SHOCKING Details Emerge About DC Helicopter Crash! The pilot of the military Black Hawk helicopter that collided with a passenger airplane over Washington, D.C., in January ignored instructions to change course seconds before the crash, according to a new report. The report, published by the New York Times on Sunday, detailed the Black Hawk's exchanges with air traffic controllers in the lead-up to the disaster, which left 67 people dead. According to the report, the Black Hawk pilot, Capt. Rebecca Lobach, was conducting her annual flight evaluation and her co-pilot, Chief Warrant Officer 2 Andrew Loyd Eaves, was serving as her flight instructor. When air traffic controllers informed the Black Hawk that there was an airliner nearby, Lobach and Eaves acknowledged the message and requested to fly by "visual separation," a common practice that allows aircraft to avoid collisions based on their own observations rather than following instructions from air traffic control. Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss how the Times appeared to bury the lede on the most crtitical aspect of what led to the crash — Lobach’s ignoring air traffic controllers’ instructions on avoiding the passenger plane, as well as a directive from her co-pilot.

Stop calling it a "mistake" or even "pilot error" . The employee that was fired for releasing the best footage from a security camera has my gratitude ...

She flew straight into the jet. Everybody that has seen the video was asking why did it fly straight into the jet. Now it's even worse since she was told to change course and altitude. So why did she fly straight into the jet ?

You never override instructions from your flight instructor. She obviously thought SHE knew better. Her attitude got 70 people killed!!

The Officers that allowed this DEI Failure to fly an helicopter and then tried to cover up the FACT by claiming she was a third soldier NOT the pilot, should face Court Martial.

If a man attempts to correct a modern woman, she will NOT correct herself out of pure DEFIANCE.

This is what happens when you swap merit for ideology. DEI isn’t about fairness, it’s about lowering standards to tick boxes. A male instructor gave clear warnings. She ignored them. Seventy people died. And instead of owning the failure, they hid her name and played word games to protect a narrative.This wasn’t just a tragedy, it was a predictable outcome of putting identity above ability.

She lived an entire life without accountability. This is the result.
