Chilling ‘conspiracy theory’ about Black Hawk helicopter in DC plane crash is TRUE
— snip
Defense sources confirmed the nature of the training exercise to CBS News, after internet sleuths had floated a theory online that it was doing exactly what sources say.
Theorists had flooded social media with claims that the chopper was carrying out an emergency evacuation route for the president as part of a Continuity of Government contingency plan.
The third person onboard, a female co-pilot, has remained anonymous as the Army has refused to identify them at the request of the family.
Military personnel killed in accidents or combat are usually made public 24 hours after their families are notified, making withholding her name very unusual.
Relatives are entitled to do this, it is extremely unusual, with the New York Times branding the decision to withhold the name an ‘extraordinary step’.
Why the co-pilot’s family requested her name be withheld, and why the US Army acquiesced, is unclear.
Earlier on Friday, a transgender woman called Jo Ellis was falsely-named as the woman on board the doomed Black Hawk.
She debunked the claim during an exclusive chat with DailyMail
