Trump claims DC crash helicopter flew too high

EPA-EFE/SHAWN THEW

United States President Donald Trump claimed on Friday that the Black Hawk helicopter that collided with a United Airlines plane near the Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport was "flying too high" at the time of the crash. He alleged that the helicopter, which carried three soldiers on a training flight, "was far above the 200 foot limit" without providing any sources for his claims. The New York Times released a report in which sources briefed on the matter said the helicopter may have been flying above the limit.

The US National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the incident and should publish a report on it within 30 days. Trump also blamed the crash on the "diversity, equity and inclusion" (DEI) policies.
