The mid-air collision involving a U.S. Army Blackhawk helicopter and a civilian airliner earlier this year, which killed scores of passengers and crew above the nation's capital, has been shrouded in mystery as to the cause of the deadly crash.

However, the New York Times just published an article on the incident, with evidence from cockpit and air traffic control recordings, which seems to validate the one possibility the article refuses to address -- that the crash was intentional by the U.S. Army pilot.

AFP wrote about this possibility right after the crash, and also we discussed how the pilot's social media was scrubbed before her identity was released to the public.

Captain Rebecca Lobach was apparently gay, which is what the delay around releasing her identity was likely looking to hide. She was also heavily involved in the Biden White House and its agenda.

The NYT article does not mention this reality. However, the article does provide evidence that the crash was intentional, even though the writer goes to great length to try and explain that it was all just an avoidable accident.

Consider the following excerpts from the article:

Not only was the Black Hawk flying too high, but in the final seconds before the crash, its pilot failed to heed a directive from her co-pilot, an Army flight instructor, to change course.

Aboard the Black Hawk that night a curious exchange occurred between the two pilots.

Captain Lobach, who by that point had assumed the controls, announced an altitude of 300 feet, according to cockpit voice recordings. Warrant Officer Eaves then read out an altitude of 400 feet.

As the helicopter approached the Key Bridge, from which it would fly south along the river, Warrant Officer Eaves stated that it was at 300 feet and descending to 200 feet — necessary because the maximum height for its route closer to the airport had dropped to 200 feet.

But even as it reached that juncture, Warrant Officer Eaves evidently felt obligated to repeat his instruction: The Black Hawk was at 300 feet, he said, and needed to descend.

Captain Lobach said she would. But two and a half minutes later, the Black Hawk still was above 200 feet — a dangerously high level.

Warrant Officer Eaves replied, affirming for the second time that the Black Hawk saw the traffic. “PAT two-five has the aircraft in sight. Request visual separation,” he said.

“Vis sep approved,” the controller replied.

It was their last communication.

The Black Hawk was 15 seconds away from crossing paths with the jet. Warrant Officer Eaves then turned his attention to Captain Lobach.

He told her he believed that air traffic control wanted them to turn left, toward the east river bank.

Turning left would have opened up more space between the helicopter and Flight 5342, which was heading for Runway 33 at an altitude of roughly 300 feet.

She did not turn left.

Remember that this incident occurred right after President Trump was inaugurated on January 20th. This was during the period that leftist influencers were warning that Trump was going to kill and imprison gays.

The fact the NYT did not even mention this possibility is par for the course in their reporting, but disturbing none the less.

We hope the NTSB will look into her social media posts that were taken down, and investigate this possibility. The American public deserves to know.
