The DC Plane Crash and Corporate Statement
from The D.C. Plane Crash & RFK’s Hearing | The Tim Dillon Show #429 · #429
3 min
Tim opens by addressing the Reagan National Airport plane/helicopter collision, criticizing the airline CEO's oddly corporate statement and noting his prior prediction about it discussed on Patreon.
- The CEO's corporate statement about the crash felt bizarrely focused on subsidiary structures rather than acknowledging the tragedy itself.
- Tim explains the collision: a Blackhawk helicopter hit the American Eagle plane during final approach into Reagan National Airport in DC.
- Tim consulted his private jet guy about Reagan National's approach and learned helicopter training exercises happen routinely in that airspace.
- A plane had to abort landing the night before the crash because of a low-flying helicopter—the same problem that led to the collision 24 hours later.
- Flying in America means you will die, probably horribly by plunging into freezing water, and there's nothing anyone can do about it.
