Hope everyone is ok. I remember a couple weeks ago the Gonzaga men's basketball team plane almost collided with another plane on takeoff. It didnt happened so that story in the past due to nothing actually happening.

Welp, that looks like this is a mass casualty event. But guess will wait for the news to confirm/deny if casualties happened.

An air traffic controller with less than 8 days of experience surely would have prevented this.

You think a hiring freeze means something like this is less likely to happen again?

Wikipedia articles for air crashes usually get updated quickly, so herell probably be a good place to find out updates.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_Potomac_River_mid-air_collision

Actual plane in question, from 2022:

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/d/dd5bb3bf.jpg

Apparently can seat up to 78 people, so potentially horrific news, even more so depending how many were aboard the Black Hawk.

Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less.

Had this same crash occurred a month ago, DEI would be trending on every social media platform.

So no.

Apparently 60 passengers plus 3 or 4 crew.

Helicopter capacity is 15 to 17.

Is Regan the one with the really narrow takeoff?

Like planes can't turn much or they violate White House/Congress airspace?

Regardless, I hope everyone is rescued.

Yea. My brother in law is a traffic controller and he's been pretty depressed and spread thin at work for a while now. He's also concerned things will only get worse.

Per CNN: A law enforcement source says there are confirmed fatalities and that rescuers have not yet pulled any survivors from the water. The rescue efforts continue.

That water temparature is low 30s and any survivors would have been in there for almost 3 hours now.

NTSB will review it ASAP ( if Trump hasn't eliminated it already). First major passenger plane crash ( total loss) in over 10 years I think.

https://youtu.be/Hr08v6_fRE0?si=vQMRT4dll8BJEXAX

Video for those who haven't seen. You can mute. Either the plane wasn't where it was supposed to be or the helicopter. I'm sure the atc convo will be posted on YT soon.
