American Airlines CRJ-700 collides with helicopter near Reagan National

That's what it looks like. I mean, the helicopter would be in the best position not only to have the best visual but also to make evasive moves, wouldn't it?

Yeah. I think it could be deceptive, maybe. It appears the helicopter catches up from behind but it seems more likely they crossed paths. Thinking the plane is flying more so at an angle away from the camera and the helicopter more so left to right from that POV. At least trying to make sense of speed. If converging altitude was part of it, maybe the helicopter pilot didn’t have as clear of a sightline as it would seem.
