American President Donald Trump stated that the military helicopter “Black Hawk” was flying too high at the moment of collision with a passenger plane over the Potomac River, leading to an accident in which at least 40 bodies have been found. The helicopter was flying above the permitted altitude of 200 feet, which, according to Trump, was the result of a training error. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth confirmed that the mistake involved an altitude issue. The collision occurred when the plane with 64 people and the helicopter with three soldiers fell into the Potomac River.
