- 💡 A new New York Times article confirms suspicions that the crash killing 67 people was caused by pilot Rebecca Lobach and may have been intentional.
- 🎯 The helicopter path flew directly at the commercial airliner, which had an approved landing path, indicating the commercial aircraft did nothing wrong.
Pilot Negligence and Disregard for Orders
- ⚠️ Rebecca Lobach was reportedly not training correctly, not flying the helicopter properly, and ignored orders from the radio control tower and her co-pilot.
- 💥 Despite being ordered by her warrant officer to change course, she flew directly into the commercial aircraft 15 seconds later, making no attempt to evade.
- 🚁 Blackhawk helicopter pilots noted that the helicopter's tail did not move, which would be expected if the pilot were trying to evade a collision.
Questions of Competency and DEI
- 🤔 The report raises questions about whether Lobach was a DEI hire and if she should have been in the cockpit, with the implication that she was not qualified.
- ✈️ The helicopter was flying at an altitude it was not legally allowed to fly at, and the mission was an annual evaluation of Captain Lobach, questioning why such training occurred over restricted airspace.
Air Traffic Control and Staffing Issues
- 🚨 The National Airport Tower had a single controller working both helicopter and commercial traffic, a situation described as not ideal.
- ⚠️ While staffing issues may have contributed, the primary fault is placed on the pilot for refusing direct commands to move and avoid the collision.
Potential Motives and Cover-Up
- ❓ The video speculates on potential political motives, questioning if the crash was intended to make the Trump administration look bad.
- 🤫 There is an assertion that Lobach's name was withheld due to her connection with the Biden administration, suggesting a cover-up of her alleged incompetence and actions.
- 💔 The speaker emphasizes the need to identify fault to prevent future tragedies, regardless of whose feelings are hurt, and prays for the families affected.
