I recorded the approach of American Airlines flight 5342, which seemed to sidestep to runway 13 and collided with a helicopter near the Potomac. The east bank is a known helicopter route, mainly for police and military use. A webcam captured an explosion mid-air, and initial reports indicate that PSA Airlines 5342 collided with an Army transport helicopter. I also have audio from the DCA tower during the incident, where traffic advisories were given. A detailed thread discusses the helicopter's tracking and its visibility on the PSA's traffic screen.

@bricaul - Brian McGuigan

.@flightradar24 recording as #AA5342 approached. Looks like another American flight was just ahead of them on final to runway 1. Possible 5342 sidestepped to runway 13, got low, and collided with a helicopter flying low on the east bank of the Potomac. The helicopter is not on ADSB.

@bricaul - Brian McGuigan

It is worth noting that – without casting any blame – the east bank of the Potomac is a published helicopter route that is generally only used by police and military helicopters given the restricted airspace. Not an unusual location for a police helicopter to be.

According to the official ADSB Exchange. The heli wasn't broadcasting ADSB. That means its transponder wasn't on.

I noticed that the CRJ700 was approaching runway 33, following the GPS approach plate for that corridor. While I don't have all the details yet, I'm intrigued about the helicopter's presence in that area, as most airlines adhere strictly to their approach procedures.

@Raptorzs1 - Raptorzs

To put things into perspective. It appears that the CRJ700 was on approach to runway 33. This is the gps approach plate for that runway. This is the path fixed wing aircraft have to follow in order to get into that airport. IE the approach corridor. Keep in mind I don’t have all the facts yet but I am curious to see what the helicopter was doing there… Most airlines stick to following the arrivals and approach plates for every flight.

@MyLordBebo "That looks extremely avoidable" Indeed! - The helicopter was apparently flying higher than it should have been - and was half a mile off course! https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14345593/american-airlines-crash-jet-black-hawk-helicopter-lights-mile-away.html

Video of American Airlines crash shows lights visible from miles away Lights from both aircraft are seen flashing as they continue to fly towards each other, before crashing in mid-air. A fireball then erupted and both aircrafts tumbled into the icy Potomac River. dailymail.co.uk

I heard the pilot was transgender, but the sources are not trustworthy and it looked to me just like good clickbait. I try to confirm, but right now I assume it is likely wrong because the first sources that posted it are click-baiters.

So the helicopter deliberately tried to hit any plane on its way? https://t.co/PCV9CSHLA7

It was deliberate https://t.co/DuVU60sD4M

The alleged transgender suicide helicopter pilot writes on social media, that he is not the one. As I said above, the initial spreaders of this were click baiters, it is not the pilot. https://t.co/r3v2ahTzrZ

🇺🇸 Jo Ellis, the transgender Black Hawk pilot: “I understand some people have associated me with a the crash in DC and that is false. It is insulting to the families to try to tie this to some sort of political agenda. They don't deserve that. I don't deserve this.” https://t.co/ENWTlLWJ35

Video Transcript AI Summary
This is Joe Ellis, a Blackhawk pilot with the Virginia Army National Guard. I want to clarify that I am not associated with the recent crash in DC, and it's disrespectful to link this tragedy to any political agenda. The families affected deserve better, and I hope my well-being puts an end to the rumors. Additionally, the Department of Defense handles casualty notifications, and I confirm that no Virginia National Guard personnel were involved in the Blackhawk that collided with the jetliner on Wednesday evening. Thank you.

Speaker 0: Interesting morning. This is Joe Ellis. I am a Blackhawk pilot with Virginia Army National Guard. I understand some people have associated me with a the crash in DC, and that is false.

The Department of Defense is responsible for casualty notifications. There were no Virginia National Guard personnel on that Blackhawk that collided with the jetliner Wednesday evening. Thank you.

I find it surprising how little curiosity the mainstream media has shown regarding the numerous helicopters flying around Washington DC, particularly near Reagan International Airport. The real reason is Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling, located just across the Potomac River. While the media often cites national security, the answer is straightforward. The base is home to many high-ranking officials, making the airspace between key locations like the Pentagon and CIA headquarters a busy "helicopter highway." I even mapped out the various commands visible on Google Maps to illustrate this.

Why Are So Many Helicopters Flying Around a Busy Airport in the Middle of Washington DC? The answer is Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling > by Matt Bracken / Jan 31, 2025 It’s amazing how uncurious the mainstream media has been about this question. I suppose they have been advised to keep this angle on the recent aviation disaster out of their stories. They just go with “It’s a busy area with lots of commercial and military aircraft” and leave it at that. “National security” is probably invoked. But the answer to the question is very simple. Directly across the Potomac River from Reagan International Airport is Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling. All of the information on the map is taken straight from Google Maps on satellite view. You can look around for yourself, zooming way down to examine each component command and service facility, from the headquarters of the Defense Intelligence Agency to the base barber shop. Please don’t be concerned about my disclosing any secrets, anybody on the planet with an internet connection can see the same thing. I merely labeled a screen shot with the names of the various commands. I’m only guessing, but I’d bet there are more generals and admirals per square mile on Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB) than anywhere other than the Pentagon, which is located a short helicopter hop two miles to the northwest. CIA headquarters is twelve miles up the Potomac “as the crow flies,” but anybody who is familiar with driving inside the DC Beltway knows that while a helicopter ride might take ten minutes, the same drive by automobile can take over an hour, depending on traffic conditions. So for the convenience of all of the high-ranking generals, admirals and members of the Senior Executive Service assigned to JBAB, the Army established units like the 12th Aviation Battalion. The 12th AvBatt is based at Fort Belvoir, Virginia, which is about 15 miles to the southwest. So, as you can imaging, the air corridor along the Potomac between CIA HQ, the Pentagon, the White House, JBAB and Fort Belvoir is virtually a “helicopter highway.” [The rest is at the Substack link in the first reply to avoid post X-tinction]

NEW VIDEO OF DC BLACKHAWK COLLISION AND PLANE CRASH These are the clearest images of the collision we've seen so far. How is it possible the Blackhawk pilots did not see the AA jet. https://t.co/mqY2Lnhn0K

@Matt_Bracken48 So based off this image the reports of the helicopters not being allowed to travel above 200' are true, and that means the helicopter that took out the plane appears to have done this on purpose. As the helicopter didn't climb until the plane was in sight. https://t.co/r04iZYjFDF
