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.

Lord have mercy. How does this happen? I mean, a Helicopter is MUCH more maneuverable than a commercial airliner...this had to be pilot error for the helicopter...

Just awful...

Busiest helicopter traffic I have ever seen. 3 major military bases they fly from: Andrews Joint Air Force, Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling and Ft Belvoir.

Ft Belvoir is the main helicopter training facility. Our first office in Springfield took me by there multiple times a week and I would see as many as 8 helicopters in the air at once in formation.

I also once saw 6 of them all practicing a ground hover at about 3 feet off the ground like they were standing still.

It is a very concentrated area.
I am shocked this hasn't occured before.

I have seen copters nearby takeoffs and landings all the time over my 10.years in the area.

I used to take a water taxi from Alexandria to Georgetown up the Potomac and it would pass Reagan Airport and it was always busy with all types of air traffic.

I used to see a lot of helicopter traffic when I lived in Jacksonville because of the 2 large navy bases there, but they were probably 20-30 miles from the commercial airport. Obviously DC is a different situation with everything that is there. With all that traffic there with different types of aircraft, it’s surprising that something like this hasn’t happened before.

Unfortunately, a lot of the US Skating Team and coaches and family were on the plane. Horrible.

I work right across the river from Reagan National. The Coast Guard is running constant sorties out of National (Jayhawks), you've got blackhawks tooling up and down the river doing god knows what, you've got VIP's flying in State Department helicopters at all hours of the day...But the worst from my experience are these Blackhawks. It's like Vietnam over the Potomac sometimes.

I know it would be expensive, but maybe it's time to begin to shut down commercial flights into Reagan, transition to just government and military air space.

Dulles and Baltimore would need to be expanded, and maybe another airport in either Northern Virgina or Maryland. The metro now goes out directly to Dulles. It couldn't happen all at once, but that traffic around the Potomac is crazy and their is only ONE runway where heavies can land.

This whole ordeal is just incredibly sad and scary. Plane travel is still easily the safest form of transport but when its been so long since we've had an incident in the US this is a sobering reminder that accidents happen.
