CNN Narrator: In the first video, the Black Hawk can be seen flying at speed over the Potomac from the left side of the screen. The American Airlines plane can be seen flying towards the airport before the two collide causing a mid-air explosion and fall into the river.
In the second video, you can see the Army helicopter and American Airlines plane travel toward each other. After the collision and subsequent explosion, the airliner can be seen spinning into the water and the Black Hawk is also seen falling into the water.
If the actualities belie the assumptions (e.g., conscious pilots, aircraft subject to manual control), some or all of the assumptions must be inaccurate.
Aren’t each of these videos from approximately the same angle?
Is this video pointing out an anomaly in flight patterns and timing of each object’s crash into the water?
Something not right here.
I have seen chinooks flying in pairs over Adams Morgan as low as 3 heights of a large tree (150 feet). and I wondered WCGW? Entire arrangement of a base right across busy airport is insane and disaster waiting to happen.
In this case, there is more to the story. No way heli pilot (if there was one) did not see flying straight into the jet while having CA (crash alert) beeping for whole 10 seconds.
They lied to us about those drones in New Jersey, and about not knowing about fate of Ocean Gate which was monitored in real time by the Navy.
Wow, now I’m wondering why the airline pilot didn’t see the chopper’s bright lights!
Theres an old pilot adage that goes something like this, one mistake is not what usually kills you, its multiple mistakes, but one mistake sometimes attracts other mistakes. In this instance both pilots and control seem to not be paying adequate attention to their environment.
Years ago in my limited piloting days it was absolutely verboten to intrude into patterns like this. If anybody violated it, control would cloud up and rain on the intruder and all the other pilots in the area heard it.
This was no accident.
