Due to the unexpected Mid-Air Crash between a Military Blackhawk Helicopter that was reported to have been on a “Continuity of Government” Training Exercise, that crashed into an American Airline Jet that had been given the ok by the Air Traffic Controller to head for the runway at Reagan National Airport, one of the most congested and dangerous airports in the world, Kim will be doing a short talk about how to remedy events like this so that they don’t happen again.
While we greatly benefit from receiving the information from, “official reports” and news commentaries we should become very interested in not only the obvious details about the plane, the helicopter, the air traffic controllers involved and additional data points that can be verified. Kim will share how specific changes can transform and upgrade safety levels, not only at The Reagan National Airport, but in Airports around the entire world.
What’s needed is a whole systems approach to what’s actually happened and to identify protocols, airport conditions and issues that were happening even before this catastrophic event. This means that we need to be receptive to both traditional and unorthodox ways of getting information and data, so that all of it may be put together not just at the NTSB and the FAA level, but, on a Military, Government & Intelligence level of understanding. One may think this is obvious, but, when Kim gets done sharing with you what she has to share with you, you may find out that you are in a new place in your own ability to receive, investigate and discover what you need to know about what factors converged to cause this tragic loss of life. She will use this case example as part of the talk. Coming up soon in Audio only. Stay tuned.

Hi Kim:
Thank You for your insights and broad perspective–if only this was standard practice in our modern mostly distrusted media–
I can’t disagree with you on anything
here. Basic issues include two
disconnected cultures, military and
civilian. Having grown up on
airforce bases I was aware, at least
on some level, that it was insulated
from the ‘World Outside’. As to
how the two cultures (and they Are
cultures) can interact successfully
and efficiently, it can only be
approached from the frame of
awareness that you are discussing.
Otherwise, we can only expect more
of the same.
Deep complete , professionnal level analyse
As expected, this was an insightful commentary. Really cut through the surface noise and went right to root causes.
