Before Wednesday’s deadly collision between a US Army helicopter and American Airlines flight 5342, the helicopter was conducting a training exercise for a capital attack, including the evacuation of the White House. The crash occurred just before 9 p.m., killing all three crew members. Social media speculated that the helicopter was practicing a presidential emergency evacuation plan, part of the US government’s Continuity of Government (COG) mission. COG ensures vital operations continue during catastrophic events like terrorist attacks or natural disasters. The mission focuses on protecting infrastructure and key individuals. On Friday, the names of the crew members were released: Staff Sergeant Ryan O’Hara, crew chief, and pilot Andrew Eaves, along with Chief Warrant Officer 2.
