they should investigate the pilot of the helicopter maybe need to check the backgroud...

Too much talk about this DC crash, but not much info being given. Tell us what the investigators need, is it the plane's black box?

Blackhawk operator had the maneuverability to avoid this. He had the info in advance to avoid this. My heart goes out to all those who lost someone special to them due to this tragedy. Thanks to the administration for reacting quickly and keeping the public current at a very quick pace compared to the previous one.

The air traffic controller didnt do anything wrong from the ATC recording. Blackhawk requested VFR, VFR was granted and blackhawk advised plane on approach to 33 and to maintain VFR. Blackhawk pilot has confirmed he could see the plane on approach. Responsibility for maintaining clearance from other planes was handed to the blackhawk pilot. This has naff all to do with recruitment of the pilots or ATC. The ATC said to go behind the plane landing on 33, the helicopter went in front of it. They could have stopped and held, or requested ATC for vectors to avoid the landing plane. Didnt expect to hear such discrimatory bull, using a tradgedy to get screen time and take shots at the opposition, while hipocrytically speaking of all been united in this tradgedy. Such a sad event, and my thoughts and sympathies are with the families of those involved
