New details about the fatal helicopter-plane crash near DC’s Reagan Airport reveal the female pilot was repeatedly ignored warnings from her male co-pilot to turn away but she flew right into the passenger jet.
An American Airlines flight carrying approximately 64 souls collided with a Blackhawk helicopter near Washington D.C. Reagan National Airport (DCA) in late January.
All 64 passengers in the jet were killed. The three pilots in the Blackhawk helicopter also died in the explosive crash.

Lobach reportedly had 45 hours of flying experience and served as an aide to Joe Biden.
On Sunday, The New York Times released new details about the fatal crash and it revealed Rebecca Lobach repeatedly ignored warnings from her right seat about altitude.
Lobach’s male co-pilot, an Army flight instructor, directly told her to turn away, and she flew straight into a passenger jet.
“Not only was the Black Hawk flying too high, but in the final seconds before the crash, its pilot failed to heed a directive from her co-pilot, an Army flight instructor, to change course,” The Times reported.
“The Black Hawk was 15 seconds away from crossing paths with the jet. Warrant Officer Eaves then turned his attention to Captain Lobach. He told her he believed that air traffic control wanted them to turn left, toward the east river bank,” The New York Times reported.
“Turning left would have opened up more space between the helicopter and Flight 5342, which was heading for Runway 33 at an altitude of roughly 300 feet,” The Times reported.
And the fatal mistake, as reported by The Times, “She did not turn left.”

Diversity is our strength.
They tried to tell her.
They always know better than us /s
Oh, she did that a long time ago.
Often enough they do, but not if they are DEI-accepted into and passed through college, then hired, then promoted.
A friggin’ disaster—over and over again.
That’s why they did NOT release the name of the pilot for days..because everyone would know she was a DEI hire and DEI hire always ends up with someone being DEAD
This will be buried by the MSM.
He probably took a tone....
DEI = DIE
Could this have been intentional on her part?
Like most liberals she assumed that she was the smartest one in the room.
Don’t tell me how to fly a Blackhawk.
So basically everything those here guessed immediately, was true.
We have an epidemic of women going around paranoid of being “mansplained.”
He was showing toxic masculinity and mansplainng to her, a commissioned officer, how to fly a helicopter. That Warrant was acting like he knew more than she did.
She looks like she’s fresh off a joint
Occam's Razor says "no."
This could be interesting...
I’d wager she was among the many women who think they have to fight against “mansplaining.”
She wasn’t focused on piloting in the least.
