Its a Learjet, which is now bought by Bombardier. The other plane crash earlier this week was also a Bombardier. Coincidence? 🤔
We might have another contender to the role of “Worst Plane Manufacturer”
Edit: To be fair, the other incident also involved a helicopter, we don’t know which was at fault, and it could be pilot error, rather than mechanical failure.
Could you explain like I’m an idiot how the Bomardier CRJ colliding with a UH60 was the a mechanical or design fault with the Bombardier CRJ? This is an interesting and unique take that I haven’t heard before and I want you to explain it more.
Respectfully, for the DCA incident, a military helicopter LITERALLY RAMMED INTO A JET THAT WAS 4 SECONDS FROM LANDING. There was no mechanical error.
The consensus on r/aviation is that it was the helicopter pilot’s error, and it was a long time coming with the near-misses that have happened at that airport. Considering a lot of the people on that subreddit are actual pilots/military people/have access to ATC chatter, I’m gonna trust their opinions more.
I don’t usually recommend going to reddit, but the r/aviation megathreads after the Jeju Air crash and then these two incidents were very informative. Plus the mods + community work very hard to keep away ignorant comments and conspiracy nuts.
Was it a Boeing?
Neither of the two planes that fell down recently were Boeings.
Boeing rn that no one is paying attention to them
