Three students from Fairfax County Public Schools who had been returning from a figure-skating camp in Kansas were killed in the crash, along with six parents, according to Dr. Michelle C. Reid, the Virginia school system’s superintendent.
Jack Healy Jan. 30, 2025, 6:55 p.m. ET Jack Healy “It’s devastating,” Dr. Reid said in an interview. “There was a searing grief on behalf of our staff, our students, our families.” She said the district had brought in grief-counseling teams. |

Both American Airlines pilots were longtime fliers, relatives and friends say.
https://www.nytimes.com/live/2025/01/29/us/plane-crash-washington-dc The captain of the plane that plunged into the Potomac River on Wednesday night had wanted to become a pilot from the time he was 3 years old, said his aunt, Beverly Lane. “I think he wanted to be free, and be able to fly and soar like a bird,” Ms. Lane said. |

These helicopters are scary.
Several near misses with helicopters were previously reported at Reagan National Airport https://www.cnn.com/us/live-news/plane-crash-dca-potomac-washington-dc-01-29-25?t=1738282280051 From CNN's Casey Tolan, Majlie de Puy Kamp, Curt Devine and Haley Britzky In the three years before the deadly collision between an Army helicopter and an American Airlines flight near Reagan National Airport, at least two other pilots reported near-misses with helicopters while landing at the airport, a CNN review of federal incident reports found. On two occasions, passenger planes had to take evasive action to avoid colliding with a helicopter when trying to land at the airport, according to reports filed by pilots. In a third incident, two military helicopters got too close together, an air traffic controller reported. Those previous scares are sure to gain more attention after the disaster over the Potomac River on Wednesday night, which is presumed to have killed 64 people aboard the plane and three Army servicemembers on a helicopter training flight. |

I didn’t see anyone saying that. They noted the address was a Saudi residence (not an embassy, which is in DC in a no-fly zone on New Hampshire Avenue) and the aviation folks on the Reddit board said it was probably due to what you mentioned. Still doesn’t explain why a so-called training mission is going to or from Langley. Some think a VIP was on board at one point—maybe before it became a training mission. |

The Saudi compound in McLean does not have a helipad. |

Probably true, but what are the chances it would be the Saudi Embassy. This is how conspiracy stories thrive. What the F are the chances...... Also, why is the Saudi Embassy so close to the CIA? |

I didn’t see anyone saying Saudis were given a ride. Someone above just freaked out over fake conspiracy theories that no one was talking about… |

| Sully, the pilot who landed on the Hudson in New York was excellent on CNN tonight. When asked if he thought DEI had anything to do with those he paused and emphatically said no. But what was really impressive was his explanation of what needs to change in the industry. Buckle up folks it’s gonna be a good 9 to 12 months until we get a final report. |

Yep! And I do not believe someone with just 500 hours of training would be flying close to CIA HQ for training purposes. |
