Investigation by NTSB on altitude data of Black Hawk helicopter involved in fatal midair collision


Officials have confirmed that all 67 victims of a deadly midair collision near Washington, D.C.’s Ronald Reagan National Airport have been recovered. The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating new data that suggests the Black Hawk helicopter involved in the crash may have been above its 200-foot flight ceiling at the time of the collision.

According to NTSB officials, data from Potomac TRACON, the air traffic control facility overseeing the airspace around the airport, showed that the Black Hawk was at 300 feet on the air traffic control display at the time of the crash. Efforts are ongoing to recover wreckage from the Potomac River and verify data points from the helicopter.

Unified Command, which includes various authorities overseeing recovery efforts, has confirmed that all remains from the crash have been recovered and 66 have been identified. Maintenance paperwork for both aircraft is under review, and cockpit voice recorders are being transcribed for analysis.

The midair collision occurred on January 29 around 845 p.m. as American Airlines Flight 5342 was about to land at Reagan National Airport, resulting in the death of all individuals on board both aircraft. Investigators continue to gather information to determine the cause of the tragic incident.

This information comes from the National Transportation Safety Board, the Associated Press, and FOX 5 reporting.
