Pilot uses video and explains helicopter crashed both aircraft

[JoeB131]

We dated and decided to get married. She even flew from Berlin to my city in Germany where I picked her up and we were still getting married. It was real close to my leaving Germany she blurted out who she fucked. And was scared shitless. I asked the doctors in my Battalion for a prescription to kill her kid. She later told me she had her period and was not actually pregnant. We were engaged when she told me her father told her after she lost her engagement ring at the theater (he said she would not marry me) she confessed a teacher took her to that I decided to not marry her and date a drop dead beauty in America. We got married. When jutta called me from Berlin I told her in 10 days later I was getting married. She cried and complained about american soldiers. Later after I got divorced I called her again. She sent me photos. She also said she married a lawyer. I asked if she was happy and she said yes. She asked me to return to Berlin. I did not.

If your wife confesses to you she is dating, you will change your tune.

Seriously, is your whole life a soap opera?

LDS women are not our slaves. They are loyal and true. And so are the men normally. The LDS is not a cult. Keep this shit up; and you will drag you know who into your mess. I can run her down as well as you do to my religions and my family.
My pair of wives separated by a long time and after divorce were not my slaves.

Do you really want me to start posting the stats on the high rates of depression in Mormon women?

 

[Robert W]

Well, funny thing. Since you were helping the Wright Brothers, they started relying more and more on these things called "in-flight computers".

I'm willing to bet when all is said and done, they will find that the Helicopter pilots was working off bad data from faulty equipment,

I learned after this tragedy that at that airport they still have the same equipment as when I last landed there. I know about said flight computers. Those came around in the 1980s. And after that improved versions. So now you think the Army helicopters are poorly maintained. With Biden as president, you may be right. But when i was in the Army and working at an Army field when the Colonel asked me to handle that problem, the maintenance was top rated yet the paper work was terrible. I fixed that for the airfield.

The Helicopter accepted being pilot in command and the flight was visual for the chopper. It means he would fly where he was supposed to always keeping the passenger plane in sight. There is speculation he did not keep the plane in sight.

JoeB131, you and I are so different. I show up to properly inform. You show up to argue even when you have no clue at all what the discussion is about.

 

[Robert W]

You applauded a cheating woman and started it. I needed to correct your lies.

 

[Robert W]

Do you want me to discuss Chinese women who cheat on husbands?

 

[JoeB131]

If she was cheating, that's on you for not stimulating her enough.

I learned after this tragedy that at that airport they still have the same equipment as when I last landed there. I know about said flight computers. Those came around in the 1980s. And after that improved versions. So now you think the Army helicopters are poorly maintained.

Very possibly.

With Biden as president, you may be right. But when i was in the Army and working at an Army field when the Colonel asked me to handle that problem, the maintenance was top rated yet the paper work was terrible. I fixed that for the airfield.

Equipment was poorly maintained when I was in during the 1980's and Reagan was lavishing the military with money.

The problem there is that when you let enlisted men do your maintenance, you are often going to have trouble.

Do you want me to discuss Chinese women who cheat on husbands?

YOu could, but they really don't. It's actually considered quite a disgrace in their culture.

Now, I'm not saying that to laud them. Quite the contrary, Chinese men commit adultery quite a lot and the women are expected to tolerate it.

Did you also work with the maintenance and pilots at an Army airfield. I did Joe.

Thanks for explaining why you married her. She won't cheat you say but you will.

 

[JoeB131]

Again, things have changed since the Wright Brothers screamed "CONTACT", old man.

Thanks for explaining why you married her. She won't cheat you say but you will.

Naw, she'd probably cut my balls off if I did. And then fry them up in some weird spices that she brings home from who knows where.

Nobody taught you when the Wright Brothers lived.
I notice how you blamed me for the German womans cheating. Well we were separated by many miles. When I got back to America, we were vastly separated. But you blamed me.

I relied on your claim Chinese women expect husbands to cheat.

 

[Zavulon]

Musk said the correct thing. So JoeB131, you want grandchildren prosecuted for what their grandfather did for his Government at the time?

It's more about preventing grandchildren committing mistakes of their grandparents. German tanks came on Russian land, therefore, its pretty likely that Russian tanks will come on German land.

Hey, guy, I wasn't talking about all Chinese women, I was talking about Mrs. B131. If I cheated, she'd cook my unit in a hot-pot.

I don't know why the German woman decided to move on with her life after you went somewhere else. But given the way you gloated about your two former exes having tragic stories, and her having a tragic story, there's probably some serious misogyny going on there.

 

[Robert W]

The women posting here know I never gloated about either of my beautiful wives. Wife one I said was abused by her husband after me. Wife 2 dated one person casually and stopped very fast.

 

[Robert W]

For abusing her, that is natural.

 

[Robert W]

When I was in Germany in 1962, they had done a great job rebuilding. I am sure they had plenty of help. I did not talk to any there who missed Hitler. And Hitler in the 1930s and really improved their lives. They did not like him after he made war.

