WASHINGTON
Air traffic control audio recorded the moments before and after an American Airlines regional passenger jet crashed with a US army Black Hawk helicopter in a mid-air collision over Washington last night.

Audio from LiveATC.net, a respected source for in-flight recording, captured the final communications between the three crew members of the helicopter – call sign PAT25 – before it collided with the CRJ700 Bombardier jet carrying 64 passengers and crew.

“PAT25, do you have a CRJ in sight? PAT25, pass behind the CRJ,” an air traffic controller said at 8.47pm yesterday.

Seconds later, another aircraft called in to air traffic control, saying, “Tower, did you see that?” – apparently referring to the crash.

An air traffic controller then redirected planes heading to runway 33 at Reagan Washington National Airport to go around.

The explosion in mid-air occurred over the frigid Potomac River near the airport.

“Crash, crash, crash, this is an Alert 3,” one of the air traffic controllers can be heard saying in the audio from around the time of the crash.

“I don’t know if you caught earlier what happened, but there was a collision on the approach into 33. We’re going to be shutting down operations for the indefinite future,” another controller remarked.

“Both the helicopter and the plane crashed in the river,” a third air traffic controller can be heard saying.

“It was probably out in the middle of the river,” the controller said.

“I just saw a fireball and then it was just gone. I haven’t seen anything since they hit the river. But it was a CRJ and a helicopter that hit.”

The crash was caught on a webcam at the John F Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington.

The clip shows the aircraft exploding in flames and plummeting to earth after it was struck by the helicopter.

A US official said no senior military officials were on the helicopter, while US Figure Skating said several skaters had been on board the American Airlines flight.

    Blackhawks have all the following:

    1. Terrain Awareness and Warning Systems (TAWS) – Some military helicopters, including Black Hawks, can be equipped with TAWS, which helps pilots avoid flying into terrain, particularly in low visibility conditions.
    2. Enhanced Vision Systems (EVS) – This is an infrared or other imaging technology that helps improve the pilot’s vision during night flights or in poor visibility, which can help in avoiding obstacles.
    3. Obstacle Detection and Warning Systems (ODWS) – These can help detect and warn of obstacles in the helicopter’s flight path, especially in hover or low-altitude situations.
    4. Radar – Some variants of the Black Hawk are equipped with radar systems that can help with navigation and obstacle detection, although these are typically for weather avoidance and navigation rather than anti-collision.

    This was either an accident, or the plane was the target, and the helicopter was the weapon.

    We need to know who was on the plane. And hopefully it wasn't anybody about to testify in important matters, etc.

    Plane was on predictable track, and assigned to a runway rarely used (per ABC news report tonight). Helicopter flew irregular path, then rose to meet altitude of plane AND changed direction to intercept in last few seconds of flight.

    Maximum allowed height for the helicopter was 200 feet, which is where it was up until 37 seconds before impact. Surging from 200 feet to 350 just seconds before impact is a deliberate maneuver and takes considerable power to climb.

    Look what I just stumbled into:

    Lockheed Martin demonstrated this remote Blackhawk technology...IN WASHINGTON DC...Mere months ago.

    2 weeks before the 2024 election.

    You do know DARPA Created fully autonomous Blackhawk in 2022 right.

    Interesting to say the least.

    Now ask yourself where did this helicopter takeoff from? And why was it flying in blackout conditions near a major air terminal?

    ?????????
    Just saying.

    Who is a good boy? Dog saves US figure skater from DC plane crash

    My dog was too large for the carrier, even though this was our return flight, so we decided to drive instead, Jon Maravilla told Sputnik.

    There were at least 14 figure skaters on board the crashed plane.

    Interesting find from @realTrevorLe

    It’s an odd coincidence that exactly a week ago DC Fire and EMS were practicing for water rescue in the icy Potomac where at this moment 60+ people and 2 aircraft reside.

  4. There's a suspicion that this story is baiting the pharma industry and/or the bio-weapon background of the ghouls for who knows how many years were in the mind and development...

    A very important body double has been killed by black hats using a remote military helicopter.
