The worst plane crash in the American in 20 years has taken place. President Trump has blamed the policies implemented by the Joe Biden administration for this plane crash that killed 67 people. How did this deadly plane crash actually happen? What was the cause? A news collection about it.
An American Airlines passenger plane crashed in mid-air in Washington. The crashed plane (Potomac) fell into the Potomac River. American Airlines Flight 5342 was built in Canada in 2004. This twin-engine plane can carry up to 70 passengers
The jet took off from Wichita, Kansas City. There were 60 passengers and four flight attendants on board. It collided with a military Black Hawk helicopter in mid-air as it approached the runway at Ronald Reagan National Airport, breaking apart and falling into the nearby Potomac River. The military has confirmed that the military helicopter that crashed took off from Virginia.
The footage of the plane and the helicopter colliding in mid-air was recorded on a surveillance camera at the Kennedy Center near the airport. The footage of the plane crash, which appeared to be a huge fireball in the sky, is heartbreaking.
Eyewitnesses to the horrific accident said it looked like a giant Roman candle burning. The National Transportation Safety Board said the accident happened in a split second.
Officials also said they have recovered the black box, which contains the flight data and the cockpit voice recorder. It has been said that the black box will be tested at the National Transportation Safety Board.
The last data received from the plane showed that the plane was flying at an altitude of about 400 feet and at a speed of 140 miles per hour at the time of the accident.
LiveATC.net, a company that provides live air traffic control broadcasts from air traffic control towers and radars around the world, confirmed in its voice recording that the plane was initially cleared to land on runway one.
The helicopter pilot was told to wait for the passenger jet to depart, but there was no response from the helicopter pilot. The exchange of information was believed to have taken place within 30 seconds of the crash.
It is believed that a miscommunication by air traffic control may have caused the crash.
The US Federal Aviation Administration employs 35,000 people, including air traffic controllers.
President Trump, who expressed his condolences to all those involved in the crash, said: “May God rest the souls of the deceased.” He added that such an accident should never have happened.
President Trump has accused the airline industry of being underfunded by Joe Biden’s diversity policy.
In January 1982, an Air Florida flight crashed into the Potomac River, killing 78 people.
In 2001, an American Airlines flight crashed into a residential area of Bellevue, New York, shortly after taking off from JFK Airport. All 260 people on board were killed. It was the worst air disaster since then.
