The lack of common sense and experience seems to be everywhere these days. Aviation is but a spear point example of what may be coming.

YES, the helicopter climbed from 250 to 450 feet. 😡 Such a low altitude in water, I think some PAX died from hypothermia. It only take 5 MINUTES for 34° water to effect your ability to move.

Really interesting analysis… In watching a lot of of the Mayday air crash investigation shows it always seems like there’s multiple mistakes that lead to a crash. Unfortunately, the army is gonna have a black spot on them for years and probably never be able to conduct training exercises over the river again.

Offering the flight attendants chocolate is a cool idea.

I'm no pilot, but your video is such a great public service and you deserve great recognition.

Aww Gary my heart goes out to you. Well said for expressing your opinion as an experienced pilot. So many lives lost. Flying terrifies me know to be honest not flown in 7 years. Maybe your words of wisdom will get me from Glasgow to Italy. Keep up the excellent work you all do. Stay safe.

This one didn’t age well

No speculation needed - official raw footage makes it clear Lobach was flying above altitude, sped through the air directly in the jet's path, and made NO ATTEMPT WHATSOEVER to evade the collision. Despite being warned 12 seconds prior and two seconds prior again. 450 flight hours, a darling of the criminal Biden regime.

Me rewatching to look for the ring: 👁️👄👁️

It would feel wrong somehow to like this video, what with the tragic nature of the incident. Well done on the explanation and in keeping any animosity out of the video.

The dipshit helicopter pilot flying too high and air traffic controller failed all those souls by being nonchalant and not specific! Too bad they landing strip was changed at the last minute! Can't see the blazing jet lights in front of you! Epic fail on helicopter and Air Traffic control. I used to love flying, now am scared to death!

Is it the responsibility of the ATC tower to notify the pilots of all aircraft in its vicinity of the coordinates of other aircraft? That seems pretty basic to me. It is scary to think that, with all of the technology available, miscommunication like this could happen… I’ve heard that most plane crashes happen within 10 minutes of takeoff or landing, so I’d think that the RA ought to be in operation during these times… My prayers & heart go out to the deceased, their families, & loved ones, as well as to all who witnessed this tragic event🙏🏼 ✨💖✨

Was the helicopter much higher than it was supposed to be?

Poor people , you think they were still alive when they hit the water?

Interesting perspective!

This was a hit job.

A BATHROOM???? Are std industry terms no longer used anywhere ???😂😂😮

Huge respect to you and thank you very much!

Please make video on jejua plane crash korea

I agree 100%. Thankyou for your knowledge and explaining how NO PLANE SHOULD HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT BEING HIT BY A HELICOPTER. ABSOLUTLY HARRIFIC FOR THOSE WHO LOST THEIR LIVES AND THEIR FAMILIES. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

You are doing very well

Big tragedy

You are doing da great job so much information thank you 😢

The Triple-7 is one of my fave aircraft! I love the timbre of its engines as it’s getting ready to taxi. When I lived in #Winthrop, MA near BOS Logan Airport, while in my condo, I could hear Cathay Pacific’s 777 getting ready for lift off, when it would pass my building, the structure vibrated. All of this would happen nightly around 01:45…I loved it, my neighbors…not so much! ❤️

Helpful, thank you!

Thanks, I did receive one and called the IPASS company and they told me not to open it but delete it which I did.

He said, she said, they said......does a chopper pilot truly require a direct command from air traffic control in order to avoid a commercial passenger plane? How in the world does a qualified, sober chopper pilot miss seeing something as big as a commercial jet?

Clicking does NOT do anything.

The hkp and the CRJ were opposite when the hkp got the clearance : go behind the CRJ which is impossible. I think the hkp was looking at another aircraft.

Was the pilot on the helicopter intentionally trying to cause this? What was his/her mental status? The extreme mis-judgement in this event makes me wonder.

Another thought. Maybe Ronald Reagan Airport should be military only and the other two before domestic and international flights or split the international domestic flights up. After all you do have three airports near each other. I know one of them is hardly ever used. I read an article on it.

