Ex-Black Hawk helicopter pilot believes three things went wrong in plane collision
Former Black Hawk helicopter pilot Elizabeth McCormick says she believes that three things may have led to the collision between an American Airlines flight and a US Army Black Hawk helicopter over the Potomac River. The jet, flying from Wichita, Kansas, was carrying 64 people and three soldiers were aboard the helicopter. #CNN #News

They were also experienced in flying above restricted height, obviously. That should have been an 'F' right away.
Bot bot paid traitor bot bot paid traitor😅😅
It still does not EXPLAIN why the Blackhawk was flying ABOVE ITS REQUIRED ALTITUDE????
Speculation
Is there a male black hawk pilot who can comment?
Don't they have radar?
No its not the controllers fault that's ridiculous… its 100% the military and chopper pilots fault
Probably on their cellphone
First mistake… a woman… second mistake mixing men and woman in any military operation. Probably having a 3 sum
This was a set up . Each one of those aircraft haves system that sits off warning signals.
More soldiers and civilians die in accidents caused by military infrastrucute, than die in war.
America made itself so safe with its massive military, it is now too big, and is a hazard.
Time to cut the budget, and return the money to society.
They were at the same altitude so how did they not see the plane coming. They never move their heads? They only look straight ahead at all times?
Human Error Will always be the Root cause. A plane is made by man. Man is Not Perfect. Traffic Controllers are Human. Accidents like these will continue Condolences 💐 We must learn and in some cases we will arrive alive.
The pilot of the helicopter was above the flight ceiling of 200 feet plain & simple! With respect Elizabeth nothing you or any 1 else says will change anything, the pilot is at fault. It is utter stupidity to be carrying out military operations in or around any busy airports.
R.I.P. To those that lost their life's. My condolences to their families & true friends.
They never get to her third point.
Suicide, on purpose, Kamikase….
The aircrafts have the altimeter so you can be desoriented about the altitude, no way…
These Pilot's are trainned & operate with extreme fidelity competence, managing verbaly, rotating between night vision & visual. An Accident rare, audio willbe fascinating. G~dBless All touched by this tragedy, prayer's through for their eternal Blessing's.. kdagPlymouthUK. 2025Feb5th1954hrGMT
The pilot was a member of Biden staff and was just getting to flying after serving at the whitehouse
Americans should just boycott CNN they are a left wing propaganda network
Yup, this is one of my doubts. Why did the ATC kept saying CRJ, is the AA 3130 also a CRJ? And how easy is it for pilots to tell a CRJ, Boeing Airbus in mid air at around 8:40 PM near a city?
It’s a BAD arrangement to have another aircraft nearby on path of landing. No excuse.
Military training can train their pilots away from from LANDING PATH of commercial planes.
As always all pilots know, Strong wind can drop a plane down hundreds feet all of a sudden.
Helicopters activity should separate from fix wings planes.
Any Experience pilot could make a mistake.
Is this a black cock pilot or a woman of the street?
Lol female pilot
Trump will NEVER allow the military to take ANY blame for this accident. He is a Nazi supremacist 😡🙏🏴🇬🇧♥️
Doesn’t an alarm sound if the helicopter pilot goes above his flight ceiling? If not, why not? 🙏🏴🇬🇧♥️
HOW DARE this woman disagree with Fuhrer Trump 😮 It is obvious to anyone that a black, transgender, Muslim air traffic controller was to blame 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙏🏴🇬🇧♥️surely a black hawk helicopter has a hight alarm available?? Even my oven has a timer on it 🙄🙄🙄🙏🏴🇬🇧♥️
Think so those pilots in a war ,my God …
Incompetence a lot for helicopter pilot's
One thing went wrong: an army pilot flying vfr with visual separation failed to do so. Its not complicated. Its that simple.
I’m only at minute 1:25 she is saying they didn’t have crew chief to clear the back of the helicopter. Didn’t she run into the plane with the front of the helicopter?
What I fail to understand is why doesn't a military aircraft have sensors up the wazoo? Wouldn't they have sophisticated sensors telling them where planes are around them? IN combat situations, wouldn't they have this type of technology to aid them?
DEI program killed 70 innocent people on aboard
1. ATC should have kept the helo out of the final path of the active runway until the CRJ would have landed.
2. Military pilots should not play in the vicinity of large active airports.
3. civilian professional pilots fly at night with one or two crew. They don't need four of them. But they know what they are doing and how to do it…
DEI with 500 hours. She shouldn't have been flying in at night
The study of forensic science has revolutionized how crimes are solved worldwide. 🔬
USAF helicopters crisscrossing in front of landing aircraft at commercial airport? At night?
Why are helicopters allowed to cross the line up to the runway period? Surely evacuation training routes in busy airspace can be planned without the need to cross an immediate runway approach. Why is that so necessary compared to avoiding the risk of a collision with a CIVILIAN commercial airliner?
I don’t understand why at least within a certain distance of the airport the pilots don’t have the same radar view as the tower and receive the same alerts. Can somebody explain this?
How about the mental states of the pilots?
What does the former pilot mean when she says the ATC should have asked the black hawk pilot can they see the plane at 5 o'clock. At what point was the plane at 5 o'clock relative the the helicopter? The clip that was shown and the flight path would suggest the plane was at their 11 or 10 O'clock and they were flying into a position perpendicular to the plane.
1 thing that went wrong is having a women fly that chopper !
Thank you!!!
why does it just so happen that the pilot was an activist and an aid to Biden. and who puts 28yr old's at night to fly aa helicopter understaffed with 500hr experience
Some killers crave the spotlight, enjoying the media coverage of their crimes. 📺
3 Things went wrong … D E I
WOKE Women , women & women !
Very simple !
Why do they call it BLACK HAWK?
I think the word BLACK is over abused!
Darn!
L’alcool ou la drogue pourrait être aussi responsable
