The Blackhawk helicopter pilot was a woman trainee with 500 hours flying the helicopter

Her trainer was a male flight instructor with 1000 hours flying helicopters, from what I’ve heard

The fault should, and likely will, land mostly on the Blackhawk helicopter flight instructor. Trainees are supposed to make mistakes. Instructors are supposed to keep those mistakes from killing people
I think it was an accident... but if it turns out the tower was understaffed, then that's the reason this happened.

TBH I would prefer these flight controllers can assure me that they can prevent two planes from colliding at an airport or I wont ever fuckn fly again.

I think it could be something on the military's side, because we've had 4 blackhawk crashes in the last 4 years, and 2 in the last 20 before that.
