I'll preface everything I'm putting on here: This is all preliminary information. The information I have collected might change. In no way am I making any conclusions. JIA5342 is operated by PSA, a regional airline operating under the American Airlines flag. It was a CRJ700 that can hold 71 passengers and crew. It flew from KICT (Wichita KS) to KDCA (Washington DC Reagan). Here is the flight track: Flight Aware The helicopter was PAT 25. That is a helicopter that transports VIPs in the DC area. It is reported that it was on a training flight and carrying 4 people. This is reportedly the Radar that ATC for the incident. I can not verify that: https://x.com/ThatIdahoDude/status/1884906051822297487/video/2 JIA5342 was approaching the airport from the south. They had been cleared for an approach to runway 01. When they talked to the airport tower, they were asked by the tower if they could accept runway 33. After about a minute of silence, JIA5342 accepted the runway change. *A runway change requires the crew to verify landing performance, obstacle clearance and their ability to maintain a stable approach.* *KDCA likes to land on runway 33, when possible, because it effectively doubles the number of aircraft that can approach and depart relative to just using runway 01 for departure.* JIA5342 continued the approach and appears to have flown a stable approach that complied with all normal approach criteria. PAT 25 is reported to have been on a training mission. The tower reported the JIA5342 to PAT25. PAT25 requested to continue while maintaining visual separation. The tower approved that request. *This is a normal request. The helicopter was required to watch the aircraft and stay clear of the aircraft's path.* Moments later, the tower notices that the helicopter is in close proximity to the jet and assigns PAT25 instructions to pass behind the CRJ. PAT25 acknowledges and accepts the instructions. *It is likely that ATC issued the instructions in response to the CA (collision alert) they saw on their radar. The tower does not appear to ever alert the CRJ of the helicopter. This is the audio from the KDCA tower. The incident starts at about 12:00. LIVEATC.COM I know that JIA5342 was equipped with a TCAS (Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System). That system should have alerted the crew in the CRJ of traffic in their area. However, at low altitudes it does not provide separation guidance. It would, however, display the altitude of the helicopter. This is assuming the TCAS system was operational. Airlines do have the ability to operate aircraft without working equipment if they comply with a MEL (Minimum Equipment List). The MEL would have prescribed procedures for operating without the system and a time line for repair. It is not known if the system was operating at the time. I have seen people on X saying this accident is a result of DEI or Trump vacating all the seats at a committee. Neither DEI or some committee would have caused or prevented this accident. Saying either is the cause is speculation for political purposes and almost certainly wrong. Typical investigations into accidents take about two years to complete. Do not expect an answer soon. As a general statement, most accidents are due to pilot or controller error. Human error. I would expect this will be the case with this accident. I will let the investigation make that determination, though.

Really? So Biden didn't do that at all? Nor did Obama? Maybe they didn't do it to this level, but IGs have been replaced before. People have been fired before. Let's get down to why you don't like it and it's not because it is different or new. You don't like it because he's taking away the deep state/beaurocratic left and replacing them with right. His executive branch. His way.

For the history illeterate: Time: Germany would have won World War I had the U.S. Army not intervened in France in 1918. If you'll remember, the reason the Nazi's lost to Russia was because of the stupid insistence to follow the Russians into the Russian winter. How the Russian Winter Froze Hitler’s Nazi Empire in Its Tracks If it wasn't for the US resupplying and reinforcing the British, Germany would have controlled western Europe with no opposition.

Russian sympathist eh? Why do you think Germany spent more time and resources on the fronts with Americans?

And both times, when we got there, the fight ended.

Why are we acting like this is new info?

WW1, WW2, Trump first and second term. Your welcome

No. Whataboutism is excusing your side's behavior by citing the other side's behavior. This is saying we are doing this because of the other side's behavior.

Awww...you poor thing. Did the whataboutism bug get you? Why would we keep these people? The Biden admin applied banana republic tactics to our legal system, tried to bypass the Republican primary process, did bypass the Democratic primary process, tried to subvert the national vote by removing Trump from the ballot in several states, forced social media companies to censor speech, jailed parents and labeled them domestic terrorists for objecting at school board meetings to boys in girls restroom and locker rooms, arrested protestors and gave them extensive jail time if they were perceived to be conservative while ignoring left wing attacks that burned down businesses, public buildings and more and so much more. If anyone participated in any of that, they are gone.

You lied...again

Trump to sign Laken Riley Act, setting up next phase of immigration crackdown 2016 EO made into law effective.....now. No more liberal bullshit. No more sanctuary cities. If they are not here legally and they break they law THEY MUST BE DETAINED FOR ICE. No wiggle room.

Killing 6 million or more people because of their religion is not sane. /endthread

You made serious threats about killing CEOs. They absolutely should come talk to you.

Here, you need this.

It doesn't matter what it is called, there will always be some form of tax collector.

Awww...poor thing. Do you need an emotional support pickle?

Because, to him, it is the truth because he wants it to be true.

Or....fire and replace employees that don't follow instructions because they don't like you.

⬆️ Russian propganda. ⬆️

Um....funny but true.

People = Policy There is no point in keeping lwnjs that will not follow Trump's policy decisions.

Hmmm....so how did we get all these people with mentla health issues?

We will always have an IRS. But if we had a flat rate tax or narional sales tax, the irs would be far simpler.

Reality: So he isn't banned from the White House. That's a lie. He just doesn't have an office there.

Organized censorship and propaganda on the NGO level.
