Looks to me like the copter headed right to the plane. Hope it wasn’t intentional.

[@davecrupel2817]

I very much doubt it was intentional. :(

Well yes, the helicopter flew toward the plane. That's how these things collide

[@tylerwhite4743]

[@TheMonolake]

What

[@newagain9964]

Very intentional

[@MannyL-g3m]

WTH was a helicopter doing in the final approach path of that jet!???

[@teebob21]

Check the charts. There is a helicopter flight route that runs right down the center of the Potomac and the river runs right past the ends of the runways.

[@EvilSkeltos]

This is horrible, I heard 4 people have been recovered from the river thankfully. I just don't understand why so many military helicopter aviation accidents keep occurring at high frequencies. Something needs to curb this trend even if it's limitations on the traffic of these maneuvers to minimal flights until there's a clear determination of what is causing these tragedies. It's clearly unacceptable and seems to be beyond accidentall wavering towards negligent or reckless levels.

[@tacsmith]

Not to make light of it but this was predicted a couple years ago when the FAA reported there would be a shortage of compentent ATC's. Sad.

@@vicm6561 DEI has nothing to do with it. ATC is a hellish job with incredible requirements, they were bound to run out of applicants sooner rather than later. Like, I'm literally too old to be hired, and I'm in my mid-30s. Maybe actually think before you speak every so often

[@miteco1]

Seriously you are right. All the statiins keep calling it "small." Its an airliner. Airliners are not "small" planes. A 4 sest Cessana is small. A business jet even a G-6 is small. A regional jet is Not small.

[@DNHarris]

They are journalists. They get paid to read, not think. Everything from a Cessna 150 2 passenger airplane to a Boeing 737 is a small plane. LOL.

[@johndough82]

In terms of a commercial/passenger jet, it is actually small.

[@Stevelee1983]

A 777 is a big aircraft so yes it is small
