His actions over the past 48 hours have pushed me over the edge. Have at him. He is truly disgusting.

It happens all the time. The East bank of the Potomac is like rush hour with military traffic. This has been an accident waiting to happen for years. The tragedy is in its preventability.

Fair enough. I’m certainly not fond of the new administration, and I’m horrified with what’s transpired so far. And I’m fearful of what’s coming down the pike. But, this wreck easily could’ve happened two months ago, two years ago. The problem goes much deeper than the new administration.

I don’t disagree with that. But this hits so close to home for me, and after flying in and out of this airport for more than two decades and wondering when this crash was going to happen, I know exactly where the blame lies.

I am no fan of this administration. But the fact is, this has been going on for years. Pilot unions have complained about low flying helicopters around DCA, but it’s been ignored by bureaucrats and the media. The media simply hasn’t been paying attention.

You’re a pilot and a journalist. You ought to know that pilots have been complaining about DCA airspace for years, to crickets. But you decided to use a tragedy as an excuse to further an agenda. Way to go.

No, this is opportunism. This has been going on for years. Pilot unions have complained about this, but it’s been ignored by bureaucrats and the media. I despise the new administration, but this problem didn’t pop up overnight. The media simply hasn’t been paying attention.

4/ Good news is, the system worked. Thankfully the holes in the swiss cheese didn't line up, and we didn't have a tragedy. As ABC pointed out, the FAA will investigate. Which they do in all TCAS alerts. It's a great system, and it did its job today.

3/ If the radar data is correct and synced properly with the audio — and I believe it is, because VAS is really good at what they do — then the controller waited way too long to turn Delta onto final. The RA sounds just as the DL pilot is responding.

2/ Which supports my contention that there aren't more events like this happening, there's just a lot more high quality cameras pointed at us doing these things.

However, watch the following reconstruction from VAS Aviation:
