Plane collides with Blackhawk helicopter Washington DC

[Zaphod58]

With all the names of the PAT25 crew now released, I haven’t been able to find any glaring red flags about the crew yet…

But again:

Strike1
ATC precisely pinpointed the location of the CRJ just south of the Woodrow bridge, and told PAT25 of its exact approach path to runway 33. Visual approved.

Strike2
PAT25 ignored this warning, spent the next minute flying almost directly at the CRJ, crossing its path and blind siding it just as it turned toward runway 33.

Strike3
PAT25 location flying about 100 feet higher than the approved 200 ft altitude for the busy DCA airport.

Strike 1- You have never flown before and have zero idea what happens in a cockpit or what they saw.

Strike 2- You have no idea what happens in a cockpit or what the crew did or didn't do, but seem to think you do.

Strike 3- You have zero understanding of mechanical issues or equipment not reading correctly and have no idea what you don't know.
