Why was the plane changed from runway 1 to runway 33? Into the path of the helicopter. Yes it should have been below the plane at a different altitude, but WHY was the plane diverted?
WHY was the plane diverted to a more dangerous approach??
“We have so much helicopter traffic operating along the east side of the river that it makes approaching runway 33 from the south dangerous because now fixed-wing aircraft are going to mix with helicopters within very close proximity,” Katz said. “And I think that makes this runway now no longer useful. It makes it obsolete. And I believe that given the magnitude of the tragedy here that eventually this runway will be decommissioned."
Me too! It was my very first question: why diverted to 33? You are right, no one in the press or commentators has even asked the question that I have seen.
It was obviously more dangerous since the plane was already lined up for runway 1. Then they had to make turns, at the exact same time for the helicopter to meet up with it.
Of course the helicopter pilot was at the wrong altitude, but common sense tells one that it was a more dangerous approach . . .
Why President Trump believes it could be terrorism, and why the helo went straight at the plane, for an extended period of time. The Blackhawk can bank on a dime, avoid other aircraft in seconds. Trans Cell must be designated a Terrorist organization.
Air traffic control's communications with Black Hawk crew
A recording released by LiveATC.net of the communications between Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport air traffic control and the Black Hawk helicopter indicates the military flight crew was aware of the American Airlines plane's approach before the crash.
ATC is heard in the recording asking the crew of the helicopter, which the controller referred to as "PAT 25," if the plane was visible.
"PAT 25, do you have CRJ in sight?" ATC said, using the initials for the make of the American Airlines aircraft, a Bombardier CRJ700.
Two seconds later, ATC provided instructions to the helicopter crew, saying, "PAT 25, pass behind the CRJ." Three seconds later, the controller provides further instructions to the helicopter crew, saying, "PAT 25 has aircraft in sight – maintain visual separation."

When pressed by reporters for details about the communications between ATC and the helicopter, Duffy said, "I would say the helicopter was aware there was a plane in the area."
Duffy said it remains under investigation why the helicopter continued to fly into the path of the passenger plane.
Hegseth told "Fox & Friends" on Friday that they will be looking at whether the helicopter was flying at the right altitude and if it was on course. They are also looking into the communications between the helicopter and air traffic control.
The airport tower had combined two controller positions into one position prior to the crash, according to a source with direct knowledge.
When aircraft volume goes down, a supervisor can decide to combine two controller positions into one position. This happens routinely, though on Wednesday at Reagan Airport, it happened 40 minutes earlier than it normally does because the supervisor determined that the traffic was low enough to combine, according to the source.
This position handles local arrivals into Reagan and helicopter traffic when it's combined.
No it's not hard to understand, sir.
It is as clear as day that it was intentional.
Can you tell us why though, that's what we don't know.
I made this comment yesterday but no one would listen…
You are somebody I always take notice of.
Thank you. I try my best.
What? Who said that?
(J/k)

We listened blacksmith...Respect.
“Who” could have possibly wanted to do such a thing?

Better video of the crash.

That video makes it look like the helicopter didn't see the airliner at all.

It has never been said as to why. I am still trying to find out.
In one of the articles about it, they said that it will have to be decommissioned because of so much helicopter activity.
Me too! It was my very first question: why diverted to 33? You are right, no one in the press or commentators has even asked the question that I have seen.

Runway 33 you say?
And there was someone named “Epstein” and a figure skating team on the flight?

And we were just told to "watch the water" [but I don't believe the white hats did this or allowed it].
And Tanya Harding started posting just the day before.
How high was it? There was a guy on my news feed trying to say it was at the 200 foot limit but that did not seem accurate
That is how high it was supposed to be. It was at 350 feet
Thanks for quick response!! I could not find it on google. I just knew the 200 feet seemed off
No Problem! I love to find info!

Hmm, local NBC affiliate posted a scheduled drill for DC Fire and EMS to practice icy water rescues exactly one week earlier. Coincidence? https://nitter.poast.org/realTrevorLe/status/1884834731201589687#m
if that was a seasoned pilot, should he not have known that he had a 200 foot ceiling?
