Can't remember if this one has been posted before, but it's worth seeing again either way.

"Oh, no."

it's hard to tell what with the quality of reporting nowadays, but I get the impression it might very well have been her. It's very hard to understand how this had to happen when it could have been prevented by simply staying within the given acceptable altitude, particularly when intersecting flight paths.

ETA...I have gotten pretty disgusted that an already overloaded air space around DC was made more crowded and dangerous by self-serving politicians who insisted on even more traffic just to make it more convenient for them to travel back and forth from their homes.

I am OK with DCA since it is convenient when I go to DC for work.

Reality is the helos need go stay the hell out of commercial airliner traffic and go fly some other pattern around DC. This BS should have never happened if not for the helo violating the 200 feet AGL rule.

Take over Gaza Not sure what I think about the feasibility of taking over Gaza. The arabs don't want the Palestinian troublemakers, maybe dump them in Mexico. 50% tariffs unless you take these terrorists....

what I read was that in spite of an already overly congested airspace around DC, Congressmen from all over contrived to have direct flights to their home areas added. It sickens me to see our representatives get elected to serve us but instead help themselves, particularly when that takes precedence over public safety.
