Some pilots have made a point of reassuring passengers they are in safe hands before taking off. Many of them heard in videos that are making their rounds on social media. In one video, the passenger captioned it, "The American Airlines captain just said the exact words that I (and everyone else) needed to hear."
The answer he gives drawing on his 20+ years of experience in aviation is yes.
The investigation into the crash is ongoing. The latest information revealed the American Airlines plane did make a sudden upward turn just before the collision with the Army Blackhawk helicopter, which may indicate the pilots tried to maneuver the plane away from trouble at the last second. Investigators also say the helicopter was flying higher than its authorized altitude.
He says the tragic incident fuels those in aviation to ensure their passengers are safe.
"Not just the pilots that are operating the aircraft – the flight attendants, the mechanics, the agents that are boarding the flight – we have a passion for what we do," he said. "There's a satisfaction that we get from getting people where they need to go safely, efficiently, and on time, and things like this actually increase that passion to make sure that we're doing everything that we can to limit the risks and keep the operation as safe as possible."
