  • The helicopter route at the time of the collision allowed the Black Hawk to fly as close as 75 feet below planes descending to land on runway 33 at Reagan National Airport, according to the NTSB. With allowable errors in the helicopter’s altimeters and other equipment as well as Army rules expecting aviators to hold their altitude within 100 feet, it could end up being much closer.

    “How much tolerance should we have for aviation safety whenever civilian lives are at risk?” asked Todd Inman, NTSB board member. “How much is that tolerance,” he continued. “I think it should be zero.”

    Sounds like the tolerances weren’t big enough! Odd interaction putting those two paragraphs next to each other. NTSB demanding zero margin for safety…



  • It’s unthinkable that CMS would violate the trust of Medicaid enrollees in this way

    Once again stolen medical records are being used for state oppression. In WWII, the Netherlands suffered 75% of their Jewish population killed - the highest of any country even Germany - because the invading Nazis made a beeline for the medical records archive where the government kept a meticulous track of all Dutch citizens. I never volunteer race or ethnicity on any such forms - there is no medical benefit, it can only come back to hurt you.
