WASHINGTON D.C. - The pilot of the Black Hawk that crashed into a passenger jet in January, killing all 67 people aboard both aircraft, failed to turn the military helicopter when advised to do so by her co-pilot, according to a new report.
On Sunday, The New York Times published new details on various “failures” underlying the mid-air collision, which happened over the Potomac River in the Washington, D.C., area.
In the final moments, Capt. Rebecca Lobach, who was piloting the Army Black Hawk Helicopter involved in the crash, was told by her co-pilot and instructor, Chief Warrant Officer 2 Andrew Loyd Eaves, that he believed air traffic control wanted them to turn left to avoid the American Airlines passenger jet as it was about to land at Reagan National Airport.
“Turning left would have opened up more space between the helicopter and Flight 5342, which was heading for Runway 33 at an altitude of roughly 300 feet,” the New York Times report said. “She did not turn left.” Click here to read more.
LAREDO, TX - A mother in East Texas faces a felony count of injury to a child after she allegedly served vodka-laced Jell-O shots to fifth graders at a holiday party in December.
Teresa Isabel Bernal, 33, was arrested and booked last week after a nearly four-month investigation into the incident that took place December 20 at Jones Elementary School in Tyler.
Bernal, who teachers and administrators described as “an involved parent and was present at many functions at the school,” maintains it was a mistake and she had no idea the gelatin contained alcohol. She told police she purchased the treat at a local home-based business. Her own daughter is a student in the class.
The result of the holiday shots was not a bunch of crazed fifth-grade party animals, though school staff said students had consumed nearly all of the shots before staff realized they contained alcohol.
“One child threw up and another was unable to stand up after consuming six shots,” said an arrest affidavit obtained by KETK news in Laredo. Fifteen students were sent to the school nurse and reported headaches and stomach problems. Another student claimed he had “passed out” after school following the party. Click here to read more.
