New Details Emerge About Female Pilot Rebecca Lobach's Shocking Negligence Before Helicopter-Plane Collision Near DC's Reagan Ai...
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.
Plummeting aircraft puts the "dive" in diversity.
Should be renamed to dieversity...
Many, many red flags with this one. It took a lot of political power to put her in that cockpit.
It took actual brainpower to not just ignore but intentionally deny ATC commands to change course, change altitude, look around, and avoid the plane. One has to wonder what went through her mind before she slammed it through her many victims.
I think it was a spur of the moment suicide. The instructor was telling her what to do to prevent the collision and she didn’t do it. The instructor probably tried to take control of the aircraft but she fought him on the controls.
There was definitely some maliciousness at the controls - I think the very last communication from the helicopter was a lie to ATC when instructed to confirm visual on the aircraft she collided with. Pure incompetence wouldn't have been a lie, it would have been a request to repeat visual heading to look or something.
She just locked up. Ignored the commands. I've seen it a dozen times with female medics.. they cannot process what's happening if there is alot of stimuli. They just ignore it... its woman thing.. get pissed all you want it's true 100%
She did worse than that. After being commanded to change course and altitude which she refused to do ATC told her to verify she saw her victims, the reply was confirmation. Meaning either she lied, or she was looking directly at who she planned to murder. One thing she didn't do was lock up because that reply was seconds before death and she specifically responded to a query about making eye contact with the plane she killed. If all she had done was lock up, no answer might have made sense. But a measured normal pilot confirmation that was either a complete fabrication over the radio, or a cold blooded murderer without remorse radioing in they have victims in sight, that last radio transmission was proof she was taking direct and intentional action that caused people to die and wasn't just doing nothing at all.
Sounds like MKUltra
Really anons, we knew this, didn't we?
Everybody assumes that her headset was working correctly---but everything is consistent with a failure of the headset. I once had a good Koss headphone for stereo hi-fi listening, but when it got old, it got cranky. An unplugged lead is all that would be necessary.
Why leap to a condemnation when a simple (but terrible) communication fault could have been the cause?
Because the nonDEI copilot would have done something if it wasn't intentional by the DEI pilot.
And how would he have known? By telepathy? What does intentionality have to do with the necessity for emergency action? And, as someone else has said, there is no guarantee that grabbing control would have helped the matter. If she was deaf to the situation, any such interference could have resulted in a struggle for control. You need to step back and rethink your picture of the world. I don't think you are a helicopter pilot.
The condemnation is the event itself. Complete and total catastrophic failure of ability and duty. Strawman arguments do not assist in fact finding measures of critical events. The chopper didnt fly itself into a plane. (Someone) did.
Not to mention the headsets and comms would all be part of a pre lift off check list performed and verified prior to clearance to proceed with the lift off.
I highly doubt you would feel so whimsical about who was responsible if YOUR spouse, kid, friend or family member was on the airplane hit or killed in the helicopter.
As though equipment cannot fail after a check-off. Give me a laugh. That's why we design systems with multiple redundancies.
No amount of misery or sorrow has any bearing on the facts of what happened, and so far, there is nothing to prove that human malfeasance was at fault, if everything is explicable by a material fault. People are running away from Occam's Razor.
All I see here is raging misogyny hiding behind DEI condemnation. And I resent being called "whimsical" when I have been dead serious about this event in every comment I make.
Yes equipment failures occur. It is possible no doubt. And you answer that issue in the very next sentence with redundancies in place. Which in a military aircraft, this one in particular I have flown in many times including utilizing the comm headset system, moves the needle further away from possible to highly unlikely to occur or be the event as a catalyst for catastrophic failure.
As for others misogynistic comments I take no credit or care what others have to ramble on about. Looking at this event as a result or failure of DEI is reasonable and worthy to dissect properly.
It is. In which case the basis of evidence should rest on pertinent facts, not leading assumptions. As I always point out, "unlikely" does not mean "impossible." But thank you for your service.
