#Blackhawk Helicopter Shut Off Its Transponder Before Deliberately Colliding With a Passenger Plane Over Reagan National Airport

Do the Math: Ten Days after Trump is Sworn In, a Pilot Decides to Hit a Passenger Jet at Reagan National Airport to Protest End of DEI

It seems increasingly likely that Wednesday's accident 400 feet above Alexandria Virginia, was a deliberate set up. The US Army Blackhawk helicopter had its transponder off, and seems to have flown directly into the commuter jet carrying 64 passengers from Wichita KS to Reagan National Airport.

Just 9 days after Trump was sworn in, a Bombardier CRJ700 with 64 on board collided with a Blackhawk Army helicopter carrying 3 Army personnel. The accident at Reagan National Airport is the first US fatality crash involving a commercial jet, since 2009. Some of the passengers were traveling from a gathering of top ice skaters at an annual camp.

The Blackhawk pilot was warned 20 seconds before the collision. 13 seconds before the collision, he said "I see him," referring to the jet. But he did not change his course and flew directly into the Bombardier.

Bill Ackman is a hedge fund manager and a careful analyst. He thinks the accident was most likely domestic terrorism. "How does an incredibly maneuverable military helicopter fly into a regional aircraft by accident with all of the sensors and warning devices designed to prevent an accident like this one?" Adkman asked on Twitter. "It sounds more like terrorism than an accident."

"Watch the close up which begins halfway through the 21 second clip. The Blackhawk flies straight into the plane and makes no apparent effort or maneuver to avoid it."

The Blackhawk apparently did NOT have its transponder on, and was designated as a "PAT" (Priority Air Transport) which means that there was a very high ranking Military Official on board the helicopter. It is unknown how many were on board.

"In it's final move, why did PAT25 military helicopter turn off its GPS, fly directly towards the jet that was on approach for ~10 seconds, not respond when asked if they had the jet in sight, and then increase its altitude +200ft just before impacting the jet that was on final approach and in the helicopter pilot's full view? Seems very unusual and concerning/suspicious." @PJSTEVENSON on Twitter

"Aviation Instructor here. Two major issues. One, helicopter had a disabled transponder. Aircraft have two. So if one fails, the other takes over. Had to manually be turned off. The airliner would have seen it and executed a GA based off TCAS warnings and guidance commands". @TommyD6336

The doomed flight was #AA5342, a commuter jet that collided with a #blackhawk helicopter. "I’m seeing commentary on social media that the American Airlines and U.S. Army helicopter crash near the Ronald Reagan Airport happened because of President Trump defunding DEI in the federal government." @mrandyngo

Has Stan Greene been fired? To write such a story saying that the trans pilot ,who wasn't even in the helicopter, purposely flew the Black Hawk into the passenger plane should be tried and charged with conspiracy. Outrageous. And in the middle stating that Trump said it and was right as usual. What kind of a rag is this?

Bill Ackman is not a 'careful analyst.' He has a history of spreading conspiracy theories and erroneous claims. Bill even has trouble reading and composing coherent emails. Everyone is dumber for reading this page. God help us.
