A former Black Hawk pilot is dropping a bombshell hypothesis about the Washington, D.C. crash, telling TMZ she believes neither the American Airlines jet nor the chopper would have seen the deadly collision coming.
Elizabeth McCormick, who flew Black Hawks for 8 years in her military career, tells TMZ a mid-air collision is the "least survivable" type of accidents an aircraft can face -- adding she is of the opinion neither pilot would’ve had a clue what was coming until impact -- based on what she has seen in news reports.
Catch the video, 'cause McCormick breaks it down even more. She says it was the chopper's job to move out of the plane's way, but with only 3 military crew members on board to keep lookout and air traffic control not picking up on the warning signs, there was no way they could’ve known what was about to happen.

Per Spencer, he's seen Andy's recent apology, where the 'WWHL' star expressed regret over calling Heidi "trash" on TV nearly 15 years earlier ... but noted the contrite update didn't mean a whole lot since AC hadn't "reached out privately."

Jelly Roll may sing the song "Save Me" ... but, Saturday night he's giving back to people who ran headlong into danger to save L.A. amid the recent devastating wildfires -- putting on a benefit concert for first responders and their families ... TMZ has learned.
Multiple sources tell us mass emails have already been sent to several SoCal fire departments and law enforcement agencies -- including the National Guard ... giving them until midnight tonight to request tickets for the once-in-a-lifetime show. To be clear: the show is only for first responders and their guests ... no general admission.
A source with direct knowledge tells TMZ ... the event is not a fundraiser ... Jelly Roll is putting on the concert out of the kindness of his heart to thank all the first responders who've worked tirelessly to battle the deadly wildfires.
The event just went live on Ticketmaster ... offering first responders in L.A. up to four tickets for themselves and friends or family to watch the artist, and his unnamed "friends," perform at the Rose Bowl on Feb 1.

Brian Keith Thompson, a celebrity tattooist and body piercer, is issuing a major warning to those wanting to jump on the butt crack piercing trend like Cardi B.
Brian, who owns Body Electric Tattoo in Los Angeles, applauds the "WAP" rapper for getting such a "cool" bit of drip ... but warns the strategically placed piercing is NOT for the faint of heart.
Thompson tells us the gluteal microdermals -- a horizontal surface piercing -- take a long time to heal and can scar "really badly" ... with the risk of infection being high due to the location of the jewelry.
BKT believes Cardi can pull off this tricky piercing given her extensive track record ... she already has piercings in her ears, nose, lip, chest, belly button, and eyebrow. Yet, he says he'd warn "the general public" against getting the piercing, since he feels responsible for all his work.
He adds ... "Once you do something like that, you own it. So, all the problems that come in, you've got to own those too."
Though Brian didn't do Cardi's latest piercing, he did give her the microdermals for her chest and the lip piercing she rocked on her 2020 Elle cover.
Watch the video ... because Brian gets candid about how Cardi handled the pain with her different piercings -- hint, she was not about to rap "I Like It" afterwards!!!

The "Power" star first cracks a joke, saying he’ll call Snoop to get the scoop, but then he gets serious, reminding us Hip Hop has always championed expression -- and we should give the rap stars space to share their sides of the story, despite any feelings they betrayed their community by making a political statement.
You’ve gotta check out the clip -- Omari breaks down his POV, hinting there could be more to their decision to perform than just politics ... so they should have the chance to explain their motives.

The 53-year-old -- who now works as FOX Sports' NFL and college football rules analyst -- said even though Kansas City may seem to be getting the benefit of a lot of close calls in big games ... he's sure there's no directive from Roger Goodell to have refs favor the Chiefs.
Blandino said if anyone would know about such a plan -- it'd be him ... seeing as he oversaw the NFL's officials from 2013 to 2017.
