AA5342 Plane Crash: Audio Captures ATC Conversation With Black Hawk Pilot

Consider this:

A Blackhawk helicopter can be flown remotely using Sikorsky's MATRIX autonomy system.

At 15:00 of the attached recording is approximately 2.5 mins before the crash:

-Pat25: "PAT25 memorial."

-Tower: Pat25 roger.

At approximately 16:20 of the attached recording:

-Tower: "PAT25 traffic just south of (unclear) bridge is a CRJ at 1,200ft turning for Runway 33"

- PAT25: PAT25 has the Traffic in sight, request visual separation

- Tower: Visual separation approved.

- Tower: "American 1631 winds are (unclear) no delay, traffic on 3 mile final for Runway 33 cleared for immediate takeoff"
-
- "Cleared for takeoff, AA1631"
-
Approximately 10 seconds (17:40 of the attached recording) prior to collision:

-Tower: "PAT25 do you have the CRJ in sight?"

-Tower: "PAT25 (unclear maybe pass behind) CRJ"

-Pat25: Affirm. Pat 25 has traffic in sight request visual separation.

-Tower: Separation.

At approximately 17:45 of the attached recording:

-"Tower, AA472 (unclear)"

At approximately 17:50 of the attached recording the crash occurs:

-"American 472 Washington tower" alarms going off "Oooh!" "Oh my god!" *click

15 seconds later:

-"Tower, did you see that?"

Tower frantically begins commanding go arounds and deconfliction.

Who on PAT25 was talking on the radio with the Tower? It was clearly a male voice. Can it be confirmed that it was Chief Warrant Officer 2 Andrew Eaves or Crew Chief Ryan O'Hara? The third crewmember was begrudgingly identified as Captain Rebecca Lobach after all of her social media had been scrubbed. She was also identified as a former White House aide in Joe Biden's administration.

All of this indicates irregularity and possible sabotage. An audio analysis needs to be conducted to confirm the Blackhawk speakers identity.

Was the pilot override on the Sikorsky's MATRIX autonomy system rigged to disable along with the radio on the Blackhawk? I would say "malfunctioned" but I think the possibility of two vital systems failing by chance at the same time would be very unlikely.

Perhaps, the person that was speaking on the radio as PAT25 even in that helicopter?

Full autopsies need to be conducted on the members of the Blackhawk crew, and all items that were onboard need to be analyzed. Maybe there was a recording from inside the Blackhawk (cell phone? Black box?)

It's just a theory, but it's a scenario that fits the facts. #planecrash #BlackHawk #AmericanAirlines
