Who is Jo Ellis? Trans Black Hawk Pilot Wrongly Named in DC Crash
A transgender soldier has spoken out after being incorrectly named as one of the Black Hawk helicopter pilots involved in the collision with an American Airlines plane in Washington D.C on Wednesday.
“Some craziness has happened on the internet and I’m being named as one of the pilots of the DC crash,” Ellis wrote on Facebook on Friday.
“Please report any accounts or posts you see. It’s insulting to the victims and families of those lost and they deserve better than this BS from the bots and trolls of the internet.”
Newsweek has contacted Ellis for further comment on Facebook.
The Army helicopter collided with American Airlines Flight 5342 in mid-air as the plane was approaching Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport on Wednesday evening.
The collision sent both aircrafts plummeting into the Potomac River and killed all 60 passengers and four crew members on the plane, as well as the three soldiers onboard the helicopter.
Authorities have not released the names of the crew onboard the helicopter, but some social media users said Ellis was among them.
This is a breaking story. More to follow.
