washington, dc, usa - Authorities in the US reveal conflicting altitude data in the investigation of the plane-helicopter collision near Washington, DC.

Conflicting Altitude Data in US Plane-Helicopter Collision Investigation

Authorities in the US are facing discrepancies in altitude data regarding the collision between a passenger plane and a military helicopter. The 38-meter difference in altitudes of the two aircraft involved in the crash remains unexplained.

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) officials disclosed that changes in the pitch angle of the plane's longitudinal axis to the horizon were detected just before the collision, but no statement was made regarding whether this was an attempt by the pilots to avoid the crash.

Data from the flight data recorder indicated that the plane's altitude was approximately 99 meters at the time of the crash, while the findings from the control tower showed that the 'Black Hawk' helicopter was at a height of 61 meters during the collision.

NTSB officials expressed hope that resolving the altitude differences would be possible with the recovery of the helicopter's flight data recorder.

Plane Crash Details

The Federal Aviation Administration announced that on January 29th, an American Airlines plane collided with a 'Black Hawk' military helicopter near Ronald Reagan Airport. The collision occurred close to Washington, DC, resulting in the aircraft and the helicopter crashing into the Potomac River with no survivors.

US President Donald Trump commented on the incident, stating that the helicopter was in the wrong place at the wrong time and emphasizing the tragedy of the crash.
