There were a few higher resolution videos released recently showing the crash into the Potomac at DC National. It seems unbelievable that the helicopter pilot couldn't have seen the jet with bright landing lights directly ahead.

It was somewhat bizarre that the family of the female pilot did not want her identified. There was a lot of misinformation put out about her identity before it was confirmed, and that fueled some "theories." Once she was identified, then you see her political leanings are confirmed by being a social media aide under the previous administration. I just hope that this was an accident and not an intentional act, but it's hard to watch that helicopter fly directly into that plane without jumping to some awful conclusions.

Sir, this is a sad statement on the state of America.
