Passenger flight from Wichita collides with military helicopter in D.C.
Well, this is awful.
Up to around 70 people were involved between the two aircraft. Last edited by DaFace; Yesterday at 11:02 PM.. |

I live in Wichita and I am booked on that same flight in March. I dont know anyone with certainty that was on the flight but Wichita is a small
Place. Just tragic and hits a little too close to home. |

I'm friends with several air traffic controllers at LAX and Van Nuys.
This? This doesn't happen in the US normally. It's almost always pilot error and in this case I'm thinking chopper pilot Loss of separation alone gets people fired fast and that happens at 1000 feet |

Reading through the ATC transcript, it's almost certainly the helicopter's fault. They said they had a visual on the regional jet and were told to maintain visual separation. Obviously, they didn't.

Awful. Not sure there’s a happy outcome for anyone involved.
