If she made a mistake,
it should be about her and how SHE fuked up.

Doesn’t have to be all anti-DEI

You should check out the HBO series The Rehearsal season 2.
It's about plane crashes and it looks like the number 1 cause is cockpit communication.
It's pretty scary and eye opening

Five seconds
That was enough time for the copilot to slap the crazy bitch
And take control of the helicopter

I think she DID see the plane on a collision course
Then froze.

RIP to the passengers/crew of the plane

 

[older version]

There have been ATC that double up helicopter and airplane duty at DCA for decades. Many years before Obama and Bush 2.
It's a feature that one guy knows what's going on with both, not overworking due to "not enough ATC"
