Although inquiry into cause of crash is ongoing, president weighed in on how the accident that killed 67 occurred
Donald Trump has said that the military Black Hawk helicopter that was in a catastrophic collision with an American Airlines jet in Washington DC was “flying too high, by a lot”, as investigators on Friday continued to piece together the reasons for the disaster.
All 64 people on the passenger plane, along with the three people in the army helicopter, died on Wednesday night after the two aircraft crashed into each other in midair very close to the Reagan National airport. The bodies of more than 40 people had been recovered from the icy Potomac River by Friday morning, where the wreckage now lies.
