Real early on, it was reported the 'hawk went from 200 to 350 or so ft at the last moment, and i never heard it mentioned again.
Not being glued to the news, you understand, and i dont sleep to it; one can get some crazy stories that way!

That too was early reported and ignored.

fwiw, i did mention this was from the bbc..."consider the source".
"Information protocols must be followed!"
Its why Those In Charge always want to hang whistleblowers.
That close to landing of course the plane was exactly where it was instructed and needed to be to land.
We have a second home in Kiowa, KS and a beautiful couple living south of us on the same street, on the KS/OK border line road were on that plane going to see their daughter. He was a very successful farmer, rancher, and philanthropist.
Bob & Lora Schrock will be greatly missed.
Funeral is Saturday, being held in the high school gym as so many will be there. We head back down tomorrow, Saturday, and will attend.

In the 60's there was a movie, The Crowded Sky. It pointed out that our airways were congested and even minor malfunctions could cause collisions. Today, even with the advancement in ATC radar things aren't really any better because there is just so much more air traffic. Sad to say, things like this will continue to happen whether by human error or equipment failure. But, as tragic as these events are, considering the air miles traveled the ATC folks and air crews do one heck of a job.

Totally possible, of course, but I'll just ask the obvious question: where did The Times get this information? Much unsupported speculation.
There is no documentation that she was instructed by anyone to change her course. We're not even assured that she was actually flying the bird at the time of the accident.
Way too easy to somehow attempt to indirectly tie this to Biden . . . but it's The Times, after all.
Clickbait. :rolleyes:

We'd be hard pressed to find a newspaper that defends democrats at all costs more than the NYT. If they're saying it Im apt to believe it. We’ll see what develops
Yeah, will see what develops.
A lot of other outlets are reporting same info now, seems they must taped audio of the cockpit comms.

"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," the Times wrote.
The times wrote. We still do not have anything but the newspaper's commentary. If there were taped conversations as mentioned, let's see/hear them and have documentation of their authenticity.
The comments under that link are telling. There are still unanswered questions, just speculations.
I'm not attempting to "rescue" Lobach, just wanting the truth to come out from authenticated reports, not the opinions of a newspaper.
