Even at night time? I've seen Marine One circling that area many times, mutiple times during the day time esp. if I am crossing the 14th street bridge or in the arlington area, but damn didn't know they flew frequently at night time as well....

Night training flights are normal, just not over busy metro areas. Especially near the airport.
Transportation secretary says both aircraft were on 'standard flight patterns'
Kyla Guilfoil
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said at the press conference that the Black Hawk helicopter was in a "standard flight pattern" at the time of the collision and was aware there was a passenger plane in the immediate vicinity.
"Last night, the helicopter was in a standard pattern. If you live in the D.C. area, you’ll see helicopters up and down the river, this flight pattern is seen oftentimes when you live in D.C.," Duffy said.
The newly-minted transportation head added that the American Airlines flight was also in a "standard flight pattern," telling reporters both aircraft's paths were "not unusual."
"This was not unusual with a military aircraft flying over the river and aircraft landing at DCA and again, if you live in the area, you’ll see that frequently with those two aircraft working together," Duffy said.
Duffy said that "safety is our expectation" and that he knows "you will not rest until we have answers for the families and for the flying public."
kinda wild the debris went into the Potomac River. That’s precision considering is fuckin DC!

Yup same thing I said. Surprised no debris fell down on 395 (14th street bridge), Gravelly park, or GW parkway.
As I keep telling y’all they are trying to spin the fuck out of this story. This is a horrible tragedy, but at the same time a lot of things don’t add up. And the Trump administration making things worse because they don’t have the correct stories together.
Exactly. The Potomac is big, but not relative to the city itself. The margin of error is extremely low for planes colliding and the debris falling to the river.
If truly an accident, consider the residents of DC extremely fortunate.
Not really weatherman.. Bridge is probably "only" 90 feet wide. Percentages of debris falling on it opposed to the river are really low when you think about it.
This motherfucker right here yo…fucking ridiculous
What other Russians was on that plane???
That part
I’m talking about the city in general, not just a bridge.
So both were on standard flight patterns; well how the fuck they fly into each other then??? They fuck they talking about?? This shit is wild and got me heated…Transportation secretary says both aircraft were on 'standard flight patterns'

Yes, he is right. It was not cloudy. It was not raining. It was a clear night. Also that plane had a lot of lights on it. This is why I keep telling you guys that something about this tragedy. Also, you do not do training exercises at a busy airport at night, especially in DC US News media I know you’re compromise, but y’all better get on your Ps and cues about this story.
Im sure there will be debris on ground.
That dude is a fucking idiot and he don’t know what he is talking about. This is what happens when you put people who don’t know what the fuck they do in certain spots in this government. This tragedy showed a lot of incompetence that most people seen in the first the Trump administration. And I keep telling you guys a lot of motherfuckers is going to be dead during this Trump term.
Trump did fuck up the FAA last week was executive orders sooooo
Why is a soldier in uniform commenting on this crash on TikTok? If this individual is indeed a soldier, he should be court-martialed.
