Breaking News. Plane crash in DC. Collided with either helicopter or drone over Potomac.

I'll wait for the FINAL report.
That's all well and fine. NTSB gives valid indications of what has been interpreted from the data. One can get a reasonable idea from their pressers.

It's gonna be pilot error. Was it accidental or intentional or sheer ignorance that caused the tragic chain of events?

Hey Bro'...............you be likin' Obama's policy?

IOW, was it due to DEI consequences or out-and-out terrorism?

How does a cherry pilot with 450-500 hours end up flying a night training mission, supposedly with night vision, training in a high congestion AOA?

I mentioned a former BH pilot stating that someone with 500 hours was almost unheard of with the norm being 1000 or more in BH's. Another poster pretty much said the same thing. So was this person pushed along in the interest of becoming a DEI campaign poster? And what of the two years serving Biden ice cream cones at the WH? Was she flying regularly then, too?

Indeed, in view of the liberals’ agenda to prioritize females and blacks in the interests of “diversity,” with degree of competency being a secondary measure, it is reasonable to ask the questions you raised. Was Biden’s “woke” military so eager to give the young woman a chance that they threw caution to the wind and let her fly under such challenging circumstances?

It appears her dad was high level and that leads to a trail of influencing her advancement and participations

Well white females have done great, I wonder how many jobs you have gotten because of AA.
 
Here is a simulation of what might have happened with real audio,


The lighting configurations on both aircraft are incorrect.

I believe the maneuver to land on runway 33 is called a side-slip not a side-step.

All in all, I believe it is a pretty good representation. Thanks for posting this!

I served as well, as a flight crew member and I did a tour in that particular unit.

500 Hours is a qualified pilot but not very experienced. You graduate with close to 200 from flight school. ANd in that particular unit 500 was very low. While fine for a regular unit most of the pilots there were very experienced.

But shit changes.

Okay, fair enough. This was a less experienced pilot who was doing a qualifying flight with an instructor and a technical support NCO.

The problem is, of course, is that all the branches are having a hard time recruiting and retaining personnel.

They are all FACTS.

1) The pilot went out of her flight zone a few hundred feet away from where commercial air traffic were approaching landing, at a very busy airport, and in the dark

2) The supervisor did allow an employee to go home, forcing a remaining employee to cover the job of two controllers

3) Obama did instruct the FAA to limit white hires in order to achieve a “better” ratio of blacks to whites

Well, you are leaving a few points out.

The first was that the instruments showed her in her flight zone... This might be a case of instrument failure.

The supervisor allowed a sick employee to go home. A sick employee can't do his job to efficiency and might spread diseases to the rest of the team. The days of "toughing out a cold" went out with Covid.

ATC are 85% male and 75% white.

Obama's policy was fine. We had no crashes like this when he was in charge.

Trump goes along, terrorizes the Federal Work Force, and shit starts go to south.

This should brighten your day.

You start by building a foundation.....in this case, by people who didn't have a clue what they were doing. Now we bear the fruits of their labor.

It's said a current president's decisions affect the country for a decade or more.

Here we are today.

Trump goes along, terrorizes the Federal Work Force, and shit starts go to south.
Shit was going south for quite some time. Trump is now exposing the corruption that you and your cronies have accepted as the norm.

May God have mercy on you people.
