The future of flying

And mechanical failures can be completely outside the hands of the pilot and usually are. It's not impossible that pilot error played a role in this accident. But it is highly disrespectful to the dead pilot and passengers to make assumptions to push a narrative when the facts of the case are not known.
 

The female pilot flying the Black Hawk helicopter that collided with an American Airlines flight, made multiple mistakes and ignored a warning from her co-pilot, according to the New York Times.

Tragic.

The New York Times reports that there were multiple mistakes made leading up to the tragedy that took over 60 lives.

“Not only was the Black Hawk flying too high, but in the final seconds before the crash, its pilot failed to heed a directive from her co-pilot, an Army flight instructor, to change course,” the NYT reports.

The report also puts blame on the air traffic controller for not being clear and urgent enough however Warrant Officer Andrew Eaves, who was co-piloting and the instructor of Captain Rebecca Lobach, told her to turn left. She didn’t.

“He told her he believed that air traffic control wanted them to turn left, toward the east river bank.”

“Turning left would have opened up more space between the helicopter and Flight 5342, which was heading for Runway 33 at an altitude of roughly 300 feet. She did not turn left,” reported the NYT.

Sucks to be that guy. If he had ripped control of the aircraft away from her, his career would have been over.

However, by not taking control, his career was ended even more permanently!

Pretty much sums up the death of the "West" in a microcosm. Wussy, corrupt men who only care about their reputations, afraid to do the right thing even if it means the end of their life (or civilization's life).
 
Apparently she was making selfies (there were pics online just after the tragedy happened I didn't save them unfortunately) and her family did everything to get it removed from the Internet. Not sure if it was from the "accident" flight or an earlier one but taking selfies while pretending to control a helicopter is probably the ultimate form of narcissism.

I'm not even going to say anything more as I respect the forum rules.

The fact that the passenger killed was a high-profile businessman increases the possibility of foul play, though an accident is still a lot more likely at this point, barring more information - Occam's.

Escobar served as CEO of Rail Infrastructure at Siemens Mobility, the transportation solutions division of Siemens AG. He wasn´t Spanish Siemens CEO anymore:

"He had recently taken up the post of CEO of rail infrastructure at Siemens Mobility, following a two-year stint as president and CEO of the German technology firm in Spain."

Newark airport air traffic controller offers damning assessment: ‘It is not safe. Don’t fly into Newark’

The airport, which served 49 million travelers in 2024 and is the second busiest in the New York City area, has been drowning in delays and cancellations for days.
nypost.com nypost.com

Newark Liberty International Airport is “not safe” for travelers, one air traffic controller at the delay-plagued travel hub reportedly warned.

“It is not safe. It is not a safe situation right now for the flying public,” the federal air safety employee reportedly told NBC News correspondent Tom Costello.

“Really an incredible statement, unsolicited. He just said that to me, and separately, ‘Don’t fly into Newark. Avoid Newark at all costs,’” Costello recounted on MSNBC.

The situation has grown so dire that United Airlines — which uses the airport as its primary East Coast hub — announced it was cancelling 35 roundtrip flights daily, saying it was necessary “in order to protect our customers.”

I suppose you're right that it's photoshopped.

However, it's been around for years, and I accepted it as real. There's that other picture of him with his fag husband sitting together holding the baby, which is equally bad in my mind, so I never even thought to doubt the picture with the plastic tits.

Hopefully this picture did help to obliterate his career.
