Chilling Audio Reveals Final Moments of US Plane, Black Hawk Crash | Helicopter Crew Warned Twice?

Chilling new audio has surfaced, capturing the final moments before the tragic collision between a Black Hawk helicopter and an American Airlines flight over Washington, D.C. The recording reveals that the helicopter crew was alerted twice by air traffic control about the proximity of the passenger plane. Despite having ample time to avoid the collision, aviation experts suggest the crew may have been distracted by another aircraft in the vicinity. The crash, which claimed the lives of 64 people on the American Airlines flight and three soldiers aboard the helicopter, has raised serious questions about the crew's decision-making in the moments leading up to the deadly disaster. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is conducting a thorough investigation into the incident.

Abuse continued in Army after Beck's death, friend says

A friend of Jaysley Beck has said sexual abuse in the Army is still going on years after the former Royal Artillery gunner's death. The body of the 19-year-old was found in a locker room at Wiltshire's Larkhill Camp in 2021. She had been subjected to relentless harassment from her line manager, Bombardier Ryan Mason, an inquest was told. Beck had also filed a complaint against Battery Sergeant Major Michael Webber who "pinned her down" and tried to kiss her at a work social. Former soldier Tamzin Hort compared being a woman in the Army to being "a piece of meat in a tank of sharks" and that "people get sexually assaulted left, right and centre, but nothing's done about it".
