Shocking New Footage of US Military Helicopter Collision with American Airlines Released – EVOL

Newly released footage has revealed shocking details about the tragic collision between a US military helicopter and an American Airlines passenger jet near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport last Wednesday, which killed all 67 people aboard both aircraft.

The American Airlines flight 5342, operated by PSA Airlines and flying from Wichita, Kansas, collided with a military helicopter over the Potomac River while on its final approach to Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. The impact caused both aircraft to crash into the Potomac River.

According to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, the Army unit involved was Bravo Company, 12th Aviation Battalion, which is based at Fort Belvoir.

The Black Hawk’s crew was operating under night vision conditions, and the purpose of the flight was to maintain required operational proficiency.

“It was an annual proficiency training flight,” said Hegseth in a video statement.

“When we look at the crew, and not all can have been notified, so we’re going to withhold the ranks and names at this point. We do know on our side who was involved.

He added, “It was a fairly experienced crew that was doing a required annual night evaluation. They did have night vision goggles.”
