According to a recent investigation, the Black Hawk helicopter’s pilot committed two fatal errors that caused it to crash into a passenger airliner before crashing into the Potomac River in January.
The catastrophe that occurred more than eight weeks ago and claimed the lives of 67 individuals is still causing shock in the aviation industry.
As Captain Rebecca M. Lobach allegedly disregarded orders to alter course, it has now been asserted that a series of communication blunders contributed significantly to the horrific accident on January 29.
In the skies over Washington, DC, the 28-year-old’s military plane collided with an American Airlines plane that had been authorized to land at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.
In the past, investigators had hypothesized that the helicopter had been flying too high, crashing into the plane’s path and killing the pilot.
Furthermore, a shocking new story from The New York Times claims that Lobach disregarded instructions when performing her yearly flight evaluation in the air.
