A highly decorated one, too.

Your point is?

Well she apparently couldn't follow Tower instructions Yav ...

I will wait for the report. The initial report has the helicopter readings at the proper elevation of ~200' and the CRJ at 325' +/- 20'. Since there was impact we know those numbers from the RJ's black box and other sources aren't accurate. Now the cause has to be determined.

I have flown in and out of Washington National (I still refuse to call it the new name) and I know how incredibly busy and difficult that airport is, especially at night.

You, like that pathetic POS Trump and his braindead ass lickers, can't wait to jump in and spew - even though you know nothing. All to promote your political agenda and divide. You, as they, are shht to your cores, though, so it's what I expect from you (and them).

Okay, you've erased the ambiguity. Most definitely a loathsome pos. Thanks for clarifying.

Yep. And your restraint is respected.

#49 - exactly. I have been in two near miss situations that scared the shht out of me. One was a runway change and one was a change in the direction of take-off and landing on the same runway due to weather. The latter I will never forget, as our plane on approach to land had to make a hard right turn while a Virgin 747 that was taking off had to make a hard right turn. We were cleared to land from the South and they changed take off for the 747 to be from the North - putting us on a direct collision course on final approach. I could see the people in the windows of the 747 as it went by.

Donner, Yav, Alex, when the report is completed and blame is assigned (and it will be to the Biden Spokesperson). I'll accept the apology then.

---- off.
You'll never get an apology for what you said and what you tried to do here.

And that's unrelated to who the pilot was on the helo and who is at fault.

One thing you're too dumb to understand is RCA. Your approach to life puts even more people at risk of dying.

And that's unrelated to who the pilot was on the helo and who is at fault how this happened.

And so does clown, and Yav, and Alex.

You all know. You've emphatically said so.

Then you can post what I said that said I knew the cause and who to blame. I look forward to saying you were right. Link it. My post history is available to you.

#72 - This is close to what I was thinking. Having flown in and out of that airport at night there are lights all over, towers, etc. Trying to determine visually what something is, its distance and size is not easy. That RJ is not a big plane, either, so the idea of an Airbus at distance appearing to be an RJ, at night, is completely reasonable.

Redial, I really hope Trump and his band of idiots doesn't sabotage the NTSB's credibility with political monkeying.

You're a POS, regardless.

Hmmmm ... . Female Democrat at the helm of the chopper ...

Captain Eaves, a very White Male, was piloting the helicopter.

Shhtheap Musk and the Trump administration have dictated that all news releases on the crash will now be done through Musk's "X". Period.
Nothing like having a big ol' butt-buddy propping up your failing company, is there?
