The political pressure is what causes the FAA to make exceptions for things like the helicopter corridor at DCA. This airport should have fewer flights and the same airspace restrictions that all over Class B airports have. This accident was 100% avoidable! All of our elected Senators and Representatives want direct flights to DCA for their own convenience and they bend the safety rules, in my opinion. Yes, I am a licensed pilot and have flown into DCA.

[@EdmundBraly-p9q]

Why do they keep saying amazing qualified pilots when one of them was training???

[@jpdunamislodge]

ATC never told the Blackhawk crew “RJ traffic at your 12 o’clock and 6 miles at 1200’ opposite direction” They only reference the “Wilson Bridge”. The Blackhawk crew obviously did not know where that bridge was. I’m pretty sure that they mistook the departing traffic off 01 as the traffic to go behind which their flight path shows a right turn towards the airport so that they would pass below and behind that departing traffic. Major screw ups on both the controller and the Blackhawk crew. RJ guys were never warned about the Blackhawk traffic. Very bad situation from every perspective.

[@maizie9454]

There was only one atc on duty . trump had just fired the other atc there. and trumps a murderer. what idiot thinks one person is all that is needed at the airport.

[@andreawalli9477]

And you know this to be FACT because....???

[@TheVisualante]

Actually that’s not true at all. They told the chopper west of the bridge and 1200 feet and the chopper not only acknowledged it but also requested visual separation right then and there which means they want tower to release control and allow the chopper to travel with their own visual sight. The tower noticed the chopper was getting close to the plane and still and warned them another two times and again the chopper reiterated visual separation and then the crash happened. This is not the towers fault they did a tremendous job during and after the crash.

@ listen to the recoding again. You’re obviously not a pilot and do not get at all what I just said. I was absolutely correct. Standard ATC traffic call outs gives specific location in relation to the aircraft being warned of traffic, range, altitude, and description of the traffic. THIS DID NOT OCCUR . I’m a retired +23,000 hour 30 year commercial pilot. ATC used “local landmark” AT NIGHT to communicate where the traffic was which the Blackhawk crew obviously did not comprehend. I believe that the Blackhawk crew mistook the departing traffic off if 01 for their traffic to fly behind. The flight track data them making a right turn towards the airport and their flight was behind that departing traffic.
