LOL. That's one thing an atheist like me doesn't have to worry about.

There was a former chopper pilot on either Newsmax or Fox who in an aside (while they were discussing NVG use) mentioned they he had a "near miss" with a landing aircraft at Reagan because he mistook their lights as ground background lights (they basically blended into the background) ...
It's possible that this happens more often than is publicly reported...
I would imagine that other thing would take up a significant part of your worry time....
You know, Hell...
But then again...is this true? This guy ran the FAA for the last 4 years?

I couldn’t tell you the first thing about flying a Blackhawk Helicopter, or any helicopter. I also couldn’t tell you what military protocol is for these situations.
Nor have I seen any information about who was doing what and when.
But I can tell you that, for the aircraft I’ve flown, Pilot in Command is not the same thing as Pilot in Control.
I’m sure a whole, whole lot happens that isn’t publicly reported - maybe especially in that airspace (which is, or is at least very near, the most restricted airspace in the world).
They'll learn who was actually flying the helicopter by who has the severely broken thumb when they recover the other two military personnel.
Apologies if anyone related to the crew is reading this but that's one of the ways they actually determine who was in control of the helicopter...

This is the text my brother sent me last night after talking with his West Point buddies:
"This is as good of an explanation as we have seen. Bottom line, helicopter cannot be above 200’ and needs to hug the east bank of river. Looks like he got to 300’, for a little bit more toward the center of the river, making it worse, and did not ID the correct aircraft."
Obviously you have no clue if the best people were hired or not in the prior administration. If understaffing iissues is accurate, then everyone that is qualified likely was hired and dei would have had 0 effect.
If they are working 60 hours plus a week then maybe the bigger issue is not attracting enough people to work as an ATC

Different angles of crash..
I this this guy's explanation makes sense.

Forgiveness? Can you imagine Trump ever asking for anyone’s forgiveness? Me neither.
Love? I’m a frequent blood donor. I’m strong, healthy, monogamous and drug-free, so my donations are always gladly accepted. If, by some extraordinary set of circumstances, Trump ever needed my blood, I’d roll up my sleeve and ask “where’s the phlebotomist?”After his transfusion, though, I might mess with his head by lying and telling him that, prior to my donation, I had a wild weekend of unprotected sex with an assortment of LGBTQ people. Lol.
