Yep. Anytime a politician or a pundit talks about aviation, it's clear they don't know how anything works. Same goes with every other thing I'm an expert on. Huh, I'm beginning to think these guys are all actors and don't know shit!
They’ve answered that question. They were running a routine (annual) training exercise to simulate evacuating high level officials during a crisis (continuity of government).
Further: The Blackhawk mission was on a common flight path used in the capital area which is tight - admittedly too tight, and they were flying at night.
The helicopter pilot requested visual separation clearance only which atc approved. Unfortunately only 1 atc was avbl when there are normally 2.
3/3 Helo pilot may have mistaken a diff plane in his sight for the crj. Or gnd lights could have obscured both aircraft’s view. This may have caused the helo pilot to think it was safe to increase altitude.
Final - The aircraft did receive a tcas (traffic) warning & initiated a climb but it was too late. This is only preliminary info. They are still finalizing the theory.
Everything with these people is a conspiracy theory. Everything. We're experiencing a massive mental health emergency in this country due to manipulation & gaslighting. It's truly disturbing & nothing's being done about it.
Except he knows exactly what he's doing. He's intentionally sowing fear and distrust about marginalized communities, AKA stochastic terrorism. The Nazi's did the same thing toward the beginning.
Ehhh, it's been 24hrs and no statement to that effect from the bozo in chief, so I'm thinking it must have been a straight, white, cis male with no obvious disabilities. Otherwise they would have put pilot/crew photos on billboards by now.
Oh, so far it appears to be cis males, but they're going all in on "it was evil DEI that did it!" So, same response either way looks like. Because facts don't matter.
All I know is when I talk about this to people at work tomorrow, I’m going to say I don’t feel safe in Trump’s America. And I’m going to keep saying that every time something bad happens.
