a visual but not flying?
I did not want to mention that because I did not want to speculate about a transexual pilot.
Trans pilot Jo Ellis rumored to be Black Hawk pilot in fatal collision over Potomac River Maybe this was the reason this happened, not sure.
It boggles my mind that a “reasonably experienced” pilot could (day OR night) fly into the final approach air corridor of a commercial (or other) jet’s pathway. Unthinkable! A private pilot would be at imminent loss of license for such an infraction, even if it did not result in a calamity.
These rules are in place for a purpose! The result of violation of the Do Not Fly glide path air corridor rule was evident from this disaster.
Four military in a Blackhawk take out 60+ souls. I still can’t quite wrap my head around this horror!
And to do such a thing on a check flight?
A bit of a reach to believe that a Russian on the plane could have been the target.
Listen to the tone of the ATC who tells the Blackhawk pilot to “return to base,” and “I need you to land.”
The human voice inflection: there is tension, exasperation, concern in those words. They are not spoken in the usual flat, professional and uninflected parlance of the typical ATController.
Something was seriously wrong in that Blackhawk cockpit and the ground controller knew it--and was trying to get the ‘copter down!
