Mary Schiavo: Airline Pilots Had ‘One Second to Try to Pull Up’ Before Potomac Air Collision
‘A military fighter jet couldn‘t climb that fast’
RUSH EXCERPT:
SCHIAVO: "Well, that. Slight indication in pitch is that the pilots pulled back. They pulled the plane to an increase, and an increase in pitch means they‘re putting the nose up towards the sky and trying to climb. But it came literally, within, you know, a second at the time of the impact. So that tells us that they did not see the helicopter until just, you know, a second at impact. But they had that one second to try to pull up, which is not I mean a CRJ couldn‘t climb out of there."
