DC Plane Crash - What REALLY Happened?

I watch this guy not just because he is military, but because he knows what he is talking about.

The Military is clearly to blame in this accident, as they are taking it, with no denial, so the solution is that you have to remove the civilian flights, so this does not happen again.

Most of you know I was a flying helicopter crew chief, so I can say that what this guy says might have happened, which was the first thing I thought, was they only say the outbound flight, as everything the same the level as they were, which was 200 to 300 feet above the surface, with that many lights, much like Las Vegas where I flew, as I was on the flight line in Kuwait and Korea, so I know what is like to fly around the city, as my job flying is to be a spotter, as this aircraft had two pilots, and two door gunners, which would have been a PJ job, which these guys were, so they were the door spotters. If they were doing their job, this would not have happened, as they should have been trained to notice and to identify aircraft lights.

One thing no one is talking about, is the water, as it reflects the lights in the city, and in the H-60, which was one of my aircraft, this comes up from the bottom glass, as you have a full glass view. This makes it hard to see your instruments at night, as you have to look at the center console, which is down. This causes the pilots to look at their instruments at times, instead of in front or side of them.

The reason the Military flies into civilian aircraft is because they are not required to have an FFI system, which is a Friend or Foe ID, which shows up on their scope.

This was not the fault of the ATC, as they warned them all the way up to impact. This makes it clear they were not talking about the same aircraft.

This was not the first time this has happened:
1971: A US Air Force F-4 Phantom collided with a Hughes Airwest Flight 706

over the San Gabriel Mountains, California, killing all 49 people on board both aircraft. There were two in the F-4, which was being flown to get a major overhaul, had an issue with the ejector seat, when the rear seat ejected first, it fired the electronics to eject the forward canopy, so the pilot could not eject, and only one person survived.

The F-4 did not have operational avionics, no radar, the radios had issues, it was hazy that day, the last thing the pilot of the airliner said, it should not have been flown, and many people got into trouble for this. The wreckage is still there as far as I know. In this case, the F-4 pilot was flying VFR, or visual flight only, and the aircraft looked like birds when flying fast, but they did try to fly out of the way at the last second.

The helicopter flew in front of the Aircraft, so technically it flew into the helicopter in its path, but it is the fault of the military pilot, and all onboard that were spotters. They should have seen it once they were in its path, but at the speed of the airliner on landing, which is between 150 and 170 mph, it was like stepping in front of a train, which oddly enough was my second job as a brake mechanic, so I can accurately calculate how long it will take to stop one. I can tell you that both pilots were aware of the collisions at the last few seconds, as you can see some last second changes to their flight path.

The pilots of both aircraft were dead before they hit the water, as the helicopter crushed the cockpit from the images of what they pulled up, the helicopter made it into the aircraft. It might not be possible to separate all the bodies that are in the collision, having been to a few crashes, and having had an aircraft crash in front of me at an air show in Corona, less than 100 feet, and another time one hit the power lines as I was driving down the road, they survived that, but not crash in front of me, the wing flew over my head, landing in the parking lot, missing everyone. Nose first, the engine was forced through the tail. Few survive aircraft crashes of any kind.

This is 24 minutes long, and worth the watch.
