[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Someone posted a video simulation on Reddit of what the sky might have looked like for the helicopter pilots. They probably didn’t see the airplane until they were right in front it. I do believe they were looking at the departing flight to the right when they should have been looking for the descending plane on the  left. It seems like the ATC should have been more specific about the location of the plane. [/quote]

The sky was not an issue - they confirmed they could see other planes so it wasn’t an issue of weather/fog/clarity etc..

The planes wings had flashing anti collision lights that can be seen several miles away.

Planes aren’t sitting in the sky in stealth mode with the lights out.[/quote]

No, you don’t know this is true for this situation.

You can literally see light illuminating from the plane on multiple angles of surveillance camera footage

So I guess they saw the lights and just killed a bunch of people and themselves for funsies. That makes more sense. [/quote]

Wouldn’t be the first time [/quote]
