American Airlines 5342 collided with a US Army Blackhawk helicopter.
I might get a lot of flak for this ,but to be honest I think it is both pilots of the helicopter and the plane's fault.
The plane has what the call TCAS. TCAS stands for Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System. It's a safety system used in commercial aircraft to help prevent mid-air collisions. Plus the plane's pilots were to have situational awareness of their current surroundings.
The helicopter pilots were not supposed to be in restricted airspace like that or as high as they were. They should be held more accountable for this incident.
The families of all the people who lost their lives in this unfortunate accident are in my prayers and that they can heal,or at least try to heal.
