A tragic collision between an American Airlines plane and a US Army Black Hawk helicopter has left all 67 onboard presumed dead. The plane carried 64 passengers, while the helicopter had three military personnel.
Investigators are analyzing black box data, revealing the plane was at 325ft and the helicopter at 200ft. Experts are puzzled by a “100ft discrepancy” in altitude. The helicopter’s black box, submerged in the Potomac River, is being recovered.
NTSB officials are working to determine the cause. President Trump blamed the crash on the helicopter, stating it was “flying too high.”
