I've seen some reports that bodies have been pulled from the Potomac as well. Some reports are saying that it was a Priority Air Transport (VIP) helicopter.
They were training right there in the final approach glideslope of one of the busiest airports in the country?! That's just insane. What were they training? Close calls with other aircraft? Fly over the airport right down the middle perpendicular to it (actually where ATC prefers, you're flying over planes on the ground). Go train on the other side of the airport.

10:1 odds that either the air traffic controller or the flight crew were DEI hires.
Video makes it look intentional. They were beelining right towards that plane.
Media is oddly reporting it the other way around, that the plane flew into the helicopter.
Weird.

Is that what appears to happen in the video?
