A former air traffic controller, Vincent Sugent, has suggested that the Black Hawk helicopter involved in Wednesday night's fatal plane collision may have been flying above its restricted altitude, potentially contributing to the tragic incident. Sugent noted that adherence to altitude agreements is crucial in air traffic control and that any deviation from these agreements could lead to disastrous consequences.
President Donald Trump also weighed in on the situation, stating on social media that the Black Hawk helicopter was flying significantly higher than it should have been before the collision near Reagan National Airport, which claimed the lives of 67 individuals.
