Capt. Rebecca M. Lobach, the pilot, constantly dismissed warnings from Warrant Officer about flying above the safe altitude limit in the area.
This caused the Black Hawk helicopter to collide with a commercial airplane and killing 67 people.
Jagoff comedian Jimmy Dore comments:
The aircraft was equipped with four altimeters, one radar and one barometric altimeter for each pilot station. One of them malfunctioned and was giving a lower reading that in reality, meaning that he helo was actually far higher than what it was indicting. Guess which of the four altimeters Lobach decided to use?
