Why didn't the helicopter turn away from plane?

What is your best guess?

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced the Pentagon has begun a probe into the cause of a deadly midair collision between a passenger jet and a military helicopter, looking to understand who was to blame and how the tragedy occurred.

I don't get why an army helicopter would be carrying out training flights over a very busy civilian airfield. The army air station is not exactly close by either.

In Canada this is one reason we built military airfields outside city limits or even nowhere near a city.

Seems like doing Driver's Ed on a racetrack.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow That's what I said!

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Anyone in airspace of an airport is at the mercy of the air traffic controllers. If they are incompetent because they got their jobs through DemoNazi DEI programs, there's the cause.

And Biden PUSHED that lethal policy.

@Reason10 You are right about the air traffic controllers. The idea it has anything to do DEI programs doesn't exist. That is just your cult leader shooting off his mouth.

You are making a determination based on the verbal vomit of one man with nothing to back it up.

Oh and that "DEI" program has been in place since 2013. If it was so bad why didn't your cult leader do anything about it during his first term.

But of course everything is always Obama or Hillary's fault.

I guess we don't need an investigation. Just make decisions based on your Dear Leader's feelings.

Just ignore the fact that the chopper was flying almost 200 feet higher than directed by air traffic control.

Facts don't matter. It is all about your feelings.

@Reason10 A midair collision and of all the things that could have one wrong, your first thought is dei. Trump sure has done a con job on you guys. You just parrot whatever he says.
