Confirmed, the helicopter pilot was a woman.

But the army is not releasing her name. So we'll never know if she used to be a firefighter in California, I guess.

Word on the street is they delayed a few days in order to scrub her social media.

The family didn't want her name dragged through the mud for no reason, the family said. Not some vague word on the street bullshit. God I hate people.

I do not think it was her fault. She had a co-pilot too, a guy, and they both apparently didn't see the plane.

While it was curious how long it took to release her name (not the family's decision, BTW), anyone who thinks it was all her fault just because she's a woman is an idiot.

This is on the tower and the one guy doing two jobs at one of the busiest airports in the world. And while that person might have made a mistake, why the fuck were they doing two people's jobs?

It's really a mystery why the average person cheered on, or at least, understood why Luigi shot that CEO.

The passport could have been put on the next plane going to that city and he'd only have been inconvenienced a few hours. Instead he probably cost the airline a million dollars, once lawsuits and cost of fuel are factored

Based on a NY Times piece, it sounds like the Black Hawk pilot was the main catalyst for the crash between it and the passenger jet.
