January 30Jan 30 Rumors right now are of 60+ dead or missingGoddamnit. 911 should have permanently shuttered this airport if we're truly concerned with security and safety, but God forbid the political elite may have to drag ass all the way to Dulles.

January 30Jan 30 PAT25 first started tracking NEAR CIA headquarters, unknown if it took off from there. Also unknown if there were any passengers on board, or if it was just the pilots

January 30Jan 30 At least it sounds like they are pulling some survivors out of the Potomac Really. That would be shocking.

January 30Jan 30 Statement from American says they were up the river north on runway 1 circle to 33. That's an easier circle than the river visual 19.

So most likely pilot error due to lack of depth perception via nightvision and failure to re3cognize where they were.
January 30Jan 30 Probably coincidence, but the location where the Black Hawk started tracking from was the home of a Saudi Cultural Attaché.

January 30Jan 30 Fuck. All. Of. This. GODDAMNIT. If you live in DC, We all have status on American. It’s basically a mini hub for American.

January 30Jan 30 Quote Fox News quoted a recording of air traffic control communications at the time of the CRJ-700 airliner-Army H-60 helicopter collision: ATC to the Army H-60: “Do you have the CRJ in sight.” The crash apparently happened directly after.

January 30Jan 30 Because we're serious about both security and safety. You as a real pilot, how does this happen? Me as a private pilot, I pay the fuck attention to choppers because they are superior to a lowly PP in a Cessna. But this whole deal is super odd. How do you hit a RJ on accident?

January 30Jan 30 We'll find out soon enough. Just went to AirNav, that’s a small airport. 1/19 is obviously primary. Cross winds of 25 plus big planes will have issues.
