Newly released data from ground-based radar came out Tuesday suggesting an Army helicopter was higher than it was supposed to be when it collided with American Airlines Flight 5342 a week ago, killing all 67 people aboard both aircraft.

The National Transportation Safety Board says the helicopter must be recovered from the Potomac River so it can get more precise data.

The Army helicopter that collided with a passenger plane above the Potomac River boasted an experienced crew doing “an unforgiving job.” Friends and relatives are still baffled and mourning their loss.

The National Transportation Safety Board confirmed that flight data showed the military chopper was flying too high when it hit the passenger jet close to the Ronald Reagan Airport

A 3-D model created by The Times visualizes the helicopter pilots’ field of view minutes before a fatal crash with a jet in Washington.

In an update on Tuesday, officials say that transcriptions for both aircrafts cockpit voice recordings are ongoing.

Data retrieved by the National Transportation Safety Board confirmed the Army Black Hawk helicopter that crashed into a passenger plane near D.C. was flying too high.

The Army pilots were juggling dark skies, low altitude, a busy airspace and a cockpit without certain traffic detectors before the helicopter’s midair crash with a regional passenger jet.
