Chilling new audio has surfaced, capturing the final moments before the tragic collision between a Black Hawk helicopter and an American Airlines flight over Washington, D.C. The recording reveals that the helicopter crew was alerted twice by air traffic control about the proximity of the passenger plane. Despite having ample time to avoid the collision, aviation experts suggest the crew may have been distracted by another aircraft in the vicinity. The crash, which claimed the lives of 64 people on the American Airlines flight and three soldiers aboard the helicopter, has raised serious questions about the crew's decision-making in the moments leading up to the deadly disaster. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is conducting a thorough investigation into the incident.
