Just waking up to the terrible news of the collision in Washington - so sorry x
They are saying that it’s a recovery now rather than a rescue - just so awful.

The passenger plane collided with a military helicopter.

Yes, it’s live on Sky news, they are saying that the helicopter was on a training exercise - it changed from a rescue to recovery about 15mins ago…..( according to the live feed )

Sad, just read the details like 67 total dead with the majority being figure skaters and coaches from America and Russia

The Black Hawk helicopter has stealth design, invisible on radar - it was their fault - IMO! So Air traffic controllers could not detect them as any normal plane would be detected in order to alarm airline pilot and avoid the collision.

To be honest I think it’s too early to speculate, one of the investigators said earlier that it’s not unusual for helicopters to be in the area, that it is a common event. He added that both the helicopter and plane were on the normal flight paths.
Think more information will come over the coming days.

This is what I heard so far: The system on aircraft that alerts them to other aircraft, once they get much lower altitude, that system doesn't work like at higher levels. Because they are getting ready to land.

Yes I heard what Trump said absolutely awful - to make this political and To blame the air traffic control employee's ,before knowing the facts is stupid - and he states he has common sense !!!!
Common sense would wait for the facts before apportioning blame.

What is the responsibility of air traffic controllers?

At this moment in time we don’t know that they did anything wrong, the errors could have been elsewhere. So you are going to go along with what he said about them not be intellectual enough.
That they have mental disabilities.…..
You think it’s perfectly okay to presume what went wrong - good attitude !

I think it important to remember the CiC of the military would know more information than what would trickle out to broadcast media and the civilian public.
