Fatal Midair collision between American Airlines jet and Army Helicopter (2 Viewers)

[DA RAIDERS]

I wonder if they left from that helo pad at the bottom of manhattan. The tourist and fat cats coming and going from there is NON stop.

I'm a private pilot, but I've always said I'll never fly in a helicopter...this reaffirms that comment. They work until they don't, and unlike a plane, any failure is usually catastrophic.

I've heard helicopters described as "10,000 moving parts flying in formation around an oil leak while waiting to kill us".
