NEW DETAILS: NTSB gives updates on deadly plane crash investigation

Rescue crews returned to the Potomac River on Friday as they continued searching for victims of Wednesday night’s deadly midair collision between an American Airlines flight and a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter.
Officials said the operation is fully focused on recovery, with no survivors expected. All black boxes have been recovered, according to the NTSB. Officials said that based on the information they have gathered, they have not made any conclusion about the cause of the crash.
"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," said National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) Board Member Todd Inman during a Friday evening news conference.

A lot of shallow mean spirited comments…shows how some people are unable to have compassion for others.

I've worked on the CRJ serie. I designed many avionic systems (electronics systems) on that aircraft. Each time one goes down, I ask myself if I could have done something better. It's a terrible tragedy. My condolences to the families of the victims, military and passengers.

[@nix9650]

Who needs to hear they're world experts on water intrusion in recorders. Insane that helicopter traffic is allowed in an airspace that should be cleared for a plane needing to make a last turn seconds before touchdown during night-time, to land on 33.

[@deancoffer6827]

Thank you for sharing your professional experience and information with us. I have never visited your channel before, but I was looking to receive some insight from an industry expert/professional. The D.C. crash was truly sad and heartbreaking. I could sense your heart-felt emotions. May we learn important lessons so that so many precious lives won't be wasted in vain. I'm a subscriber to your channel now. Great information and delivery. Thanks.

[@ttugrlduck]

They need a better person to deliver this information

[@ttugrlduck]

@ads6-1.0 lol no. Now if you want information in the field I'm an expert on that's different... This guy may be good at other parts of his job, but holding press conferences is not a strength. He is too technical. He awkwardly requests affirmations from the guy on stage who clearly isn't prepared and acts solely as a yes man. He thanked everyone on the planet first as if it was most important. He doesn't have the temperament to handle a press room. They need someone confident, clear and concise.

[@garybeck-t3v]

This clown just likes to talk. NOTHING he said is any useful information. Clear out these useless people.

[@dalemullins4562]

That's all well and good that the n t s b investigates so that they can make recommendations, but it takes years for them to do that. In the meantime, it could still happen. It shouldn't take years.

[@keep-ukraine-free]

Todd Inman is highly experienced, shows empathy for families and victims, and shows a level of technical sophistication and nuance required for such a challenging and charged investigation. The NTSB's final report, which we can expect in 10-20 months, will identify corrections to the many causes of this accident.

I don't understand why you high dollar news program can't get a flight simulator set-up so people can see what the helicopter pilots saw. Several people are saying why didn't the pilots in the helicopter see that plane? Yes, WHY

[@zuluthegray]

This guy demonstrates extremely bad taste by starting with a lot of time to thank and praise one another. When people die in a tragedy like this, you don’t use a public disclosure as an opportunity to pat one another on the back. No class whatsoever. Distasteful. Revolting.

[@SurnaturalM]

It's important to acknowledge the work of his colleagues and the journalist who make the informations available. Those aren't sponsorship, they are the people who make it possible to understand what happened. I find it "revolting" you don't know that, assuming you're an adult.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 14, 2024 - Sikorsky, a Lockheed Martin company, has received a $6 million award from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to install the company's ALIAS/MATRIX™ flight autonomy system onto the U.S. Army's experimental fly-by-wire UH-60M Black Hawk® helicopter.Oct 14, 2024L

[@RON-nw9si]

Watching from afar. Terrible tragedy. However, is it not insane that military helicopters are allowed to weave in and out of the air corridors commercial passenger planes? It's like allowing private cars on a racing circuit while the F1 race is on. Either the base is moved or they build a new airport somewhere else.

[@TheReelz]

Why does it take days to interview one controller and assess the data you have thousands of people from 15 different agencies.

[@keep-ukraine-free]

Are you the typical "internet researcher" who believes (assumes) you can figure out anything through google searches? No. Investigations are complicated, and require EXPERTISE. (But clearly, you don't even understand why).

How can water get into the box? It's 300% moisture proof. The guy is being shady

[@roybragg4734]

No case is ever 100% waterproof. If it can be opened, it can allow water in. No technology exists to make it 100% waterproof and still perform its function.

[@michaelhex]

Have you ever been anywhere near a high speed high energy crash ?, no you havent otherwise you would not have made such a stupid statement. Especially 300% !!!!! nonsensical.

[@Cartilog-z4f]

Perhaps things get broken when they slam into the ground at the speed of a jet aircraft.

[@Langward09]

@ They must withstand impact with concrete at 750 km/h, pressure of 2.25 tons for five minutes, temperatures of up to 1100 degrees Celsius for an hour, and even remain intact and sealed at depths of up to 6000 meters underwater.

[@michaelhex]

@Langward09 that is all static pressures. If you hadn't noticed they hit the water at 150mph that causes a lot of dynamic pressures and forces that can't be simulated. Same reason why watches that say water resistant to 100m don't always keep water out when subjected to breaking waves. Dynamic pressures aren't even over the surface they twist and distort in a chaotic way.

[@dutchpilotguy]

It’s challenging to reconcile the claim of the safest form of travel, against 100,000 NTSB reports, to say nothing of the “proto accidents” that have led up to this truly preventable event. Based on the definition of a “system accident”, the level of predictably precludes this event from being an accident - it was purely a predictable surprise. If we are going to quote James Reason’s Swiss Cheese Model, we need to accept what those holes in the cheese represent, and I submit to you that normalization of deviance and a fundamental shortcoming in the deconflcition practices will appear as all too reasonable to have identified and patched up months - nay, YEARS ago. To that end, it’s comforting to call this an accident. But, just as Challenger and Columbia were organizationally-based, so, too, will this tragedy.

[@Diesel.Trucker67]

Outside looking in, but I bet if they listen to the helicopter voice recorder and look at the flight details that it'll clear everything up.

[@PurpleRasta305]

This wasnt an accident, it was a deliberate act of terrorism from within our own military

[@PurpleRasta305]

The sad part about it is when thwy do listen to the helo cockpit recordings they will do whatever they can to cover up the true story and come up with a new one to not make the US military look bad. Because based on all The pieces theres a very dark picture forming here

[@PurpleRasta305]

Keep in mind the family of the woman who was apparently the co pilot of the Blackhawk requested that her identity not be revealed, makes u wonder why🤔🤔 the other 2 crew onboard the blackhawk have been identified because i dont believe they were in on this. We will have to wait and see how long it takes for the woman on that helo to be revealed

[@PurpleRasta305]

Saying this was “just an accident” or “human error” is becoming less and less plausible . It just doesnt make sense

[@PurpleRasta305]

They arent gonna tell the full truth about this incident. There will be a coverup once they put the pieces together and see the full picture