No need to apologize. We get it. Suggestion: No nighttime flights for helicopters and small aircraft. By the way…. where are the “lights” that flash SOS communications? We should have to use visual and audio communications simultaneously. Maybe maybe design and install some green lights all around the structural outline of the plane when it’s internet is on landing at or just prior to an airport …. you know like wrapping them around the Christmas tree. I would say install green lights all around the exterior of the plane to make it look like a plane in darkness like a dotted green light … a sort of holograph. I don’t think it would be hard to add strips of protective small green lights with clear coverings that you could just flip a switch inside the plane to light up the plane approaching or departing, and maybe also have green headlights to differentiate. Maybe have all green lights for planes taking off and all blue lights for planes landing and maybe all gold lights for helicopters. Something better has to be in position to protect aircraft and passengers. Military should be obeying information from air traffic controllers because they are smaller and easier to maneuver up and down. My brother, Steven Imhof, was an ATC for a short period of time in Bangor, ME, and I think I remember him saying that the life of an ATC is five years due to the stress levels. there have been so many flight accidents or near accidents lately that it becomes highly suspicious to the public. That’s why this video was so important. I think it was the helicopter’s fault because they can maneuver from high to low much faster given the distance to do so. I would like to see a video and hear the voice of the pilot in the Blackhawk helicopter, but I doubt if the military will release it.

Thank you for this video.

Maybe there should not be night time flights.

That was interesting Makes sense out of a senseless situation that took so many lives.

I spent 36 yrs in military and civilian aviation. Ex flight engineer 727's. But spent most of my career as a lead mechanic. I was the inflight mechanic for general Sanchez and Casey out of Balad Iraq. Why did the mission commanders train in approach patterns?

The black Hawk pilot was at fault. They were flying higher than they should’ve being. And had night vision goggles that distracted his vision.

Gary - good commentary and I suspect your observations will become DCA policy going forward. I am also a more than a bit surprised that ATC did not observe the potential for the collision path and specifically identify the CJ and Blackhawk in alignment with each other, regardless of the elevations of either aircraft. Perhaps if they'd not had a reduced staff that evening this might have been caught (the old "two heads are always better than one" model). I've not been a commercial pilot (only a private fixed wing and a Bell 206 trainee, and that was in the 1980s...) - however, I do have decades of commercial air travel on your airline almost exclusively, so I'm aware of T/O and landing procedures that involve fixed wing and rotorcraft.

Pete Buttegieg was a 100% DEI hire , the first thing he did was take eight weeks of maternity leave to be with his husband . They say he took as much vacation time as Biden . He knew nothing about aviation . Clueless just like Joe Biden .

I'm no libertarian (more of a socialist), but you made an extremely valid point here about government funding in this case. John Oliver rocks! 😁

Thank you, Gary, for an explanation that makes so much sense. I can only hope that something will be done so that this will never happen again.

Who was flying the Chopper, and what mistakes did he/she make?

You are so correct on your break down, this will definitely be a learning experience

NTSB said that the helicopter did not have their system tracking on

Another Absolutely FANTASTIC fun filled informational video,,, and it makes me want to go do these, and watch these events and just have fun. I have always said the same thing about my husband and I being born a couple of hundreds years late,,, I do believe people were happier back then,, oh life might have been harder physically but happier lives for all,,, no doubt in my mind ,,, some day maybe I will have a gun and have more fun, ❤love it keep them coming

Dont all airports have cameras covering the airports?? why is there no video of them taking off ...since they were only in the air seconds something could be seen at takeoff.....or am i just wrong???

some families need to ascribe "FAULT" for something so traumatizing to move on... nobody should speak on their behalf and think they don't deserve that.. im seeing a lot of channels and comments with just that sentiment because people don't like the word "blame". Which is such an easy position when having no relation to the dozens of families.

In all honesty...it's a miracle an accident hasn't happened before now...what with the helos flying here as well. Way too much traffic & some major changes need to happen.
