A report reveals that Capt. Rebecca Lobach, the Army Blackhawk pilot involved in a crash that killed 67 people, ignored her co-pilot's warning moments before the accident. The instruction to change course was missed, and the pilots interrupted air traffic control communications, leading to missed crucial information. The helicopter used visuals instead of air traffic control guidance, increasing human error risks. Technology that would have aided in tracking the helicopter was disabled, further compounding the failure. Overall, these factors culminated in the disaster during a training mission.
In the chaotic moments leading up to the crash, critical communications were missed by the crew, contributing directly to the tragic accident that claimed 67 lives.
Investigators noted that the failure to heed air traffic control instructions, combined with poor situational awareness, created an intersection of errors leading to the catastrophe.
