Plane collides with Blackhawk helicopter Washington DC

I see Trump is already playing politics about this tragedy and blaming DEI.

How sad is that?

He may be referring to the fact that the co-pilot was a transgender woman, I think they call them, when it is a guy transitioning to a 'girl' :



Edit to say that the main pilot, the crew chief O'Hara, also only had 1000 hours of flight time.   The co-pilot Ellis only had 500 hours.

just dropped the most detailed breakdown yet of last night’s tragic mid-air collision in Washington, DC. He dissects the crash second by second, bringing expert insight as a pilot himself. His analysis makes it clear: this was NOT the fault of air traffic control or the passenger jet’s pilot. The Blackhawk helicopter acknowledged visual contact with the aircraft TWICE and took responsibility for safe navigation—yet still failed to avoid the collision.
