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/

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.

Video Transcript AI Summary
We've recovered the black boxes from the passenger plane and the military helicopter involved in the collision at the Washington airport. The military helicopter was also equipped with some form of recording devices, and those will be read either by DOD or by us. We have agreements to share data on those recorders. The crash killed all 67 people onboard the two aircrafts, making it the deadliest US air disaster in over two decades. The cause remains unclear. Forty bodies have been recovered from the Potomac River. The black box flight recorders from the passenger plane were also recovered and are being examined. Investigators have pledged to release a preliminary report within thirty days.

Speaker 0: Investigators on Thursday recovered the so called black boxes from the passenger plane that collided with the US army helicopter at a Washington airport a day earlier. A preliminary report about the incident is expected within thirty days. National Transportation Safety Board member Tom Inman said the military helicopter was also equipped, quote, with some form of recording devices and those will be read either by DOD or by us, referring to the Department of Defense. He said the agencies have agreements to share data on those recorders. The crash, which killed 67 people and left no survivors, is the deadliest US air disaster in more than two decades. The cause remains unclear. Radio communications showed that air traffic controllers alerted the helicopter about the approaching American Airlines jet and ordered it to change course. Speaker 1: Search teams have recovered 40 bodies from the Potomac River after 67 people were killed in a midair collision between a passenger plane and a US army helicopter. The black box flight recorders from the passenger plane were also recovered and are being examined by experts from the National Transportation Safety Board. Sixty seven people onboard the two aircrafts were killed. It's The US's deadliest aviation disaster in almost twenty five years. Rescue operations were switched to recovery operations. The search has been made difficult by freezing conditions with divers swimming in icy waters. Reports have said that the search was briefly suspended due to the weather. The cause of the collision is unclear. While the investigation could take months, investigators have pledged to release a preliminary report within thirty days. Passengers on the flight included a group of figure skaters, their coaches, and their family members. Their deaths have devastated a local community. The plane was landing Wednesday night at Ronald Reagan National Airport when the collision occurred. Speaker 2: And last year, congress put out this one here is one of the larger one. This is, a more traditional design. The, recorders are key elements of information to help investigators determine what went wrong and how to do better in the future. There's two different recorders on every aircraft. There's one that is a data recorder, and then there's also one that's a voice recorder. So there's one recorder that's recording the sounds and the voices of the pilots, in the cockpit. Then there's no one that's recording all the data sensors and everything that's on the airplane. They're painted in, this bright orange. A lot of them will have this reflective tape so that they reflect light when, like, shined on them. Speaker 0: Did you touch Speaker 2: They're designed to survive the worst of accidents, and that includes, underwater. If the if the aircraft is submerged, that they would, survive, the information would survive even after being underwater. One of the things that we do here at Flight Data Systems is we create a handheld device like this to be able to retrieve information from the recorders. This is a locator beacon. So these are designed such that when they come in contact with water, they begin to emit a sound and a frequency to allow, people who are looking for it to be able to track it down. After an incident or accident, investigators will download the data off of the, the contents of these recorders. And what they do is they use what we call replay software. They literally, almost like a simulation, they replay all of the events, that occurred prior to the accident itself. Okay. Speaker 0: Because yesterday was the same. Speaker 3: Police boats returned to the Potomac River on Friday as part of the recovery and investigation after a midair collision between an American Airlines plane and an army helicopter killed sixty seven people in The United States' deadliest aviation disaster since 02/2001. Both the black boxes from the American Airlines flight and the Black Hawk helicopter have been recovered from the water. Over 40 bodies have been recovered, and on Saturday, more salvage equipment is expected to arrive to help pull more wreckage from the water. Speaker 4: The ATC Group, air traffic control, has been conducting interviews today. They're ongoing tonight. They'll be ongoing for probably the next few days. We've had full cooperation in getting the witnesses that we need to to gain those interviews. We will then take that information and match it with other data that we're receiving, and if necessary, conduct follow-up interviews at a later time. I wanna clarify one thing. There's been a lot of questions and discussion regarding manifest. Let me make this very clear. The NTSB will not and has not released a manifest. We have not in our history, not in our past. We will not be in this accident. In fact, there's specific congressional language that whenever it is in our possession, it is not available through the Freedom of Information Act. It will not be included in our report. We will not be putting any names of any of the victims. Any release of that information will come from other individuals or groups. We recovered from the CRJ two separate recorders. One was a FDFR. That is a flight data recorder. 50. That was actually in what we consider good condition. As part of that process, it was soaked in alcohol overnight. It was then open today, and we have a high level of confidence that we will be able to get a full download in the very near future. I can report to you now we have recovered the Sikorsky black box. It is safely at the NTSB headquarters. It will begin an evaluation just as the other two recorders did last night to determine when and how to take action. I can tell you from a visual inspection, we saw no exterior damage that would indicate that it was compromised at this time. So we have a high level of confidence that we will be able to have a full extraction from that as well. Thank you.

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.
