Early reports of 60 onboard plane from Kansas.

Yikes... did the helicopter not have ATC?

Really terrible, river is much colder than usual since we've been in a cold streak. Landing towards the northwest on the shorter runway 33. Hopefully there are some survivors - it would have been very close to the ground but at nighttime not sure how you find 60 people in the water. I suspect too low to the ground for TCAS to engage and unclear if a chopper would even have TCAS.

It collided with a UH60... that's an Army helicopter.. yikes
-
That really sucks
-
Google says H-60s do have TCAS but being <15 seconds from touching down I think that would be too low for traffic advisory from TCAS.

Jesus. Terrible.

Supposedly the helicopter had a priority person on board... could be a member of the cabinet or senator etc....

Deep state theories start….now.

Yup... and if you see the video... the copter belines for the plane... crazy they didn't see each other
