<p>Seen: bumper sticker reading &quot;I&#39;m a Tesla driver, not an Elon supporter.&quot;</p><p>Friend, that&#39;s not how it works. If you&#39;re driving a Nazi car, you&#39;re still driving a Nazi car even if you feel bad about it.</p>

<p>anyway, here&#39;s the ntsb report (and updates) <a href="https://www.ntsb.gov/investigations/Pages/DCA25MA108.aspx" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">ntsb.gov/investigations/Pages/</span><span class="invisible">DCA25MA108.aspx</span></a></p><p>and here&#39;s the rail accident report about the people who cut a hole in the tube <a href="https://www.gov.uk/raib-reports/penetration-and-obstruction-of-a-tunnel-between-old-street-and-essex-road-stations-london" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">gov.uk/raib-reports/penetratio</span><span class="invisible">n-and-obstruction-of-a-tunnel-between-old-street-and-essex-road-stations-london</span></a></p>

<p>apart from the shocking number of near misses, one thing that stood out was that the runways in question are rarely in use</p><p>so the accident does have that clusterfuck vibe to it</p><p>a rarely used route and runway getting a little busier with regular night flights, an understaffed and overworked air controller, and where business as usual involved way more luck than people realised</p><p>it really does feel like this could have happened at any time</p>

<p>i guess anyone who looked at the route map and went &quot;a helicopter route? under an active landing path? are you serious?&quot; can feel a little bit vindicated by the ntsb&#39;s recommendation of &quot;don&#39;t do that. don&#39;t even hold the helis in place while planes are landing, find an alternate route.&quot;</p>

<p>reading up on the ntsb report on the dca heli collision, and they&#39;ve put a jaw dropping graph inside</p><p>it shows how narrow the safety margin is between the helicopter route and landing path</p><p>the last time i saw such a striking &quot;don&#39;t do that&quot; graphic in an incident report was the northern and city line incident, where someone tried to drill through an active subway line</p>
