FAA Audio Hudson Mid-Air Collision

Audio courtesy: FAA

This animation consists of a two-dimensional (2-D) depiction of preliminary radar flight path information of the August 8, 2009 mid-air collision of a Piper 32 aircraft with a Eurocopter helicopter. The animation begins after the Pipers departure from Teterboro airport, and continues until the collision. The radar ground tracks for both aircraft are displayed on a satellite photo illustration of the area. The 2-D animation is followed by a three-dimensional (3-D) representation of the collision. The 3-D animation is a thirty second, chase view of the Piper 32 depicting the closure of the helicopter with the Piper, ending at the collision. After the 3-D representation, post-collision photographs obtained from witnesses are shown as still images.

Selected comments from the Teterboro and Newark air traffic control (ATC) preliminary transcript are displayed as text, and the animation audio consists of portions of the recorded air traffic control communications. The animation does not depict the weather or visibility conditions at the time of the accident.

Judging by your name, I'm not suprised.

[lunchbag08]

you learn in training to not always rely on ATC you have to scan and look for traffic, ATC cant do everything and they can make mistakes, they are people just like me and you not God. you have to look out for youself up there and ATC will be there to help out a little.

Wiki ~ hudson-river-midair

Google it.

That will satisfy your mind as to how much the funny cat shit cell phone conversation cost.

9 Lives. (coincidental?)

If you fly with your head up your ass you are gonna meet the reaper.

Luck does run out.

Bottom line:

"The Teterboro Airport local controller unnecessarily delayed transferring communications for the accident airplane from Teterboro to Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR), which prevented the EWR controller from turning the airplane away from Hudson River traffic and having the airplane climb directly into class B airspace."

"The Teterboro Airport local controller did not provide continual traffic advisories to the airplane pilot, as required" (Official NTSB Report)

@castlekid08

lol go on ebay and find yourself some

sense of humor.

[castlekid08]

@blckwaterpark WTF you talking about?! TSA has nothing to do with aircraft separation!!!!!!

[yellowcub86]

you wrong his sector does not cover hudson river vfr corridor so the guy to blame its the lance guy

[yellowcub86]

you cant avoid when something is coming in from behind you explain to me how would you do that in AS350?

[blckwaterpark]

This guy should be charged for manslaughter in the death of 9 people. Its his job to make sure no 2 aircraft collide. Yet he was busy talking on the phone while he could have been looking on the screen. Get a job at TSA if you can't handle serious work that matters.

yeah man i was thinking the same thing, way too common do i hear readbacks being blown off, not entirely but too much assumption that the right info was passed.

i dont know if my ears are playing tricks on me between the mic ruffle, adjacent facility or position calling, and the pilot readback, but i heard "one two seven point...." rest is too ruffled.

either way, couldnt teterboro tower have hit up 71MC on guard? i heard no attempt to use emergency freqs on this feed.

whats the result?

[frequenceez]

stop blaming the controller...He did not do anything wrong..

[bajesus666]

fly the damn thing before anything!
