Pigheadedness Behind Crash

Remember the collision in January between a U.S. Army Blackhawk helicopter and American  Eagle Flight 5342 above the Potomac River in Washington D.C.? The crash, which left 67 people dead, is now being squarely blamed on the helicopter’s female pilot Rebecca Lobach. She was told by air traffic control to veer away, and also by her male co-pilot to turn left.

But did she do so? Not at all.

Was she miffed because men were trying to tell her what to do? But was she simply pigheaded, or also somehow dazed, or neglectful? None of us will ever know exactly what motivated her, or more precisely, didn’t motivate her to act. But the horrendous death toll most certainly raises questions about the value of DEI (diversity, equity, inclusion) policies? We all must face death at some point, but what’s the point speeding up the process?
