Plane Crash

Prayers for American Airlines and military helicopter.

My sister is a major on base there on Potomac River. They can smell jet fuel and heard crash. Also, i went there for UH game vs Temple in 2022. Stopped by on way to game. Got to see Marine 1 take off from about 100 yards or less away. Her old house and street before her promotion on current base is covered in jet fuel.

Tragic. Prayers to Kansas as plane was flying from there.

I don’t understand why a military helicopter or any helicopter is in the flight path of a passenger plane trying to land.

The ATC communicated to the pilot that a plane was coming in for a landing and did he see it……this was 30 seconds before the crash.

Intentional ?
Hate to even bring that up without any investigation at this point.

Does Telsa make helicopters?

You proved that twice already.

New York Times just reported there was one controller on duty rather than two as there should have been.

At that time of day it’s one guy for helicopters and one guy for planes….apparently the controller that normally only handles helicopters was doing double duty and was responsible for planes as well.

It did not say if a guy called in sick, etc……but whatever supervisor okayed only having one controller on duty just killed 67 people.

And you guys making light of this and turning it political, regardless of side, are assholes.
This is not the appropriate topic to take jabs at each other.

"Our hearts break for the families who lost loved ones in the tragic plane and helicopter crash at DCA. We send our prayers and condolences to everyone who is mourning today, and we’re grateful to the first responders who are doing everything they can to help under the extremely difficult circumstances. " BO. That is how you do it, that is all that had to be said today.

Mods, This topic has clearly turned political in violation of board policy. Please lock it. Thank you.

I think the policy is you need to flag the post you think is in violation. Don’t assume mods read every post.

Yes we don’t read every post. Please flag offending posts. But these posts have gotten attention.

“But these posts have gotten attention”
What does that mean?
That attitude contradicts the political ban.You either enforce it or you don’t.

Chris, the posts were deleted or hidden. The offenders were suspended, one permanently. So what are you complaining about?

Your post was misleading. Thank you for your clarification.

Misunderstood perhaps, but not misleading.
