I almost dropped my phone when I saw the headline: Hero pilot Captain Sully shares terrifying theory on why DC plane crash happened. If there\u2019s anyone I trust to analyze aviation disasters, it\u2019s Chesley \u201cSully\u201d Sullenberger\u2014the legendary pilot who pulled off the miraculous Hudson River landing in 2009, saving all 155 people on board. This time, Sully is raising serious concerns about the risks of flying over water at night, which he believes may have been a key factor in the recent midair collision near Washington, D.C.\n

The Dangers of Night Flights\n

Sully suggests that the tragic crash, which claimed 67 lives, may have been partly caused by poor visibility over dark water. He explained that at night, the absence of ground lights reflecting off the surface makes it significantly harder to spot other aircraft. As he put it, \u201cAll you can see are the lights on them,\u201d making it extremely difficult to judge altitude and distance. While some might argue that air traffic control should have intervened, Sully pointed out that if pilots visually confirm each other\u2019s presence, controllers can momentarily hand over separation responsibilities. Unfortunately, something went catastrophically wrong that night.\n
