Note for 2025: don't fly in the US
If you can help it, probably don't be in the US at all. And, if you're feeling generous, maybe take a few of us with you.

One ATC working two positions.
Cant imagine why this happened.
Very common, I doubt it's contributing. Positions are made to combine up when it's less busy and to split off when it's more busy. You only rarely see all positions completely split off at most facilities.
BIG question is why the military helicopter, with onboard radar and proximity alerts that had to be going off in the cockpit, continue to fly into a commercial aircraft.
Pilots were flying under NVG (limited field of view) and appear to have been watching the wrong plane when they said they had the traffic in sight. Were probably flying too low for TCAS, if a black hawk even has it.

Yes, based on what I've read the communication with the tower was all timely and accurate, it sounds like the pilot of the helicopter made an error

the nazi musk, after being fined, pushed out the administrator of the agency that fined him.
well done, trump voters 👍
The whole point of this administration is revenge and demonstrating the power of the hated. The goal is to enshrine a permanent oligarchy and rich ruling class that no longer has to pander to the masses because they're tired of doing it.
