@cbsnews: The crew of the Black Hawk helicopter that collided in midair with an American Airlines jet over Washington D.C. might not have heard instructions from an air traffic controller to pass behind the plane, the NTSB revealed. National Transportation Safety Board Chairwoman Jennifer Homendy said a recording from the helicopter cockpit suggests the crew may have missed the key instruction just before the collision. #ntsb #blackhawk #americanairlines #aviation #crash #news #dc #washingtondc
A helicopter with the most advanced radar systems didn’t see this plane? Really

So keep on a collision course with a plane unless someone else you otherwise?

So without hearing ‘pass behind’ they would just proceed ‘into’ the CRJ? Still doesn’t make sense.

They literally confirmed that they heard it in the tape.

They literally reported the CRJ in sight… it doesn’t take more than common sense to deviate your course from the approaching aircraft on final

I’m no expert here, but if a ginormous plane is in my flight path of the direction I’m going I’m probably gonna try to avoid it even if I didn’t hear the comms

So until you get the go ahead you just fly into it? This doesn’t make sense

We are always being told these helicopters are so advanced and the pilots the best. either that's not true or this is a cover up.

The Blackhawk was still out of its designated air-space and now the Blackhawk stepped on communications while being given to them, knight vision on and no radar turned on, this is not exceptable.

so they couldn't decide on there own to go down or behind so they just ran into it, come on they was 200 feet over 200 max

Having never flown a Blackhawk at night wearing night vision… I feel fully qualified to say something wasn’t right 😳

so, the main communication tool technology and protocols are defeated by accidental 800 millisecond mic keys?

Plus they were at 300-350, instead of at 200 ft where they should have been
