With hindsight, when ATC saw something was wrong, the ATC should have aborted the passenger landing and then excoriated the military aircraft. They trusted the military pilot too much.
I've watched some youtube with other military (I think) pilot comments. He implied that ATC systems raised an alarm meaning that there is an automated system which look for dangerous situations. Traffic controller should have been more assertive.
ATC saying behind implies that helicopter would simply stop and let CRJ pass toward Runway and then pass behind it.
The internet basically solved this one the first day. They will of course have to make sure there wasn't anything else going on but it's pretty clear what happened:
The automated systems on the planes can't be used that close to the airport (false alarms from all the planes on the ground--and, yes, I think that's a design flaw.) I don't know what ATC has, but we do know ATC knew about the situation and directed the helo to avoid the jet.
Who said anything about it?
Well, he implied that it exists and sounded an alarm.
They pretty much do. They talk on a different frequency, and while neither pilot can hear each other, the controller can hear both. And they would not let military fly willy nilly wherever they want to go.
That's a conspiracy theory that it out there. What source did you use? Some have said it was a transgender pilot with gender dysphoria issues who hated Trump and may have hit it on purpose as a part of a transgender terror attack. Trump friendly news sources (I used OAN) had an anchor who was actively seeking conspiracy theories to spread. The comments had some about Trans. I posted that this was debunked. The free speech moderators at OAN deleted my response, but let the transgender conspiracy theory stay. But Trump gives them a wink and a nod by putting out a rash of his own theories, knowing that a shocking number of his followers will believe him.
It was a woman and her family is trying to keep her name out of the news because they fear Trump will attack her.
I heard that Hunter Biden's laptop was flying the chopper.
Obama signed the law that put DEI controllers with mental problems in their jobs in 2012. Trump COULD have repealed all that while he was ridding us of all of Obama's other accomplishments during his first term, but he didn't. That failure on his part would make him partially responsible though. But it was implemented in 2012 but that didn't keep Trump from boarding AF 1 for his weekly trips to Mar a Lago, and yes...those same mentally challenged controllers have been guiding his planes...AF1 or not...everywhere he flies. But again, it doesn't matter as Trump has spoken and cast the blame. Now it is up to teh NTSB to simply confirm what he said.
Well, that would certainly explain the tremendous, bigly uptick in fatal air crashes in the United States since 2012, now wouldn't it?
Given that the vast majority of those accidents listed are 40, 50....some over 70 years old, odds are good those controllers are either long retired or dead. I remember the good old days in 1981 when Reagan fired pretty much ALL of teh controllers.Well, that would certainly explain the tremendous, bigly uptick in fatal air crashes in the United States since 2012, now wouldn't it?
See, for example, the statistics in the following link, and citations therein:
One can only hope that some of those brain damaged ATC operators will be amongst those taking the early retirement offer and getting eight months of free money from our government.
No, no, you don't understand. Since 2012, the ATC has hired mentally handicapped people and that's why the worst fatalities all happened since then. Are you saying that I'm supposed to believe that Trump got this wrong???Given that the vast majority of those accidents listed are 40, 50....some over 70 years old, odds are good those controllers are either long retired or dead.

IT doesn't matter. Trump's goal is to be like Kim in N Korea....He said he got 11 holes in one during one round of golf. And his people believe him. IF Trump said it, then it becomes a fact. And the fact is, that Trump is one lucky man to have been flying around in his own plane and AF 1 for 13 years...being guided by these psychologically disturbed controllers.

Hillary Clinton points finger at MAGA after fatal plane crashes
Clinton and new Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy went back and forth on social media about air safety.
"Referring to DOGE's employees, Clinton said, "They have no relevant experience. Most of them aren't old enough to rent a car. And you're going to let them mess with airline safety that's already deteriorated on your watch?"
Duffy responded that Clinton needed to "sit this one out."
Clinton pointed out that there had not been a fatal commercial airline crash in the United States in 16 years. "Then MAGA fired the FAA chief, gutted the Aviation Security Advisory Committee, and threatened air traffic controllers with layoffs," Clinton said. "Now there have been two fatal crashes. Hope your unvetted 22-year-olds fix things fast."
