00:00So, we've got some time to wait, but let's just talk about the rhetoric that President
00:04Trump, as you mentioned there, has surrounded this. He said that military helicopter was
00:10just flying too high. Do you think this could have contributed to the collision, or do we
00:15just not know until we've got these reports through?
00:19I think it's always dangerous to go too far speculating. I'm a big fan of the Air Accident
00:24Investigation doing their job, but I suspect one of the areas they will be focused on is
00:29how did two airplanes end up being in the same patch of sky? As I said, it does look
00:33like the civilian aircraft was following the correct track. It was in the right approach
00:38path for runway 33 on that evening. So, the question is, why was the military helicopter
00:44at 400 feet, not as it's meant to be, at 200 feet?
