A retired Army helicopter pilot shared insights into what may have caused Wednesday’s deadly midair collision over the Potomac River in Washington, DC — ranging from visibility challenges to pilot error to a freak accident.

Speaking to Fox News’ “Fox & Friends” Thursday, retired Lt. Col Darin Gaub, who flew Black Hawk helicopters like the one involved in Wednesday night’s crash, said “anything is on the table” when it comes to explaining the crash that claimed 67 lives.

“Why didn’t [the pilot] turn? Why didn’t [the pilot] even slow down?” Gaub said.

An ex-Black Hawk pilot, retired Lt. Col. Darin Gaub, spoke to “Fox & Friends,” sharing his insights on what may have caused Wednesday’s deadly midair collision over the Potomac River in Washington, DC. FOX

“Something caused him not to see that aircraft … so I’d just like to know is there an answer to the question of why they didn’t deviate from their flight course at all — speed or altitude.”

Before the crash, the pilot acknowledged a message from air traffic control warning about a passenger plane in the copter’s flight path.

Gaub suggested the helicopter pilot might have been looking at the wrong plane and didn’t see American Airlines Flight 5342 before the collision.

The Pentagon confirmed Thursday that pilots in the doomed US Army UH-60 helicopter were using night vision goggles to help them see during the training flight. . .
