Update at the end
Retired Brigadier General Blaine Holt was on Cats and Cosby this afternoon to discuss the DC plane and helicopter collision last Wednesday. His comments were chilling. General Holt said he’d simplify it. The helicopter didn’t flinch as it dove into the plane. The plane did nothing wrong.
Why didn’t they flinch? If they had night goggles, they would be easy to pull down, and the pilots on the helicopter would have seen the plane. The air traffic controller contacted the helicopter.
General Holt wondered if the helicopter pilots were incapacitated in some way. He sees the helicopter as the problem.
A current NTSB report says the jet’s crew may have seen the helicopter one second before impact and attempted to pitch up. It was too late, as stated in the video below.
Charelle Hubbard reported that the jet may have seen the helicopter. “Preliminary findings indicate the jet’s crew may have seen the Black Hawk prior to the collision. They pitched the nose up towards the sky most likely, but it means they saw it just a second before impact. You cannot move out of the way that fast.”

General Holt said something similar on Newsmax on Thursday. He said there have been procedures since 9/11 that should have averted this crash. The accident doesn’t make any sense to him as a pilot. The NTSB might find the pilot of the helicopter more responsible than this pilot does.
“There’s something going on in the helicopter.”

Update
This video points to another possibility. While he believes the pilot made an error, he sees the core problem as the challenging route for that runway. He thinks it is too much to ask of a military helicopter pilot.

Banned Again? What for this Time?
This was death by suicide. The pilot was a transgender; Trump rips into DEI as soon as he wins the election. Why did they scrub his/hers/they Facebook? Because the pilot made disparaging remarks about Trumps DEI policy. Gays and transgender have a much higher risk of suicide and depression. The pilot might have forseen and forcible exit from the military and took it to heart. Look at the path of the helicopter, did not move an inch and just flew it straight into the plan. That is my theory.
It is very suspicious that the 3 crew with a clear view of the plane did not react.
It is also suspicious that the crash happened just after Trump started cutting down agency spending.
We would need all the recordings of communications with the copter to know more.
Who can explain why the helicopter was seen taking off from a Saudi’s home in McLean? AND, that is was caring he PAT call sign, indicating a person of high diplomatic importance on board?? (as reported by Times World News)
