A tragic midair collision between a Blackhawk helicopter and an American Airlines jet near Reagan National Airport left 67 people dead — and now shocking details are emerging. Officer Tatum breaks down the New York Times report, which reveals that pilot Rebecca Lobach ignored a critical co-pilot order before the crash. He questions why military protocol was violated to conceal her identity and scrub her social media, and whether this was another example of DEI hiring gone wrong.
This is more than just pilot error — this is about truth, accountability, and dangerous double standards. Buckle up.

Wrong she gay
Sitting on the flight deck, McCain’s plane was struck by a missile accidentally fired from a different aircraft. IIRC...
I had heard reports that the pilot had attempted 2 previous collisions on the same flight.
Third time was a charm.
Guess those reports were accurate.
That is correct.
An F-Phantom I was across from McCain’s A-4 Skyhawk. Several aircraft being launched for a sortie.
As the Phantom was switched from external power (cart) to internal power a Zuni FFR fired and struck IIRC the center external fuel tank on McCain’s A-4 rupturing it. He could hardly be blamed for escaping the ensuing inferno.
The trained fire crew were all killed when a large bomb went off. Several volunteers tried water instead of fire-suppressing foam. Several more detonations occured and the flight deck was ruptured, pouring flaming fuel into a berthing area.
That’s how I recall it from reading several years ago.
McCain was a Deep State operative but he certainly did not instigate the 1967(?) incident.
She was told to change altitude and direction; and yet she persisted …
She was indoctrinated so I can see her with that kind of "attitude".
An F-4 Phantom II
Accidentally typed over or backspace likely
134 sailors and pilots died as a result.
The Forestal was out of commission for five months...
Yes absolutely tragic
And then there’s James Forrestal...
BINGO!
Murder/suicide .....selfish bitch.
Uh huh,
And when The Donald was critical of McLame he was flamed by libs .
Don't need 'field of view' when that jet is a pulsating sun in the darkness. If she didn't 'see' the jet she wasn't scanning. A crewchief without NVGs on a NVG mission is worst than useless.
