Two employees with the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority in D.C. are facing charges after allegedly leaking official airport footage of a tragic incident involving an Army UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter and an American Airlines passenger flight. The collision occurred just outside Washington Reagan National Airport (DCA) and resulted in the aircraft plunging into the Potomac River.
According to MWAA officials, the suspects are accused of making an unauthorized copy of Airports Authority records related to the plane collision. The leaked footage reportedly made its way to CNN, prompting an investigation into the breach.
