@LaReed973 @Turbinetraveler it wasn't a big plane, and 2 i think it was human error with the pilot, i bet the pilot for the helo mistook the united airlines plane for the visual separation and didn't see the smaller plane which is the plane that they unfortunately collied with.

@Turbinetraveler The helicopter turned right into the path of the plane! Given the fact that helos are so much more maneuverable than a big passenger plane, this should never have happened! So close that the Army pilot should have had visual, so Air Traffic Control must have screwed up badly!

🚨 NEW: ATC Radar Playback Reveals Critical Moments Before Midair Collision at DCA 🚨
Exclusive Air Traffic Control radar playback shows the moments leading up to the tragic PSA Airlines Flight 5342 and Sikorsky H-60 helicopter collision over Reagan National Airport.
The radar data includes "Collision Alert" (CA) warnings, a system designed to draw controllers' attention—not an imminent collision warning. Despite this, the two aircraft tragically made contact, leading to a mass casualty event over the Potomac River.
FAA & NTSB are investigating. Updates as they come.
