[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The ATC did everything right.  How about some concern for those doing a highly stressful job?  Yes, there are staffing shortages that everyone on this board should be concerned about.  We take it for granted that flights take off and land safely every day ("safer than driving on the beltway") but do we really stop to consider how that happens and the people in the tower who make that happen?  We'd all benefit from more ATCs who are well supported, materially and emotionally.  I'd like to know why a training flight had to happen at night in that particular airspace.  [/quote]

Plus we don’t know if she’s saying that 2 seconds to impact or 1 or 2 minutes lead time. 
Big difference.

For whatever reason, the helicopter cut to the west side of the river whilst adjacent DCA. 
The ATCs aren't magic.  They can repeatedly tell a helicopter to avoid collision but they can't actually change how they're flying.  You also know the ATC who was talking to the helicopter A) is dealing with a mandatory investigation B) is likely devastated by what happened and C) is going to face blame from the media even if totally cleared and could potentially face harassment.[/quote][/quote]
