Evidence suggests the helicopter pilot misunderstood the air traffic control instructions about which plane to be watching and go behind. Appreciate all the analysis from pilots since last night’s tragic plane crash.

DEI kills! That is why Trump is exterminating it from America! Tragic loss of lives for no damn reason!

Just horrible

How does a helicopter pilot misunderstand instructions that badly? That is unacceptable!

Something tells me after an 18 month investigation, the NTSB will determine the same thing. Terrible tragedy. Thinking of all those lost souls and their families.

Yup. ACT should've been more clear and assertive. The helicopter pilots were looking for traffic to RWY1, not RWY 33 The DCA controller will be protected though and the blame will be placed on the pilots

This seems to be what happened

I’ve never seen anything like this situation going on in Washington D.C. right now in the Potomac. Something just doesn’t seam right to me. A military aircraft..?! Such a horrific situation. God be with them 🙏

Who was the pilot? All I’ve heard is a female pilot?

That is one stupid AF system if so. Just wait for dat plane to go by then U good! Gee what can go wrong.

With a reported 500 hours of flight, this makes total sense. Still learning. Pilots say 1500 hours is required to be a commercial pilot for instance.
