It is just astonishing that the US Navy with a mega million dollar helicopter and an airline can collide, or that a huge ocean going vessel can run into a anchored ship. I honstly don't understand how they don't have systems far superior to our little Cessna to avoid collisions. |
I just read an article that states the military helicopter involved in the Potomac tragedy had their ADS-B turned off . I am no expert but a safety feature in the off position isn't of much use . Could a similar scenario have taken place with this ship collision ? Time will tell .
