THE TRAGEDY OF THE BLACK HAWK CRASH: ACCIDENT OR SUICIDE MISSION

Regarding Pilot Rebecca Lobach, this is what remained on social media... Captain Rebecca Lobach loved adventure. She never shied away from a challenge and worked every day to make the world a better place. The US Army just identified her as the third pilot on the helicopter that crashed in DC last week. Please read this statement from her family and keep them close to your heart.

 
“We are devastated by the loss of our beloved Rebecca. She was a bright star in all our lives. She was kind, generous, brilliant, funny, ambitious and strong. No one dreamed bigger or worked harder to achieve her goals.

Rebecca began her career in the United States Army as a distinguished military graduate in ROTC at the University of North Carolina, and was in the top 20% of cadets nationwide. She achieved the rank of Captain, having twice served as a Platoon Leader and as a Company Executive Officer in the 12th Aviation Battalion, Davison Army Airfield, Fort Belvoir, Virginia. With more than 450 hours of flight time, she earned certification as a pilot-in-command after extensive testing by the most senior and experienced pilots in her battalion.

Rebecca was a warrior and would not hesitate to defend her country in battle. But she was as graceful as she was fierce: in addition to her duties as an Army aviator, Rebecca was honored to serve as a White House Military Social Aide, volunteering to support the President and First Lady in hosting countless White House events, including ceremonies awarding the Medal of Honor and the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Rebecca cared about people, and she extended to individuals the same fearless defense she gave to this nation. She was proud of the difference she made as a certified Sexual Harassment/Assault Response and Prevention (SHARP) Victim Advocate and hoped to continue her education so she could serve this country as a physician when her time with the Army ended. She once said, "My experiences with SHARP have reinforced my resolve to serve others with compassion, understanding, and the resources necessary for healing."

The truth is Rebecca's social media accounts were scrubed before she was announced as the third pilot. It was Rebecca who was piloting the helicopter that crashed into the airplaine, and now it was discovered that she did not listen to orders. Rebecca Lobach failed to follow her co-pilot and instructor Andrew Eaves's order to turn left in a bid to avoid the descending aircraft, ignoring his instructions just 15 seconds before the crash. A risky flying manoeuvre, a series of miscommunications, and ignoring her co-pilot's warnings led to the Black Hawk helicopter crashing into an American Airlines flight over the Potomac River in the US - resulting in the deaths of 67 people aboard, including all three members of the chopper - according to a report by The New York Times.

The helicopter was flying at 278 feet, way above its permissible limit of 200 feet, while the plane - flying at an altitude of 313 feet - was heading towards runway 33 at the Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport in Virginia when they collided mid-air at an altitude of about 300 feet at 8:48 pm (local time) on January 29, 2025. I am not 100% ready to say that this flight was a suicide mission for Rebecca Lobach, but I definitely do not think she was a hero. It is tragic if she did this on purpose, and I hope the truth comes out...
