Who is Jo Ellis? Trans Black Hawk Pilot Wrongly Named in DC Crash

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.
