  5. i stand corrected, fox did report this yesterday; can't find a link to it on their main page: https://www.foxnews.com/us/dc-plane-crash-disaster-crew-chief-1-pilot-doomed-army-black-hawk-helicopter-identified they appear to have suppressed it on their main site "cnn.com" "andrew eaves" returns null
  6. former blackhawk pilot says 3 holes in the cheese: 1 - POLICY ERROR: the mh-60 was down a crew member - should have had 4 not 3 crew - specifically should have a 2nd crew chief to clear visual on both sides 2 - PILOT ERROR: mh-60 was supposed to be at 200 feet not 350+ where the collision occurred - was this a result of using night vision? 3 - ATC ERROR: dca tower did not ask MH-60 if they had the rj at 5'oclock - mh-60 field of view (forward) is prima-facie they were looking at the wrong plane when responded affirmative that they had the traffic they needed to avoid - new collision video proves this - zero evasive maneuvers at all +++ not voiced by the ex-pilot is the known tasking issue with 1 not 2 assigned controllers to the event in the dca tower https://www.cnn.com/2025/01/31/us/video/black-hawk-helicopter-pilot-elizabeth-mccormick-plane-crash-digvid

  9. ability to edit above post expired, should have read like this: at 5am bbc reported the below; US MSM media remains silent 4 hours later atlanta journal constitution named o'hara yesterday afternoon but CNN BASED IN ATLANTA has an embargo on both names, pics, etc. https://www.ajc.com/news/crime/gwinnett-high-school-grad-among-soldiers-killed-in-dc-crash/H2QMATWGIRHKPN6ML3Q63HE2YA/ Ryan O'Hara Ryan O'Hara, 29, was the crew chief of the Black Hawk helicopter that collided with the passenger plane, according to CBS News. He leaves behind a wife and one-year-old son, his local Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) program said in a social media post confirming his death.

Ryan O'Hara Andrew Eaves Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves confirmed that Chief Warrant Officer 2 Andrew Eaves was killed in the collision. Paying tribute to her husband, Carrie Eaves confirmed he was one of the pilots of the Blackhawk helicopter.

  10. here's a great summary of the overall faa/atc situation: https://viewfromthewing.com/collision-on-final-approach-sparks-dei-blame-game-the-faas-real-air-traffic-control-crisis-runs-much-deeper/#respond
  11. that's another field that should be shut down other than for emergency use or daylight unlimited visibility use for the aircraft industry businesses on site (like the museum that's there)

  15. i'll wager that's what happened we do not have a supercomputer/AI capability which takes all of the TCAS and ADS-B data and projects forward in time - all it does is render on screens and humans have to interpret it this is a perfect opportunity for doge to get a win so he who must not be insulted can spike the football
  16. it wasn't full ads-b transponder signal evident on all the tracking sites no one can fly dark in the dca zone too many links too much to post but search this string if you want to deepdive: <TSA DCA Access Standard Security Program>

  18. no - that's dead on - team turnip is probably actually only about 38-42% our side lost because our party thought we could slam-dunk taking the high road and got out-socialed the intelligent aware objective and enlightened caucus is probably less than 15% the 30% in the middle were easily winnable and in hindsight the dems punted on 1st down
