And F-35A the other day as well but pilot survived that.
Guessing in the talking point it be why did the helicopter cross paths of approaching aircraft and why was their only one controller in ATC.
My guess is the helicopter thought that ATC meant another CRJ and the infact didnโt see the AA flight. Rip to all who died.

Happy for them but this unfortunately means the 757 is coming to and end
nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Yep going next year.
It wasnt a dash 8, it was a learjet that crashed near the Rosevelt mall in Philadelphia. RIP to the 6 on board.
Sorry. Now I read on discord IT is learjet.
Again guys, real world aviation news thread, this is for other aviation related discussions.
Now part owned by Lufthansa group.
In last days Lufthansa but ITA, so they joining their group.
Siลce Lufthansa is in Star Alliance iโm guessing ITA also will join Star Alliance.
I thought at first it mightโve been a case of pushback clearence, but noโฆ I guess the JAL just thought (or were told) they had the wingtip clearence but clearly they didnโt by miles lol
The Metro Washington Airport Authority (MWAA) describes current C-D as โtemporary concourses.โ If that is true, why wasnโt a permanent replacement built sometime in the '90s, and why wasnโt the project to expedite these temporary structures instead of creating a new 14-gate concourse with a primary focus of replacing regional gates, which arenโt as horrible as the C-D gates?
I would love to know if anyone has the answer to this shower thought!
It is true that C/D was built as a temporary terminal to facilitate the fast-growing demand of flights to Washington during the construction of the main terminal, though as demand quickly skyrocketed, that temporary terminal could easily be used while a new, more permanent one could be planned and built. Other projects were prioritized as a new terminal was costly and the old terminal worked fine. As the construction of what Iโll call โterminal Eโ kept getting lower as a priority, C/D was renovated in 2006 to last longer than it was originally intended. This is another reason weโve kept the temper terminal longer.
As for a regional jet terminal, โnumber-letterโ gates off of terminal A were also a more temporary solution. In the 1900โs and early 2000โs they mostly served prop planes where passengers would wait mostly in terminal A. Though as more people have flown through both, these gates have become increasingly crowded and less enjoyable, in addition to not even having jet bridges (sorry Europeans thatโs the norm even for CRJs). Many new regional jet terminal proposals have come to light and throughly looked through. The idea of โterminal Eโ replacing C/D, and โterminal Eโ replacing the number-letter gates have merged into one idea now. This is why it seems like C/D gates have been forgotten about.
In reality, both replacements are still in planning, and are subject to change. If you google โIAD new terminalโ youโll get a small regional jet terminal concept art, which will likely be built judging by google earth:
Here is what is likely being built:
Weโre closer to a new terminal than ever before, and likely it will be this regional jet terminal. Though thereโs a good chance where we have the two L remote stands in WoA weโll soon see another terminal, probably connected to the one currently under construction, to at least move some traffic from C/D. C/D will probably be rebuilt, or at least renovated again regardless.
For those who donโt like reading, overview of what I said:
How?
An Edeavor Air CRJ900 (N932XJ) has been fliped upside down during landing at Toronto from Minneapolis. No fatalities were recorded. The big question is how a CRJ landing at Toronto has gotten flipped over? I donโt know but itโs baffling when I first saw this.
Havey wind maybe?