 

[Robert W]

This is a reasoned approach to the Helicopter killing 67 humans.
I have from the early part blamed the Helicopter. Did I want to? Definitely not. Who did I want blamed? I did not like blaming any pilot nor any air traffic controller.

But when I saw the helicopter fly directly at a fast pace into the passenger jet, I realized the helicopter was the cause. Why the woman pilot hit the passenger jet I don't know. She was either doing it on purpose or was very distracted. A pilot in command will be found guilty every time they are distracted. We pilots realize when we pilot aircraft, lord let their not be a crash, for as pilots in command we will get blamed.

Take a driver on a freeway who belongs in the right hand lanes. If he crosses into the other traffic, he will be blamed. It is similar to what we face when we pilot airplanes.

Or.... Reagan Airport is overbooked for the amount of capacity it has... and doesn't have enough air traffic controllers because the whole system is understaffed.

But let's blame the female pilot.

Look, I do not post to argue. I am telling you ahead of the report who will be blamed. She was the pilot in command of the aircraft that slammed into the passenger plane. I have flown a lot and never encountered a time to put the blame on the Air traffic controller. I have landed when Jets also were landing and believe me, had I hit any jet, the NTSA would blame me and not the Jet. I was once at the tower of the Hayward Airport and they let us pilots go into all the FAA facilities, no question. I noticed one controller telling the pilot what runway to land on and I told him that was not correct and why. He thanked me and called the pilot and corrected it to the right runway. But the problem for the controller was the wind had suddenly shifted directions and it surprised him. At the time as I recall his long ago happening, even had the pilot not changed runways, it was not a different runway but simply changing from one end to the opposite end and landing on the same runway. We pilots are taught to land into the headwind.

If your nonsense was true, there would have been wrecks at that airport all day long.

Actually, it was only a matter of time.

The Haunting Lesson No One Wants to Hear From the Washington Plane Crash

Why won’t anyone fix our broken air safety systems?

slate.com

A year and a half ago, Slate’s Dan Kois wrote an article titled “Everyone Seems to Agree a Major Plane Crash Is Coming.” “We’re overdue,” one pilot told him. But knowing a big crash like this was coming—seeing all the patched-up holes in the aviation system that might have made it more likely—doesn’t seem to have made anyone more prepared. Instead of somber reflection, we’ve gotten the blame game, most shamelessly from Donald Trump, who called a press conference to say diversity efforts caused the collision. He even listed off a bunch of disabilities, implying that no one with, say, hearing trouble or partial paralysis could be an effective air traffic controller.


In the days since an American Airlines flight collided with a Black Hawk helicopter over the Potomac River, killing dozens, there’s this one fact I can’t stop thinking about: It’s been 15 years since a crash like this has happened. Fifteen years ago, the iPhone was essentially brand-new. Barack Obama had just been elected president. It seems like a lifetime ago. And that means a couple of things: First, we haven’t responded as a country to a big, random accident like this in a while. But it also means: Some experts had been waiting for this moment. Dreading it.

A year and a half ago, Slate’s Dan Kois wrote an article titled “Everyone Seems to Agree a Major Plane Crash Is Coming.” “We’re overdue,” one pilot told him. But knowing a big crash like this was coming—seeing all the patched-up holes in the aviation system that might have made it more likely—doesn’t seem to have made anyone more prepared. Instead of somber reflection, we’ve gotten the blame game, most shamelessly from Donald Trump, who called a press conference to say diversity efforts caused the collision. He even listed off a bunch of disabilities, implying that no one with, say, hearing trouble or partial paralysis could be an effective air traffic controller.

“Air traffic control training is notoriously difficult and an enormous number of people wash out of it. It’s not like you walk in the door and they hand you a pair of headphones and a microphone and they’re like, OK, get that guy onto Runway 33. It takes years. And lots of people don’t succeed for various reasons. So,it’s one of the few jobs in America that seems legitimately pretty merit-based,” said Kois.

Full staffing for the United States’ air traffic controllers would be over 14,000 controllers. And as of the end of last year, we had 10,800 controllers. That’s roughly two-thirds of the number that we should have, and that’s not new. The result is that all those controllers are all working 60-hour weeks. Pulling longer weeks than that is not at all uncommon, and towers are frequently understaffed. If someone’s sick, if someone has to go home, if someone has an emergency, there isn’t a lot of give in the system to solve those problems. So, in towers all over the place, everyone’s working a really long time. They’re frequently doing more than they should be doing, and they’re doing it in an insanely high-pressure environment.

The crash really suggests some of the many problems of the Elon Musk DOGE-style federal management system, which is fire everyone and let God sort it out. But also, this specific flight, this Wichita to National flight on American, has only been flying for about a year, and it was a new flight added to National Airport. Pretty much everyone—the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority, the National Transportation Safety Board, the Federal Aviation Administration—agrees that airport is at or above capacity for safe and efficient use. But they keep adding flights to it.
