Trump voices DEI complaints, confirms all passengers feared dead in helicopter collision
Air traffic surveillance towers at the airport captured a sound of the direct effects of the accident.
In registration, someone – a pilot – air traffic monitors, asks, “Tower, have you seen that?” He responds, “Yes, we saw that.”
The observer tells himself aircraft in the area to hold their positions.
Details of the control unit what they saw: “Maybe it was in the middle of the river. Mother, I have just seen a fiery ball and then he just went. I have never seen anything since they hit the river. But it was CR-J and the helicopter that struck, I would like to say half a mile of Approach.
The plane is a regional CRJ700 Bombardier CRJ700.
Almost immediately, the airport consoles are closed, all the corridors are closed and the landing stops and any movements.
Within minutes, control units begin to redirect other aircraft in the area.
“I need you to land immediately,” requires a console. “Can you go to Dulles for a few minutes?” Another plane is asked to go to Baltimore.
Control units also require help from other aircraft in the search and rescue process.
“The flight surface, do you have any kind of search light or anything on the plane that would help throw some light?” He asks the console.
After more than 10 minutes with a little accident, the console is asking a pilot on the ground if he wants to return to the gate.
He says: “I don’t know whether we will be able to resume operations in the near future,” he says. After a minute, he sent the pilot to the gate, saying: “They will close the airport.”
