Interview with Danilo Recine
Commander and Vice -President of Anpac
Socials are already full of images. It is dark on Washington skya plane is being landed at Ronald Reagan airport. While going down another veivolo arrives. From the images you don’t understand exactly what it is but now we know to be a helicopter. I’m on a collision course. They crash generating an explosion that illuminates the sky.
There are still many things from the air -core on Washington that we don’t know. Starting from number of victims. At the moment it is certain that 19 bodies have been recovered. The plane should accommodate about 60 passengers plus the crew. The helicopter had three passengers on boardall military. From the first reconstructions it seems that nobody has survived.
We have tried to reconstruct the whole affair with the commander Danilo RecineEspire pilot and vice -president of Anpac. The premise is that for such an accident, several information is still needed to get to all the details.
Air disaster in Kazakhstan, the hypothesis of the missile and anomalous tracks: the explanation of the expert
The helicopter was a military vehicle in the training phase. Can this have influenced the accident?
No, whether it was in the training phase or not this dynamic does not affect the rules of the flight at all. On the contrary. It only means that there was also an expert pilot on board.
The collision took place during the landing phase, then near the airport.
This is also a normal dynamic. This type of crossing in the areas close to airports is expected in the flight rules. Usually in these cases both pilots are asked if they have visibility on the other veivolo: they are typical procedures of visible flight.
Even in the areas so close to the city?
Yes, certainly. The visibility was good. I don’t know if the presence of all those lights was a decisive factor.
Watching the video of the accident, what did he think?
I think it was an incredible fatality a crazy accident. I can’t say if something has been done out of the procedures, so there will be the tracks and data collected by the black boxes.
How did the impact happen?
Here, this is to be clarified. At the moment it is not clear whether it was a front impact or if it was caused by the helicopter shovel. Accounts that we are not talking about two planes. The helicopter could also stop in flight. What happened is really strange.
