Did you hear any of this briefing by NTSB that just finished 3:30 PST? I’ve never heard such mumbojumbo. Both of these two geniuses should be fired on the spot. Apparently they haven’t seen their own videos of the crash? They claim the jet was at 325 ft AGL while the chopper, according to the tower, was at 200 ft. so they couldn’t have hit each other. Bbbbuuuuttt they did. They say they’ll need more data to figger out why they hit?
And why the bleep did geniusboy think it was necessary to explain how tall the jet was?
Yesterday evening somebody released another piece of video taken right down runway 33 looking straight at the incoming jet. The video clearly shows the chopper flying straight and level coming at the starboard side of the jet. No jinks, no turns, no rise or drop——just straight in, then boom.
Everybody in that tower at the time should have been isolated, from each other, and everybody else, until they could have been thoroughly interviewed. And these two geniuses had no bizness running a briefing until they had complete data. The fat guy kills time by repeating each question. Then he tried to explain why everybody in the pattern was on a different radio frequency. This whole Reagan related operation is so halfassed one should have a good luck charm and a cross just to get close to it.
I hope Trump holds up while he takes on this clean-up.
yes I saw and I was doing the same thing ... 325-200 = 125 feet between the helicopter trek and the plane. Then, all of a sudden, at the last moments, the helicopter went to 300+ feet and then flew right into the plane ... but, but, but, Jon Scott (whom I otherwise like) says, yes, but we don’t know how tall the helicopter was! was it 20’? it doesn’t really matter, it wasn’t 125’ tall lol
Yikes, brings back memories of the TWA 800 days. I began to feel sorry for James Kallstrom. I’m pretty sure he grew to hate that gig.
And the fat guy whined about how awful it was to talk to the families. He was tremulous and petulant at the same time.
What a weak display.
Can you find a link to that video?
