The truth behind the rumor dc crash crash black hawk co-pilot was this trans-fun service woman

A transgender black Hawk pilot is incorrectly named as one of the three US army staff flying the helicopter who collided with a plane in Washington DC.

Jo Ellis, 34, was incorrectly identified as the female co-pilot by the doomed chopper on Thursday.

A shaking sounding Ellis picked up the phone when she was called by DailyMail.com on Friday morning, which confirmed she was not killed.

Ellis added, ‘I live a lot.’

She said the false rumors had ‘shocked’, her with the Pentagon is said to prepare a statement in an attempt to debunk online lies.

Ellis, who previously worked for CNN star Michael Smerconish, said the slurks are ‘disrespectful to the families of the 67 people killed in Wednesday evening’s disaster.

On Friday, the co-pilot of the US Army Black Hawk Sikorsky UH-60 was a female service member on a training variety.

She has not been identified.

Chief Warrant Officer Andrew Eaves and Ryan O’Hara from Georgia were the other two service staff on board.

It is said that the helicopter has flown at a higher height than normal height when it collided with the American Eagle Flight 5342 when it landed in Reagan National Airport in Washington DC shortly before 21:00 on a Wednesday night.

Terrible video footage showed that the two aircraft collided in a fireball before throwing themselves into the icy Potomac River just east of Reagan’s runways.

The three soldiers aboard Black Hawk were all killed, as were the 60 passengers and four crew on board Bombardier CRJ-700 aircraft.

Investigators are still working to determine what caused the crash, with recovery efforts underway Friday when 14 bodies remain in the water.

On Thursday night, it appeared that an air traffic controller at Reagan Airport had been sent home from their shifts early, which means the person was responsible for both air and helicopter traffic.

Recordings of the black Hawk, which crashes down the side of the aircraft, has also caused speculation that the chop was blamed.

Robert Isoms, CEO of American Eagle’s parent company American Airlines, questioned why the chopper had crossed the aircraft’s path.

President Trump suggested policies with diversity, justice and inclusion (DEI) were to blame, with some online ‘Sleuths’, which then appointed Ellis.

A blog written by Ellis said she had spent her childhood home education in most of her education and had been struggling with gender dysmorphia since five years.

She took up the military in 2009 as a 15g helicopter mechanic in Virginia National Guard and continued to deploy to Iraq with Operation New Dawn two years later.

After serving the air medal for her bravery in the Middle East, she also served in Guatemala and Kuwait in subsequent years.

While she said she worked through gender dysmorphia by trying to become ‘more successful and more manly’, she got married, adopted a dog and raised a step daughter when ‘all the things I thought a good man should do.’

Ellis wrote that by 2020 she was’ accepted in the Army Warrant Officer Flight Training Program. I completed Warrant Officer Candidate School, Sere School (survival, evasion, resistance and escape) and the UH60 Black Hawk Helicopter Course. ‘

She said that the pandemic and rigority of the airline school led to her confronting her gender dysphoria and deciding with the support of her spouse to change.

She said when she told her military commands in 2023 that she was met with immediate support.

The day before the tragic collision over Reagan International Airport, Ellis had given an interview with Sirius XM DJ and CNN host Michael Smerconish, whose site she once managed.

Ellis talked about his pride in earning 15 years in the military and fighting gender dysmorphism before he came out.

She said in the interview that she is currently serving in the National Guard as a Blackhawk helicopter pilot, as well as working a private sector IT job.
