Woman copter Pilot Refused to change altitude or turn in DC Crash in January
2025-04-28
[GellerReport] The female helicopter pilot ignored multiple warnings from her right seat about altitude (and his directly telling her to turn away) and flew straight into a passenger jet.

The pilot had 2:30 minutes to turn, [that] is a lot of time to react to a directive.
"I don't need you to mansplain it to me! I'm a strong grown independent wymyn!"
It is the deadliest air disaster in the US since 2001, and the first crash of an American airliner in nearly 15 years.
