After hours of testimony and thousands of pages of new documents, here’s what emerged in the first day of a marathon National Transportation Safety Board hearing.
Flight instruments probably led the Black Hawk crew to believe the helicopter was lower than it actually was before the collision with a commercial airplane on Jan. 29.
Law enforcement and rescue teams searched the Potomac River next to the wreckage of an American Airlines plane that crashed into a helicopter near Reagan National Airport in Arlington, Va., in January.
The National Transportation Safety Board is also expected to release a trove of documents related to the fatal midair collision in January between an Army helicopter and a regional jet at Reagan National Airport.
