Do these crews not have crew members to spot for the pilots? I’ve been a crew member on ch-47’s and there is no way you should be making a turn like that near any aircraft without getting a clearance from your crew. Pilots cannot see everything up front. Sad and avoidable.

[@empiirik]

Why on Earth do they have to fly so close to each other? There's no room for any error and the aftermath is tragic as we can witness.

[@-Invero-]

That's air show or well, the training for it for you. Accidents occasionally happens and most of the time, it's definitely deadly. There's also somewhat recent incident of a P-63 colliding with a B-17 during the real deal.

[@ryerye6587]

Eejit...who are you asking?

[@user-rl3iv2jk9q]

Global humanity should inquire about who the pilots and crew were related to . For example , we're the pilots or ant crew members related to senior government ministers .

[@mikegrazio5376]

Why do people drive with cellphone glued to face barreling down the highway?

[@LaggerSVK]

I am pretty sure there was an error that will be revealed by investigation. Flying in formations for show has many rules and blind spots are known problems.

0:02 The first sighting of the 5 bladed copter with the other chopper seen flying of the starboard side. Both are banking to starboard. 0:05 The second sighting of the 5 bladed copter 1-2 seconds before impact. It appears at first that All the choppers are performing a 'Break' Maneuver, however this is not what is observed, the choppers in the collision are not flying as part of the formation? It seems that they have turned to starboard away from the group. Perhaps this was planned. 0:22 The second clip of the collision shows the 5 bladed chopper at a substantial degree of bank to starboard. He is also pitched up. All of the other choppers look like they are trying to maintain level flight, including the 3 bladed copter that is in the frame, you can see this in the first video also. Someone lost sight of someone else during the maneuver, either way they cannot see each other and are flying in their blind spots. Either the 3 bladed copter climbed out to early and lost visual of the 5 bladed copter believing that it was safely underneath them or the 5 bladed copter was struggling to maintain altitude during the turn because it was trying to match the turn radius of the smaller helicopter. Either way may their souls rest in peace.

Al-Hijrah / 1 May 2024 AD : Global humanity should immediately inquire if any if the pilots and/or crew were related to senior government ministers , or to any of the sultans . However , none of us should blindly trust peninsular malays to honestly inform us . Yet another malaysian aviation disaster . All of them are under suspicious circumstances .

You cant even fly properly in a parade for short distance, then will be no way to fly when the real incidents come such as during the combat. What's the purpose of training?
