Correcting a previous post, the radio traffic to the blackhawk was "do you have the CRJ in sight" and was told to go behind the CRJ, to which PAT25 advises "in sight...visual separation." 12/

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. ADSB: "Following developments of what appears to be a collision between a CRJ arriving from Wichita and a military VIP transport helicopter just east of DCA. The military aircraft was not broadcasting ADSB." The heli was triangulated via MLAT but not ADSB. I'm a paid subscriber to them. I trust 100% of what they say. It all checks out.

We're operating under a unified command. All everybody's together. So we also have requested state police helicopters from Maryland, and the coast guard helicopter is working. So this is a state and federal response as well. US coast guard's got some boats in the water as well. So it's a highly complex operation. The conditions out there are extremely rough for the responders. It's cold. They're dealing with relatively, windy conditions. Wind is hard, out on the river. So they're out there working. We're keeping doing everything we can to keep them safe. Speaker 6: Our unit says chief D'Aure alluded to. In 2048, we received a alert from the FAA tower of an aircraft incident involving a commercial aircraft and a helicopter. Our units immediately responded and deployed 3 boats and immediately called for mutual aid resources. Again, as chief Donnelly said, it's an active operation that's gonna last many hours as we continue to work through recovery efforts and rescue operations. This will be ongoing for quite a while. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families and, our communities, and we, appreciate all DC's support to our agency and our federal partners.

I shared new footage of the plane and helicopter crash in Washington, noting it seemed avoidable. Others echoed this sentiment, pointing out the helicopter was off course and flying too high. There were rumors about the pilot's identity, but I found those sources unreliable and likely clickbait. Jo Ellis, a Black Hawk pilot, clarified that she was not involved and condemned the false associations. Tragically, Eaves, a Chief Warrant Officer, died in the crash, and his family is seeking prayers for all affected.

@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.

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.

Cleanup and recovery efforts have entered a second day after a Black Hawk helicopter crashed into an American Airlines flight over the Potomac River. @GioBenitez has details, with an update from the NTSB. https://abcnews.link/zeYGXMK

Video Transcript AI Summary
Gusty winds are hampering recovery efforts in the Potomac River after a tragic collision. An Army Blackhawk helicopter on a training mission collided with an American Airlines flight, killing all 67 on board. The bodies of both Black Hawk pilots have been recovered. The NTSB is investigating, revealing the commercial jet was operating at 325 feet just before the crash. The victims include the airline passengers and crew, as well as the three soldiers aboard the helicopter: Ryan Austin O'Hara, Andrew Lloyd Eaves, and Rebecca Lobach. Air traffic control instructed the jet to land on a shorter runway and alerted the Black Hawk to the plane's approach. The NTSB interviewed the air traffic controller involved. Investigators hope the black boxes reveal critical information about the final moments in both cockpits, specifically if the pilots were aware of the impending collision and if there was any confusion.

Speaker 0: To the latest on the recovery efforts in the Potomac River. Gusty winds are limiting crews from removing the aircraft from those frigid waters. Sixty seven people died after an army Blackhawk helicopter on a training mission collided with an American Airlines flight coming in for landing at Reagan National Airport, 1 of the busiest runways in the country. ABC's transportation correspondent, Gio Benitez, is back on the scene again tonight as we hear from some of the victims' families.

There's no indication the U.S. Army Black Hawk crew could tell there was an impending collision before its devastating crash with an American Airlines plane in Washington, D.C., the NTSB said as the agency continues to investigate the cause. Read more: https://abcnews.link/uBRPMNH

Video Transcript AI Summary
The NTSB examined voice recordings of the Black Hawk helicopter and American Airlines plane collision and suggests the chopper pilots may have had bad information about their altitude. Cockpit computers may have shown two different altitudes; the pilot flying thought they were at 300 feet, while the instructor pilot thought they were at 400 feet. Air traffic control told them to go around the plane, but the Black Hawk crew may not have received the transmission to pass behind. The crash killed all 67 people aboard both aircraft. The NTSB also stated the helicopter pilots were likely wearing night vision goggles throughout the flight, but it is unknown if that impaired their vision. There is no indication the Black Hawk crew could have seen the impending crash.

Speaker 0: Now to new details in that deadly collision between the Black Hawk helicopter and the American Airlines plane. The NTSB has now listened to the voice recordings and says that the chopper pilots may have had bad information. This morning, investigators shedding new light about what may have gone wrong when a Black Hawk helicopter collided with an American Airlines plane last month. Speaker 1: We are looking at the possibility of there may be bad data. Speaker 0: The NTSB saying the helicopter pilots may not have known exactly how high the chopper was flying. Investigators say the cockpit computers may have been showing two different altitudes. Speaker 1: The pilot flying indicated they were at 300 feet. The instructor pilot indicated they were at 400 feet. Neither pilot made a comment discussing an altitude discrepancy. Speaker 0: The NTSB says this instruction from air traffic control one is Georgia. Telling them to go around the plane may not have been heard by the pilots at all because they may have been trying to talk to the tower at the same time. Just seconds later, the collision. Crash. Crash. Crash. This is alert three. Crash. Crash. Crash. This is alert three. Speaker 1: CVR data from the Black Hawk indicated that the portion of the transmission that stated pass behind the may not have been received by the Black Hawk crew. Speaker 0: The crucial black box data coming just over two weeks after the devastating crash, which killed all 67 people aboard the two aircraft, the deadliest in The US in decades. And the NTSB also saying the helicopter pilots were likely wearing night vision goggles throughout the flight. They do not know if that impaired their vision, but there's no indication right now that the Black Hawk crew could have seen the impending crash. So this investigation continues, Janae. Speaker 1: Important updates. Gio, thank you for that.
