[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Biden and their administration signed off on the added flights a year ago. Again the blame game doesn't work. This is a tragedy some changes will need to happen like making sure helos and airplanes are on the same frequency , this could have happened with a police or even news chopper.[/quote]

The number of flights wasn't the issue here. Helicopter routes shouldn't be so close to the runway approach. Especially at night.[/quote]
Why was the helicopter so close to the plane[/quote]

It didn’t see it approaching.  There were a couple other close by planes they were visualizing and when ATC asked them if they say it, it wasn’t clear which plane they were referring to [/quote]

how do you know this? why wouldn't it be looking/seeing the plane that was directly in front of them?[/quote]

Unlike jets, helicopters can fly straight up and down.  While I don’t know, it is my thought that since the helicopter thought ATC was talking about another plane, it was visualizing that one.  The plane they hit was not in their forward or peripheral visual field, rather it was directly above or below the helicopter and they ended up flying directly down or up into it. [/quote]

but is that what happened? Or am I totally misunderstanding the video? It looks like the plane hit was directly in their forward visual field. What are you seeing that I am missing?[/quote]
