Link to video (crash is the lights on the bottom). Obviously trigger warning for a mass casualty event. https://x.com/MatthewJshow/status/1884791272369541211
WTF??, Airport's are supposed to be no fly zones unless the operators let you in.
on all cops involved
it wasn't cops, it was a military or government Blackhawk
Oh, so it was the feds
Now that makes me wonder if the dem/chuds are going to blame each other for the accident now
They already are
ah see, it wasn't a whitehawk. the DEI-licoptor is to be blamed.
(in all seriousness tho this sucks and i feel bad for the passengers and their families)
There's rumor that it might have been a VH-60N White Hawk, one of the "Marine One" POTUS transports.
You mean Trump could have been on board? 
Imagine if this is how Elon dies
Dying as he lived, getting others killed
Le Epic Helicopter ride 42069
so the wiki page is showing the call sign as "PAT25" [sourced from a police scanner], which apparently means “priority air transport", and from a 4yo reddit post is "used by all branches carrying VIPs and is usually is followed by the tailnumber"
there's a pdf of call signs that also contains:
PAT US Army Priority Air Transport (Andrews AFB)
so could have been some fed VIP on that helicopter
e: news mega poster is saying it took off from CIA headquarters based on tracking data 
It was a blackhawk. The various fed agencies apparently fly helis up and down the potomac day and night. It's usual. Helo was operating visually, was instructed by the tower to cross behind the aircraft on approach. They reported the aircraft in sight, but obviously whatever they saw was something else.
There have been so many close calls over the past couple of years at American airports, and atc is wildly understaffed. This one is squarely on the helo pilots, but a collision has been bound to happen soon.
Aircraft flying up and down through an active approach path needs to stop immediately. And hopefully something is done to address the staffing issues with atc. This is scary.
The aircraft they flew into had a huge bright light on it, along with some others lights, on the vid I’ve seen. How could they miss all that?
And hopefully something is done to address the staffing issues with atc.
Yeahh we're gonna do some cutbacks, make it more efficient. Leaner. Meaner. Cleaner. Cheaper.
“More efficient” meaning “minimal staff” has been true in business, and presumably government agencies, for years. It’s fucked.
Most likely this is what will happen unfortunately.
That's too optimistic.
Let's get AI in there to help 
imagine how bad things would be now if reagan hadnt broken the atc union!
they flew straight fuckin into it, rip in piss pigs
I have no idea how this happened, but a false-flag "Reichstag fire" incident is not impossible. I guess we'll see who gets blamed for it. Trump admin has many possible targets: immigrants, LGBTQ, Muslims (especially Palestinians).
now they're saying it wasn't a cop helicopter but a military Blackhawk
holy shit dude
there's a bunch of 
accounts in the twitter comments about "DEI hires in the cockpit" so your list sounds about right, add on women and neurodivergent people
What the did these nincompoops blame plane crashes on before the "DEI" boogeyman came along?
Unions
primarily muslims and jews, with an extra dash of 
thrown in for flavor
I recall this German pilot from years back who flew a crowded plane into the side of a mountain in an act of suicide and people began theorizing he'd converted to Islam, lol
Nah, I'm neurodivergeant and I can be trusted to fly our troops around. Just get me high up enough first.
doesn't the FAA explicitly forbid pilots from getting diagnosed with or medicated for stuff? so there's an assload of pilots that are just rawdogging ADHD, OCD, depression, anxiety, and such 24/7
Reading the comments and already saw someone say DEI hahaha... oh god we live in such fucked up times.
I think its going to be more likely a human error (either the cops or air traffic control fucked up)
Yeah there's an airport on one side of the river and a military airbase on the other. That area is absolutely gridlocked with planes and helicopters.
Whether or not any part of it was on purpose, there's no reason to let a good crisis go to waste.
I worry for the air traffic controllers, could see them getting scapegoated for this, especially depending on who the VIPs were on the whitehawk that collided
I think this one could become a big scandal. The overcongestion in DC's airspace has been a big issue for a while with a few close calls over the past year. The army is flying training missions at night in the landing path of an international airport below the altitude that the proximity warning systems halfway-cut out. I've listened to the ATC recordings, with the Blackhawk and jet on different frequencies with the same controller but unable to hear each other. The controller asks the Blackhawk pilot twice to visually confirm the jet and he has no situational awareness.
It has always pissed me off when I see a military aircraft overhead and it doesn't even have its transponder on. They're wildly reckless, weaving in and out of the Rockies and its densely populated urban corridor with crowded airspace around them. Hopefully the fallout from this accident forces strict regulations for them.
Hopefully the fallout from this accident forces strict regulations for them.
incompetence up to and including negligent homicide in my police force?!
You can see on the video that the blackhawk just cuts it front of the jet roughly perpendicular
They need to do one about the time the white house burned down, pronto. Get some use outta that lathe.
