The helicopter was flying at 300-400 feet. The buildings to the southeast are shorter than that. Those areas are 3-4 story sparse developments not highrises. The plane was above and descending. It would be seen against the night sky. There would be no buildings near where the helicopter would be looking for the plane.

Landing approaches are started from specific navaids. This plane was not off course because it was given a different arrival route than expected.

The airspace around DC is some of the most restricted in the world. Routes into the national airport are very tight with little allowance for error. Most of the routes come in over the river to avoid overflying government buildings, and the involved plane had a sharp left final over the river. The plane may have turned when the helicopter wasn’t expecting it.

This is all speculation. Investigations into things like this are thorough. It is far to early to assign blame to anyone involved.

I always carry an emergency activism brick in my purse. :3

How about just eliminate pronouns altogether. Don’t see any reason are such an essential part of language. Just don’t use pronouns at all. Why can’t all just agree to? 's not like are even nessecary.

edit: missed one

TCAS is a transponder based system. Warnings are suppressed at low altitude by design, and city lights do not interfere with it.

Runways get changed all the time for many reasons. Every runway at washington national is in a different direction, it would be a different approach entirely and not a last minute change. There is no evidence that the plane flew the approach wrong. There is ADS-B data for the full flight. Anyone can check the plane’s actual flighpath.

Pilots can refuse ATC orders that are unsafe. The approach they were originally planning would have crossed the river and had the same risk of traffic.

The helicopter pilot seeing the wrong plane is a likely explanation. There were other planes in the area. The controller warned of the traffic. The pilot confirmed having the plane in sight.

That’s a stretch too far sadly. Hopefully someday I can move to Germany, but not yet.

It seems that way to me too. Bum is the more common british term, and butt is much more american. Perhaps these two facts are related somehow.

Not a coincidence! Trans girl’s gotta find a good name somewhere. Can’t think of anyone better to name myself after.

From information on flightradar24’s article, the collision happened at around 300-400 ft. Those altitudes are too low for TCAS to issue alerts. The Black Hawk had a transponder broadcasting with mode S, so it would be visible to TCAS and the tower, but it was not broadcasting ADS-B, which would let you see it on most flight tracking websites.

The jet would have received an audible TCAS alert if this happened at a higher altitude.

the bum is fat below your sit bones. It’s there to be comfy for when you sit on things. Bigger butt means more comfortable sitting.

I mean this in the least sexual possible way. Big butts are great!

But yeah many people are weirdly into sex and that makes me uncomfortable too.

im scared :3

I used to but the E cured my chronic depression :3

This whole time I just assumed you were lonely depression posting ironically. Your brave face is effective.

<3 take care I wish you the best <3

the 7 and 8 are all codenamed after plants. Lavender, Violet, Ginko, Begonia, Williow and Biloba.

Half are trees. Most are better names for trans women than Begonia.

Being trans really does give an unfair advantage in chess somehow… and so does wearing jeans.

I’m sure a trans woman wearing jeans would be so powerful at chess FiDE would have to invent a title above grandmaster.

I kind of wonder what the worst possible flower to have as a name. I would say begonia. Very pretty flower, not so pretty of a word.

humor is subjective

im trans and thought it was funny.

its the risk of online sarcasm, it can easily be missed and taken at face value which makes it even funnier.

blahaj.zone has very strict enforcement of noninclusive language and statements. as much as I personally appreciate this brand of humor, its probably unwise to post similar comments on this instance

I love the enunciation. There’s an elegance and poise to the consonants that I wish I could do myself.

It does however sound inauthentic, mostly in the tone and pitch. The tone is thin, and the pitch range is really compressed. You seem to be speaking as high as possible constantly, so you have no room to raise and lower your pitch during phrases.

Women’s voices are way lower than many people realize. Your recording is pretty illustrative of why most literature on voice training stress the importance of resonance over pitch.

The first link and text of the post is about getting a copy of the birth certificate.

The second link is about amendments and seems accurate as far as I can tell.

Regardless you will probably want to order certified copies at the same time.

The US did issue passports with an x gender marker. The first one was issued in 2021 after a lawsuit, and the option was on the official paperwork in 2022. Most would usually advise against doing so as many countries do not recognize the X gender, and would deny entry as a result. Be aware of where you want to travel and that those countries are accepting before you commit to the X marker.

That was before the newest administration. It remains to be seen how things will play out in future as many executive orders will be blocked in the courts. Executive orders are the lowest tier federal legislation, overruled by nearly everything else.

A friend of mine became a notary, and I signed some form declaring their trustworthiness. Apparently its a good business. Anyone buying a house needs a notary and will pay for the service especially if you do house calls.
