  1.  @JimH420  the trainee is not at the airport. The military base is located right across the river. It was there before the airport was.

  2. The helicopter pilots never saw the plane.

  4. @GilmerJohn  The plane is flying North and turning left over the base to land on runway 33.The River is between the base and Airport. The helicopter never likely saw the aircraft. Or more likely are focusing on the second aircraft taking off.

  6. @EllieWilliams2013  I don't know who you think you are talking to? But, I suggest you try that garbage with someone else.

  8. ​ @stevenolive671 the base has been there for over a century. It sits across the river from national airport.

  9. ​ @Ozymandias11818 helicopters have blind spots. And often during night operations you wear night goggles. That limits your field of vision.

  10. ​ @GilmerJohn they are not flying straight lines. The airliner is in a turn for runway 33.

  11. @TTrojcak  it may be a case they're paying attention to the second aircraft. In the video one is taking off. While the impact aircraft is landing.

  12. @ctfh1236  it was an annual training exercise. They weren't doing anything unusual. The bass just happens to be across the river from the airport. It's just a matter of timing.

  13. @diegojines-us9pc  The Helicopter was going to another base to train. Name release is delayed until next of kin are notified.

  14. @diegojines-us9pc  1. joint Base Anacostia Bolling is across the river from the Airport. The Helicopter is flying along the river to a traing location. 2. They supposed to stay under 200ft. 3. They have night vision goggles on that may restrict field of view. 4. ATC warned them of air traffic. But they may be looking at a 2nd plane.

  15. They are not over the airport. The airport sits across the river from the base. The base has been there for a century.

  16. ​ @Post-Trib there is no hacking. They're flying under visual flight rules to see and avoid other traffic.

  17. ​ @EllieWilliams2013 unrelated event.

  18. ​ @enjoydride1083 that's not accurate at all. The helicopter is under visual flight rules to see and avoid. The helicopter did not pick up The airliner in their field of view. And there's a second aircraft taking off.

  19. ​ @natashasd9003 very poor commentary.

  20. ​ @GilmerJohn the military base sits directly across the river from the airport. They're flying under visual flight rules. The airliner is turning to approach the secondary runway. The helicopter never saw the aircraft.

  23. ​ @RandoRaf the military installation has been there for a century. It sits across the river from the airport.

  24. ​ @Drofthechalice the airport is across the river from the military facility. It has nothing to do with your political garbage.

  26. ​ @Drofthechalice together is relative. For many, it is a United dislike.

  27. ​ @drewopal9283 I think you and the other poster are out of line.

  28. ​ @Timewave-Zer0 please lose the canned answers. It's not relevant here.

  29. ​ @Dixi_Grl the airport sits directly across the river from the military installation. If you want to blame the geography, you'll have to go back 100 years.

  31. @drewopal9283  yearly qualifications for the crew, have nothing to do with the president however.

  32. @lincolndachane1484  it's not likely the transponder was off. Because air traffic control was already talking to them.

  33. @drewopal9283  the base has been there for over a hundred years. Any annual training has nothing to do with the President. They had to do a annual check ride. The base is across the river from the airport. It has nothing to do with politics.

  34. @drewopal9283  trust me, I'm not part of the MAGA cult. But, this is not on him...

  35. @drewopal9283  the commander-in-chief is faulty for blaming anything.

  36. @drewopal9283  not seeing another aircraft in the dark; has nothing to do with diversity. The President is in the wrong.
