[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can help but wonder what would have happened if the ATC had been a tad more explicit in his second communication: "PAT 25 you are on collision course with plane landing at runway 33". I'm not saying he was or should have been required to say this but I wonder if the ATCs at Reagan should NOT have placed so much trust in military helos given all the issues that have apparently been going on forever with near collisions and planes having to abort landing and them flying above 200. Maybe if they were not short staffed, the ATC might have said something more explicit. [/quote] I don't think the helicopter WAS on a collision course with the plane? If you watch videos of the radar screen it looks like two craft are colliding all the time but they're not because they're at different heights. If the helicopter had continued on the path it was on, it sounds like they wouldn't have crashed?[/quote]
