Golden age… Yeah right
😢
But it looks like—could it be—that the plane did not have its strobes and nav lights on?!
Aircraft was on final heading to land at Washington Airport and had air traffic control authorization to be there. Helicopter was the one that crashed into the plane. Why was the helicopter in the designated landing area of the airport, flying towards multiple aircraft that were on the final landing pattern?
Que horrible, sad
Headline is misleading ! Helicopter collided with plane
How is this even possible
You have that backwards. Heli went into the aircraft
Looks like the plane was hit on the side. Impossible they didn't see it; doesn't look like an accident.
Something wrong with the chopper pijot
Drone crashes into it more like
Trump has an issue since he stepped in 🤣🤣🤣
What's going on in US
Who was on the plane is my first question.
Serious fault on parts of air traffic controller and Black Hawk pilot. The airplane was descending and was seconds from touchdown. ATC should have asked the heli to ascend. A helicopter is far more agile and can instantaneously alter course. A small error or misjudgement or oversight caused an irreparable loss. God give strength to the affected families…🙁
My heartfelt condolences to the families of 64 passengers and the crew members. It's tragic and very unfortunate 😢
No way that helicopter didn't see that plane. Imo.
