I did say in a previous thread that we could afford to wait for the crew to be identified before assuming the rumour that one of the pilots was a transsexual was true, but refusing to disclose the second pilot's identity while the other pilot (Andrew Eaves) and the crew chief (Ryan O'hara) are public knowledge is giving credence to that rumour.

The helicopter was involved in, and may have actually caused, one of the worst airline disasters in American history.

There is no "may have." The helicopter was travelling in a flight corridor with a maximum altitude of 200 feet. The helicopter was at 300 feet, then shortly before the collision swerved out of the flight corridor and ascended to 350 feet. Even if we don't blame the pilot/s for the swerve - if they were suddenly blinded by the lights on an airliner and left their previous trajectory because they were trying to halt their forwards momentum - that does not explain or excuse the fact that they were already outside of the flight corridor.
