No flight rules were broken by the helicopter (other than failing to see and avoid).
Something's telling me the next FAA report will be an indictment of a Bidenite

Amazing.
What caused the collision that occurred over the Potomac River near Washington D.C.'s Reagan National Airport, involving an American Airlines jet and a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter on January 30, 2025?
Less than 30 seconds before the crash, air traffic control had asked the helicopter if they had the commercial flight in sight and instructed them to pass behind it.
Preliminary observations suggest issues with visual separation and possibly exceeding the altitude limit for military helicopters in that area, as indicated by President Trump's comments on the helicopter's altitude.

No, that would take deep thought and careful planning, two things that type are totally incapable of.Could TDS be strong enough to motivate a Bidenite to commit mass murder in hopes of damaging the victorious Trump Administration?

We may never know, but it could have been intentional.
That's what was reported.
The pilot in command of PAT 25 during the impact was indeed a female captain. According to the available information from various news sources, the helicopter referred to as PAT 25, which was involved in the mid-air collision, had a female captain at the time of the incident. Details might be subject to further verification or investigation.

"It was a very experienced group," said Jonathan Koziol, a retired Army chief warrant officer with more than 30 years experience in flying Army helicopters. Koziol has been attached to the Unified Command Post created at Reagan National Airport to coordinate efforts following the deadly collision.
Koziol confirmed to reporters on a conference call that the male instructor pilot had more than 1,000 hours of flight time, the female pilot who was commanding the flight at the time had more than 500 hours of flight time, and the crew chief was also said to have hundreds of hours of flight time.
Koziol said that given the short duration of most helicopter flights, the number of hours they had flown showed how experienced they were.
