Damn. I hate hearing about shit like this. I pray everyone is rescued. I get that chances are slim, but I still pray for it.

Hey, with all the shit that happened this week I’m not surprised this happened. It’s sad but Washington DC is a mess right now.
Are you serious?
News is reporting the Blackhawk was on a "routine training flight" 
Came in this thread with the same question
News is reporting the Blackhawk was on a "routine training flight"
wtf! why are they training near active major airport runways

You don’t conduct “routine training flights” in one of the congested and heavily secured airspace in the U.S.
Per the scanner, 19 bodies brought to shore as of 11:39pm EST
Actually they do. I used to see Marine One practicing frequently.
Same shit almost happened last year there wtf?! That air traffic control is stupid. Its about to be more flights outta Dulles and Baltimore now
Marine One and Air Force One and any aircraft connected to POTUS are under different flight regulations.
This was a U.S. ARMY Blackhawk flying around a heavily traffic airport.
There are plenty of areas far away from Washington DC to do a routine training flight.
You don’t see commercial aviation pilots doing routine training flights near White Sands Missile Range or Nevada Bombing Ranges
Aircraft type involved in crash is fitted with 65 passenger seats
The passenger plane that was struck over the Potomac is fitted with 65 seats, according to American Airlines.
The Bombardier CRJ700 has 44 seats in its main cabin, 12 in the main cabin extra section and nine in first class, the airline's website says.
what are prayers going to do?
people say this shit so loosely but how does it help?
Helicopter was on a training flight, military official says
The helicopter involved in tonight's crash near Reagan Airport was participating in a training flight, a military official told NBC News.
“We can confirm that the aircraft involved in tonight’s incident was an Army UH-60 helicopter from Bravo Company, 12th Aviation Battalion, out of Davison Army Airfield, Fort Belvoir during a training flight," the official said, adding that the military was working with local officials and would provide more details once they're available.
I wouldn't go all the way to common but if you die in a plane, the most likely way is on takeoff or landing. And the most likely way to buy it on takeoff/landing is a collision.
Who was on that plane? That is the real question…
I'm not trying to go conspiracy here, but she MIGHThave a point, although her timing and delivery are raggedy. When this shit happens, two planes were in a place where only one should have been. That happens when pilots are inattentive, or when controllers fuck up. If freezing funding had an impact on controller operations, it would be one of those unintended consequences of some stupid Trump shit. She just suggested that someone look, although she was an asshole about her timing and delivery. When there is a collision in a positive control area at an airport ( that means that every instruction you get has to be read back to the controller to prevent fuckups like this) the first place I would look is at the controllers.
Regret Colin Powell.
