Conflicting preliminary data raise questions about aircrafts’ altitude at time of plane-helicopter crash

LA Times  

Members of a Fire and Rescue team search for debris on the Potomac River on Saturday, near where an American Airlines jet and a Black Hawk helicopter collided. Preliminary data showed conflicting readings about the altitudes of an airliner and Army helicopter when they collided near Reagan National Airport in Washington, killing 67 people, investigators said Saturday. Data from the jet’s flight recorder showed its altitude as 325 feet, plus or minus 25 feet, when the crash happened Wednesday night, National Transportation Safety Board officials told reporters. “That’s what our job is, to figure that out,” said NTSB member Todd Inman, who grew agitated with reporters’ questions seeking more information and clarity about the readings during a Saturday evening news conference. The collision occurred as an American Airlines flight from Wichita, Kan., carrying 60 passengers and four crew members was preparing to land at Reagan National Airport, just across the Potomac River from the nation’s capital, and hit an Army Black Hawk helicopter that apparently flew into the jet’s path.
